How does MCP Server for Power BI boost the productivity of data analysts and engineers?
Regular 50 minute session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and others can create code for you, even if you have never written a script before or are only familiar with one programming language. You can use them and your knowledge to apply it to a new field.
MCP Server-based agents are the next leap for engineers and data analysts. The deployment of measures, row-level security, or the creation of user-defined DAX functions can be done with their help. Analysts can also enrich their data and introduce new combinations for ad hoc analysis.
In this session, you will learn how to get started with Power BI and MCP.
You will learn about basic operations and the new capabilities.
This shows a new path for analysts.
You will also learn why the combination of TMDL+MCP+UDF is so impressive.
How you can use Data from a Semantic Model + Opendata to create a Python Plot
