What is the SemanticOps MCP (for Power BI) MCP server?

SemanticOps MCP is an MCP server that enables AI assistants to read and modify Power BI Desktop files programmatically. It allows you to query your data model, create measures, manage relationships, and optimize performance through natural language commands. The server runs locally on Windows and macOS with zero telemetry.

SemanticOps MCP bridges AI assistants and Power BI Desktop, letting you interact with your BI models conversationally. Instead of manually editing Power BI files, you can ask Claude or other AI to query your model, create or modify measures, adjust relationships, and improve performance—all with the ability to test changes before deploying and rollback mistakes if needed.
