The Power BI Modeling MCP Server VS code extension enables AI agents to access Power BI semantic modeling through a local MCP server. With this, developers and AI applications can engage with Power BI models in innovative ways—ranging from applying natural language to perform modeling changes to supporting autonomous, agent-driven development workflows.
With the MCP (Modeling Communication Protocol) server now integrated into VS Code, we can:
✨ Edit and manage semantic models directly in a developer-friendly environment
🔄 Automate model changes with CI/CD pipelines
🧩 Collaborate seamlessly across teams using source control
⚡ Unlock advanced productivity by combining DAX, Tabular Editor–style workflows, and modern dev tooling
This is a game-changer for data engineers and BI pros — bridging the gap between enterprise-scale modeling and developer agility.
