Summary

SemanticOps MCP addresses the challenge of programmatically interacting with Power BI models and performing advanced analytics via natural language. It targets Power BI users, developers, and researchers, enabling AI assistants like Claude, Copilot, and ChatGPT to read, modify, and query Power BI datasets through conversational interfaces, streamlining complex data operations.

How It Works

This project implements an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that runs locally, facilitating direct programmatic access to Power BI Desktop files. It translates natural language commands from AI assistants into operations on the Power BI model, allowing users to query data, create measures, manage relationships, and optimize performance without manual DAX or Power BI Desktop manipulation. This approach offers a novel, conversational layer for Power BI model management.

Quick Start & Requirements

Installation is designed to be straightforward, taking under 5 minutes.

• Primary Install: Not specified, but implies a server setup.
• Prerequisites: Windows 10/11 or macOS.
• Dependencies: Compatible with Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, Visual Studio Code, and any MCP-compatible client.
• Resources: Runs locally, processing data on the user's machine.
• Documentation: Links to full documentation, installation guides, examples, and FAQs are mentioned but not provided as URLs.

Highlighted Details

• Enables AI assistants (Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT) to interact with Power BI models programmatically.
• Supports reading model structure, running DAX queries, modifying semantic models, and performing advanced analytics via natural language.
• Operates as a local server, collecting zero telemetry and ensuring all data processing occurs on the user's machine for enhanced privacy.
