Question 1

What does the Power BI MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The Power BI integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes Power BI to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Business analytics, interactive reporting, data visualization, and enterprise BI automation. It lets agents call Power BI actions like List reports, Get report, List dashboards, and List datasets without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Power BI actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen Power BI MCP connector exposes 6 scoped actions including List reports, Get report, List dashboards, and List datasets. Each action is mapped to a specific Power BI OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to Power BI?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and Power BI. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to Power BI using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to Power BI controlled and audited?

Accepted Answer

Access to the Power BI integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call Power BI tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.
