SSAS MCP Server
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSAS_SERVER | Yes | Host, host\instance, or an http(s)://.../msmdpump.dll URL | |
| SSAS_CATALOG | Yes | SSAS database name | |
| SSAS_ROW_LIMIT | No | Hard cap on returned rows | 10000 |
| SSAS_DEFAULT_CUBE | No | Cube/model list_metadata uses when none is given | |
| SSAS_ADOMD_DLL_DIR | No | Folder containing Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.dll (auto-detected if not set) | |
| SSAS_QUERY_TIMEOUT | No | Per-query timeout, seconds | 60 |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_metadataA | List the queryable metadata of an SSAS cube or tabular model. Returns the exact bracketed unique names to use in MDX/DAX - call this before writing queries so names aren't guessed. Without a dimension, the overview lists measures (with measure group and display folder), dimension names, and multi-level user hierarchies. Pass a dimension to drill into that dimension's full set of attribute hierarchies and levels. Args: cube_name: Cube (multidimensional) or model (tabular, usually 'Model') to describe. If omitted, uses the SSAS_DEFAULT_CUBE environment variable; if that is unset too, returns the list of available cubes/models so one can be chosen. dimension: Optional dimension unique name (e.g. '[Dim Event]') to list every hierarchy and level in that dimension. |
| execute_queryA | Execute a read-only MDX or DAX query against the SSAS database. Use MDX (SELECT ... FROM [Cube]) for multidimensional cubes and DAX (EVALUATE ...) for tabular models. Results are returned as a JSON table {columns, rows, row_count, truncated}. Rows are capped (default 10000, or SSAS_ROW_LIMIT) and 'truncated' is true when the cap was hit. Only SELECT/WITH (MDX) and EVALUATE/DEFINE (DAX) statements are accepted - anything else is rejected. Args: query: The MDX or DAX query text. max_rows: Optional per-call row cap (0 = use the server default). |
| execute_dmvA | Execute a Dynamic Management View query for deeper metadata introspection. Only Args: query: The DMV SELECT query. max_rows: Optional per-call row cap (0 = use the server default). |

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool serves a distinct purpose: execute_dmv for DMV system queries, execute_query for MDX/DAX against the cube/model, and list_metadata for exploring metadata structure. No functional overlap.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern: execute_dmv, execute_query, list_metadata. The naming is predictable and unambiguous.
Three tools cover the essential read-only query and metadata exploration workflow for SSAS, with no extraneous or missing operations. The count is well-scoped for the domain.
The tool set provides complete coverage for the stated purpose: listing metadata to discover names, executing queries via MDX/DAX or DMV, and handling cube/model selection. No obvious gaps.
