mcp-paginated

MCP server for Power BI paginated reports (.rdl): validate offline → publish → render → diagnose.

Tool

What it does

validate_rdl

RDL 2016 XSD + Report Builder RdlSerializer, plus checks both miss: tablix grid integrity, detail-member nesting (rsInvalidDetailDataGrouping), query-parameter binding, references. Printable width is a warning (Excel-only reports are wide on purpose).

list_workspaces, list_paginated_reports

Discovery (name or GUID accepted everywhere).

get_report_datasources

Service-side bindings. Never shows credential type / SSO — nothing in the API does.

download_rdl

Pull the deployed .rdl (diff before you overwrite).

publish_rdl

Imports API. Validates first and refuses on errors. Existing name → nameConflict=Overwrite (keeps the report id); new name → Abort. Gated by writable.

export_report

ExportTo → poll → download. PDF/MHTML/XLSX/DOCX/PPTX/CSV/XML/PNG; parameters (lists = multi-value); first_page_only.

diagnose_report

Bindings + page-1 PDF probe, mapped to the known failure modes (SSO, missing Build, name-based XMLA connect string, unbound @Var, redacted DAX object).

Setup

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\pip install -r requirements.txt
copy config.example.json config.json
claude mcp add -s user paginated -- <abs>\.venv\Scripts\python.exe <abs>\server.py

Requires Power BI Report Builder for the XSD/object-model half of validate_rdl (report_builder_dll).

Auth

Broker/WAM, Power BI scope. cache_name + auth_record_path point at mcp-fabric's persisted sign-in, so it runs silently as the same identity (PowerBI.Enterprise). To use its own sign-in, remove those two keys. The first sign-in then needs an interactive session, because the WAM picker can't render in a headless shell.

Renders run the report's queries as that identity; they change nothing, but they do hit the source. Credentials (OAuth2 / SSO off) are deliberately not settable here. Use the Service UI, because the REST PATCH stores a bare token that expires in about 1 hour.

This server cannot be deployed

Shareable, User-Owned Context BackendPeople, applications, and agents read, write, and coordinate together in one context lake. Reach it over MCP, a CLI, a Python SDK, or REST.fulcradynamics.comAd
