Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 286 stars · 81 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-verified entrypoint: pip install pbi-cli-tool.

Main

  • Use the two-layer approach described in README: connect to Power BI Desktop for semantic-model operations, and operate on PBIR JSON directly for report-layer changes.

  • Treat skills install as the key step: it registers the skill bundle so Claude Code can discover capabilities without you memorizing commands.

  • If PATH issues happen on Windows, prefer pipx (README explains why pip installs often land outside PATH).

Source-backed notes

  • README Get Started flow is three commands: pipx install pbi-cli-tool, pbi-cli skills install, pbi connect.
  • README states it requires Windows with Python 3.10+ and Power BI Desktop running for the semantic-model layer.
  • README says Claude Code discovers 13 Power BI skills after installation.

FAQ

  • Is this an MCP server?: No — README explicitly says ‘No MCP server’ and uses in-process interop for desktop model operations.
  • Do reports require Desktop running?: README says report-layer work can operate on PBIR files without a connection.
  • Why pipx?: README recommends pipx because it handles PATH automatically on Windows.
