Microsoft Fabric IQ MCP server
Through Flowplane an AI assistant uses Microsoft Fabric IQ, Microsoft’s read-only MCP server for Power BI. It finds a report or semantic model by name, reads the report’s metadata and the model’s schema, and runs DAX queries against one model at a time, then explains the result. It changes nothing in Power BI, and it does not cover dashboards, paginated reports, Power BI apps, data agents or ontologies.

What your assistant can do in Microsoft Fabric IQ
Flowplane passes Microsoft Fabric IQ’s own MCP server through, so the tools are the ones Microsoft Fabric IQ offers when you connect. By default reads are allowed and anything that changes something waits for the person’s approval; your workspace’s rules decide.
Looking things up runs straight away, within what the account you connected may see.
Creating, changing or deleting waits for your approval in the browser, unless your workspace’s rules say otherwise.
Sign-in
Each person signs in with their own Microsoft work or school account, and the assistant sees only the reports, models and data that person can open; row-level and object-level security still apply. Flowplane asks only for the two read permissions Fabric IQ needs. Your organisation may require a Microsoft administrator to approve Flowplane once. Flowplane keeps the login sealed; the assistant never sees it.
In Flowplane: In the Flowplane console, add Microsoft Fabric IQ and sign in with Microsoft. There is nothing to fill in.
Microsoft Fabric IQ and MCP
Microsoft runs Fabric IQ as an official, generally available remote MCP server. Flowplane passes it through as it is, so there is no app registration or client configuration to set up yourself.

Questions
- Fabric IQ or the Power BI connector?
- Fabric IQ, when your organisation has it. Microsoft recommends it for semantic models and reports; the Power BI connector uses Microsoft’s earlier preview endpoint and needs a tenant setting.
- Where is Fabric IQ available?
- Microsoft offers it to tenants whose home region supports all Fabric workloads, not in Power BI-only regions or sovereign clouds. The reports and models do not need Fabric or Premium capacity. Elsewhere, Flowplane says it is not available yet.
- How current are the answers?
- As current as the semantic model’s latest successful refresh: the queries read the model, not the source systems behind it.
- Which AI assistants can use Microsoft Fabric IQ through Flowplane?
- Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach Microsoft Fabric IQ through the same Flowplane address.
- What does it cost?
- Free for one person, with up to three apps and five assistants. Personal Pro is €9 a month including VAT; companies start at €99 a month for ten active users. Prices are indicative; see the pricing page.
