### Description (declared)

# powerbi-report-mcp

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for reading and editing the
**report/visual layer of Power BI PBIP projects** — pages, visuals, field
bindings, formatting, and themes — directly on disk, so AI assistants can
build and restyle reports alongside you.

It pairs with Microsoft's official
[powerbi-modeling-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@microsoft/powerbi-modeling-mcp)
(semantic model: tables, measures, relationships); this server deliberately
never touches the semantic model.

## Features

- **37 tools** covering connections, pages, visuals, field wells, format
  patching, themes, report settings, and style profiles.
- **Implicit active report** — `connection_name` is optional on every tool;
  the most recently opened/used report is the default target.
- **Git-style undo** — every edit is snapshotted per connection; `undo()`
  rolls back one step at a time (no redo), and `list_history()` shows the
  undo stack.
- **Atomic writes** — files are written via temp-file rename so Power BI
  Desktop never sees a half-written JSON file.
- **Schema-validated models** — Pydantic models mirror Microsoft's published
  PBIP JSON schemas, with a discriminated union per visual family.
- **Style profiles** — capture fonts, colours, borders, and canvas size in a
  reusable JSON profile and distil it into a report, page, or single visual
  with `apply_style`; only the parts relevant to the scope are applied.
- **Extension visual types** — register custom/AppSource visuals at runtime
  with the `register_visual_extension` tool; usable immediately, no restart.
- **stdio and HTTP transports** — spawned per client (stdio, default) or one
  instance serving many clients via `--transport http`, with each client in
  its own isolated session.

## Quick start

Requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (Python 3.12+ is fetched
automatically). Two officially supported ways to run it:

**Usage — PyPI, stdio** (recommended for normal use):

```json
