Kiro - Powerbi MCP server setup

Download the Power BI MCP Server extension VISX to your machine from: https://analysis-services.gallery.vsassets.io/_apis/public/gallery/publisher/analysis-services/extension/powerbi-modeling-mcp/latest/assetbyname/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.VSIXPackage (this is the VISX for: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=analysis-services.powerbi-modeling-mcp)

Once you have downloaded and extracted the files to a local folder (below example uses "C:\Tools\kiro\"), you can update the mcp.json with the following

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "powerbi-modeling-mcp": {
      "command": "C:\\Tools\\kiro\\extension\\server\\powerbi-modeling-mcp.exe",
      "args": [
        "--start",
        "--skipconfirmation"
      ],
      "type": "stdio",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

The manual steps to do this are also documented here: https://github.com/microsoft/powerbi-modeling-mcp?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-install. Skip the first section that uses Node.js and use the steps documented in Manual Download
