Connect Power BI to Lovable
Give Lovable governed access to Power BI’s 4 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Power BI to Lovable in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Lovable then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Add Power BI to Runlayer
Power BI isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.
Adding a connector manually - 2
Connect Lovable to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Lovable by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Lovable reaches Power BI’s 4 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Sign in to Power BI
Sign in the way Power BI requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Lovable
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Lovable exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Power BI call from Lovable passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Lovable as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Managed browser extension (available)
Managed Chrome, Edge, and Firefox deployments can monitor supported web-chat activity and apply prompt-time controls where the surface permits it.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Lovable yet, so control happens at the gateway.
