Set up

Add Power BI to OpenCode in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in OpenCode then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 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. 2

    Connect OpenCode to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to OpenCode by hand using Runlayer’s generic MCP steps. OpenCode reaches Power BI’s 4 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Use Power BI from OpenCode

    Power BI’s approved tools appear in OpenCode. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

4 Power BI tools in OpenCode

Runlayer policy decides which of these OpenCode users can call.

  • Execute query

    Executes a DAX query and return the results.

  • Generate query

    Generates a DAX query using the relevant parts of the model schema.

  • Get report metadata

    Retrieves the high-level schema of a Power BI report, including workspace information, semantic model details, pages, visual information, and filters.

  • Get semantic model schema

    Retrieves comprehensive metadata for a specified semantic model, including the serialized schema, custom instructions provided by the model author, and verified answers when available.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in OpenCode

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what OpenCode exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Power BI call from OpenCode passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, OpenCode as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for OpenCode yet, so control happens at the gateway.
