Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "microsoft-fabric": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@microsoft/fabric-mcp",
        "server",
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add microsoft-fabric -- npx -y @microsoft/fabric-mcp server start

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "microsoft-fabric": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@microsoft/fabric-mcp",
        "server",
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "microsoft-fabric": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@microsoft/fabric-mcp",
        "server",

      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Microsoft Fabric MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.4.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need .NET, Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Microsoft Fabric MCP Server

A local-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI agents with comprehensive access to Microsoft Fabric's public APIs, item definitions, and best practices. Documentation tools use bundled specifications without connecting to live Fabric environments; operational tools call Fabric APIs using the configured identity.

Overview

Microsoft Fabric MCP Server gives your AI agents the knowledge they need to generate robust, production-ready code for Microsoft Fabric, alongside authenticated tools for working with Fabric resources.

Key capabilities:

Complete API Context: Full OpenAPI specifications for all supported Fabric item types
Item Definition Knowledge: JSON schemas for every Fabric item type (Lakehouses, pipelines, semantic models, notebooks, etc.)
Built-in Best Practices: Embedded guidance on pagination, error handling, and recommended patterns
Local-First Documentation: Documentation tools read bundled resources locally; operational tools access Fabric under the configured identity
Workspace Metadata Updates: Rename a known workspace or update or clear its description without changing other properties
Data Factory Integration: Pipeline and Dataflow Gen2 management with M query execution

Installation

The manual configuration examples use mcpServers as the root object. In Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, use servers instead.

When using the VS Code extension, fabricMcp.enabledServices selects from core, jobs, docs, onelake, and datafactory. Leave the list empty to enable all toolsets. Select both core and jobs for workflows combining item or definition operations with job submission, cancellation, instance listing/lookup, or schedule listing/creation/updates; selecting only core does not expose Jobs. If an existing setting contains publicapis, replace it with docs or clear the list; saved settings are not migrated automatically.

IDE

Start using Fabric MCP with your favorite IDE. We recommend VS Code:

VS Code (Recommended)

Compatible with both the Stable and Insiders builds of VS Code.

Install the GitHub Copilot Chat extension.
Install the Fabric MCP Server extension.

Manual Setup

Fabric MCP Server can also be configured across other IDEs, CLIs, and MCP clients:

Manual setup instructions

Use one of the following options to configure your mcp.json:

Option 1: Configure using the .NET tool (NuGet)

Install the .NET 10 SDK or later. Verify it with dotnet --version.
Install the published Microsoft.Fabric.Mcp tool:

powershell dotnet tool install --global Microsoft.Fabric.Mcp --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

Ensure the .NET global tools directory is on the PATH available to your MCP client, then configure mcp.json:

json { "mcpServers": { "Fabric MCP Server": { "command": "fabmcp", "args": [ "server", "start", "--mode", "all" ], "type": "stdio" } } }

Alternatively, .NET 10 supports running the published package on demand with dnx, without a permanent tool installation:

dnx Microsoft.Fabric.Mcp --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -- server start --mode all

Both commands use the latest published stable package unless you specify a version. To pin a released version, use --version with dotnet tool install, or Microsoft.Fabric.Mcp@ with dnx.

Option 2: Configure using Node.js (npm/npx)

Install a supported Node.js LTS version 22.0.0 or later, with npm and npx available on your system PATH. Verify your installation with node --version, npm --version, and npx --version.
Configure the mcp.json file with the following:

json { "mcpServers": { "fabric-mcp-server": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@microsoft/fabric-mcp@latest", "server", "start", "--mode", "all" ] } } }

Build from source (contributors)

Building the repository is a separate development workflow, not required to use the published packages:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/mcp.git

cd mcp dotnet build servers/Fabric.Mcp.Server/src/Fabric.Mcp.Server.csproj --configuration Release

Use the built servers/Fabric.Mcp.Server/src/bin/Release/fabmcp executable as your MCP client's command, with ["server", "start", "--mode", "all"] as its arguments. On Windows, use backslashes and the .exe extension.
