Can Claude connect to Microsoft Power BI?
Yes. Microsoft Power BI doesn't have an official Claude connector yet, but Helm connects it for you, securely and with only the access you approve.
What is Microsoft Power BI?
Microsoft Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence platform for building data models, reports and dashboards from sources such as Excel, SQL databases, Dynamics and accounting systems. It is used by organisations of all sizes, especially those already on Microsoft 365.

How it connects
There's no official Claude connector for Microsoft Power BI yet. Helm connects it using the method that suits your setup, whether that's a secure custom connector we build and host, or an AI agent that works inside Microsoft Power BI with your team's approval. We'll recommend the right one on a 30-minute call.
Looking after your Microsoft Power BI data
Power BI models can contain customer, payroll and financial data, so Helm keeps Claude to the workspaces and datasets each person already has permission to see.
- Only the access you approve.
