MCP
One MCP session, both toolsets
One session gives your product or agent every Microsoft Outlook Email and Microsoft Power BI tool at once — connect once, list tools, and call them like any single-app session.
// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// One list, both toolsets: Microsoft Outlook Email and Microsoft Power BI tools arrive

One user, two connected accounts
Your user connects each account once, under whatever ID they already have in your product. The two stay independent — either can be revoked on its own — and your code reaches both through that one user.

-
Add Label to Email
actionAdds a label/category to an email in Microsoft Outlook. See the documentationWritev0.0.27 -
Create Contact
actionAdd a contact to the root Contacts folder, See the documentationWritev0.0.34 -
Create Draft Email
actionCreate a draft email, See the documentationWritev0.0.35 -
Create Draft Reply
actionCreate a draft reply to an email. See the documentationWritev0.0.12 -
Download Attachment
actionDownload an email attachment to/tmp. Use Find Email to locate the message, then Get Message withincludeAttachments: trueto get themessageIdand attachmentidfields. Example: afterget-message(messageId="AAMk...", includeAttachments=true)returnsattachments: [{ id: "AQMk...", name: "report.pdf" }], calldownload-attachment(messageId="AAMk...", attachmentId="AQMk...", filename="report.pdf")→ writes to/tmp/report.pdf. SetconvertToPdf: trueto convert images, HTML, plain text, or DOCX files to PDF. For text attachments (text/*, JSON), the response includesfileContentwith the decoded text (truncated at 100 KB, flagged bycontentTruncated), so the content can be read directly without fetching the file. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.1.5 -
Find Contacts
actionSearch and list contacts in the authenticated user's Outlook contacts. Returns{ count, contacts }wherecountis the Graph-reported total contact count (@odata.count) andcontactsis the filtered result array. OmitsearchStringto return all contacts up tomaxResults. WhensearchStringis provided, filters contacts by displayName, givenName, surname, or email address (case-sensitive substring match). Important:maxResultsnow bounds how many contacts are fetched from Graph before filtering — contacts beyond that window will not be searched. Example:find-contacts(searchString="George Costanza", maxResults=200)→ scans the first 200 contacts and returns matches. Example:find-contacts(searchString="george@vandelay.com")→ matches by email address. Use the returned contactidwith Save Contact to update the contact. See the documentationRead-onlyv1.0.2 -
Find Email
actionFind (search, list, or count) email messages in a Microsoft Outlook mailbox via Microsoft Graph. By default a search or list request (countOnly= false) scans the WHOLE mailbox (all folders including Sent, Archive, etc.), matching what you see when searching in Outlook; a count-only request (countOnly= true) with no explicitfolderScopestays inbox-scoped and counts ALL inbox messages by default, not just unread ones — also setisReadtofalseto count only unread messages (matching Outlook's unread inbox badge). SetfolderScopeexplicitly to override this behavior for either mode. To search a shared mailbox, setuserId(the mailbox owner's UPN or ID); addsharedFolderIdto target a specific folder within it. See the documentationRead-onlyv1.1.1 -
Find Shared Folder Email
actionSearch for an email in a shared folder in Microsoft Outlook. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.19

Add Rows to Dataset Table
actionAdds new data rows to the specified table within the specified dataset from My workspace. See the documentationWritev0.0.6 -
Add Rows To Push Dataset
actionAppend rows to a table in a Power BI Push Dataset (streaming / realtime data). Only works for datasets created via the REST API withdefaultMode: Push— these datasets exposeaddRowsAPIEnabled: trueon the object returned by List Datasets. Use List Datasets first to resolve a dataset name →datasetIdand inspect itstablesfor the exacttableName(case-sensitive). PassworkspaceId(from List Workspaces) orworkspaceNameto target a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. Rows must match the table's column schema.rowsaccepts either a JSON array ([{...}, {...}]) or a JSON-stringified array. Each row is an object ofcolumnName → value. Common mistakes: (1) case mismatch ontableNamereturns 404 — copy the exact string from the dataset'stablesarray. (2) Sending values that don't match the declared column data type returnsRequestedResourceNotFoundorDMTS_DatasourceHasNoCredentialsError. Push-dataset rows have no individual IDs and cannot be updated or deleted — only appended or bulk-cleared. See the documentationWritev0.0.3 -
Cancel Dataset Refresh
actionCancels a refresh operation for a specified dataset in Power BI. See the documentationWritev0.0.5 -
Create Dataset
actionCreates a new Push Dataset in Power BI. See the documentationWritev0.0.4 -
Execute DAX Query
actionExecute a DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) query against a Power BI dataset (semantic model). This is the primary analytics tool — use it to answer questions about values, aggregates, or filtered rows in a dataset. Use List Datasets first to resolve a dataset name →datasetId. The query must be a single valid DAX expression starting withEVALUATE. Table discovery (standard datasets): For datasets published from Power BI Desktop, the RESTGET /datasets/{id}/tablesendpoint is scoped to push datasets only and will not list tables. UseEVALUATE INFO.TABLES()instead — it returns every table name in the semantic model. Typical agent flow: List Workspaces → List Datasets → Execute DAX Query (EVALUATE INFO.TABLES()) → Execute DAX Query (EVALUATE 'TableName'). Common patterns: • Discover all tables —EVALUATE INFO.TABLES()(use this before querying an unknown dataset) • List all rows of a table —EVALUATE 'Species'• Filter —EVALUATE FILTER('Species', 'Species'[dietType] = "Carnivore")• Top N by column —EVALUATE TOPN(5, 'Species', 'Species'[weightKg], DESC)• Aggregate single value —EVALUATE ROW("Total", SUMX('Species', 'Species'[weightKg]))• Peek at a table's columns —EVALUATE TOPN(0, 'Species')(returns an empty rowset with column names in the response). Limits: max 100,000 rows or 1,000,000 values per query, andDEFINE/multiple-statement queries are not supported via REST. The tenant must have 'Dataset Execute Queries REST API' enabled (admin setting) or the call returns 401/403. PassworkspaceId(from List Workspaces) orworkspaceNameto target a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.4 -
Export Report
actionExport a Power BI report to a file format such as PDF, PPTX, or PNG. Requires a report ID (use List Reports to find it) and defaults to PDF if no format is given. PassworkspaceId(from List Workspaces) orworkspaceNameto target a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. Supportedformatvalues depend on the report type: Power BI reports supportPDF,PPTX,PNG. Paginated reports additionally supportCSV,XLSX,DOCX,XML,MHTML. This API is Premium-only: requires the workspace to be backed by Premium capacity, Premium Per User, or Embedded capacity. On shared (free) capacity it returnsFixedCapacityLimitExceeded/ 403. The export is asynchronous — this tool starts the export, then polls until the job reachesSucceededorFailed(orpollTimeoutSecondselapses), then downloads the file and returns it as base64 along with the job metadata. PNG exports only work for single-page reports. For PPTX/PDF, passpages(array of page names, e.g.,["ReportSection", "ReportSection1"]) to limit the export. See the documentationWritev0.0.3 -
Get Dataset Refresh
actionTriggers a refresh operation for a specified Power BI dataset. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.3 -
Get Refresh History
actionGet the refresh history for a Power BI dataset. Use List Datasets first to resolve a dataset name →datasetId. PassworkspaceId(from List Workspaces) orworkspaceNameto scope to a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. Each entry includesrequestId,refreshType(OnDemand,Scheduled,ViaApi, etc.),startTime,endTime,status(Completed,Failed,Disabled,Cancelled,Unknown—Unknownmeans still in progress), andserviceExceptionJsonon failures. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.3
