What it does
The Fabric Local MCP Server is an open-source, development-focused Model Context Protocol server that runs as a local subprocess. It gives AI agents offline access to Fabric API documentation and best practices, OneLake file operations (browse, read, write, and manage directories; query table schemas), and core Fabric item creation integrated with the local file system. It is part of Microsoft’s MIT-licensed microsoft/mcp monorepo and is distributed on npm as @microsoft/fabric-mcp.
Why use it
Use the local server for pro-dev workflows where an agent needs grounded Fabric API knowledge and direct OneLake access on your machine. It complements the hosted Core MCP server, which handles full item CRUD, permissions, and folder management.
Getting started
The recommended path is the “Fabric MCP Server” VS Code extension with GitHub Copilot Chat. Alternatively, with Node.js 20 LTS or later:
npx -y @microsoft/fabric-mcp@latest server start --mode allRun az login first for OneLake operations.
