Dude I’m literally working on that this week! I got Fabric setup over the weekend and I plan on doing a cross tool analysis all within Claude. So many possibilities out here

Sekou Tyler @sqlsekou.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

It’s pretty straightforward! Just setup a personal token and some basic json in the MCP settings. It’s pretty limited when compared to what you did with Fabric. Only read only operations right now but I expect it to go grow
