What you need to run Exagomatica.
What you need to run Exagomatica, and the questions we hear most from teams evaluating it. Exagomatica runs on Windows alongside Claude Desktop and answers questions about your Power BI data in plain English.
Which operating systems does Exagomatica support?
Windows 10 or Windows 11. Exagomatica installs as a Windows application, and its credential security relies on Windows DPAPI encryption, so the desktop client is Windows-only today. There is no macOS or Linux build.
What do I need in Claude Desktop?
Claude Desktop, on a Claude plan that supports MCP connectors. Exagomatica runs as a connector inside Claude Desktop, so your plan needs to be one that can add MCP connectors.
What kind of Power BI access do I need?
Access to a semantic model published to the Power BI Service, queryable through the REST executeQueries API. Plain Power BI Pro on shared capacity works, and so do Premium, PPU, and Fabric. No XMLA endpoint is required. For the full model and ETL knowledge base you need workspace Contributor or higher; a Viewer (even with Build permission) still works, with answers that fall back to schema-only, explained in plain English.
Do I need my IT team to approve anything?
Usually not. On the launch build, setup signs in through a Microsoft first-party, pre-consented app, so in standard Microsoft tenants you simply sign in with your Microsoft account. A tenant that turns off user consent or allow-lists specific apps may still need a one-time IT approval.
Is Azure DevOps required?
No. Azure DevOps is entirely optional. It adds a change-tracking layer, the change history behind your numbers, on top of the lineage Exagomatica already reads from Power BI, and a Power BI-only install works end to end without it. If you do connect it, you can use the same Microsoft sign-in (no personal access token needed) or a personal access token with Code (Read) scope, plus access to the organization and project.
Can Exagomatica search my SharePoint documents?
Yes, your SharePoint documents are searchable through Anthropic’s official Microsoft 365 connector, not a connector built into Exagomatica. You enable it in Claude Desktop under Settings > Connectors > Microsoft 365, and there is nothing to configure inside Exagomatica itself.
