SaferSkills independently audited microsoft_fabric_mcp (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A Model Context Protocol server that provides read-only access to Microsoft Fabric resources. Query workspaces, examine table schemas, monitor jobs, and analyze dependencies using natural language.

To use the MCP (Module Context Protocol) with this toolkit, follow these steps:
Add to Cursor MCP settings:
"mcp_fabric": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["microsoft-fabric-mcp"]
}Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/Augustab/microsoft_fabric_mcp
cd microsoft_fabric_mcp
uv pip install -e .Add to Cursor MCP settings:
"mcp_fabric": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/Users/username/Documents/microsoft_fabric_mcp",
"run",
"fabric_mcp.py"
]
}Replace /Users/username/Documents/microsoft_fabric_mcp with your actual path.
💡 Note: Both methods run the MCP server locally on your machine. The UVX method just makes installation much easier!

On Windows, you can create a batch file to easily run the MCP command:
run_mcp.bat with the following content: @echo off
SET PATH=C:\Users\YourUsername\.local\bin;%PATH%
cd C:\path\to\your\microsoft_fabric_mcp\
C:\Users\YourUsername\.local\bin\uv.exe run fabric_mcp.pyExample with real paths:
@echo off
SET PATH=C:\Users\YourUsername\.local\bin;%PATH%
cd C:\Users\YourUsername\source\repos\microsoft_fabric_mcp\
C:\Users\YourUsername\.local\bin\uv.exe run fabric_mcp.py cmd /c C:\path\to\your\microsoft_fabric_mcp\run_mcp.batExample:
cmd /c C:\Users\YourUsername\source\repos\microsoft_fabric_mcp\run_mcp.batWhen activating the virtual environment using .venv\Scripts\activate on Windows, you might encounter permission issues. To resolve this, run the following command in PowerShell before activation:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope ProcessThis temporarily changes the execution policy for the current PowerShell session only, allowing scripts to run.
After setup, you can query your Fabric resources through your AI assistant:
Ask your AI assistant natural language questions:
Can you list my workspaces in Fabric?
Can you show me all the lakehouses in the "DWH-PROD" workspace?
Can you get the schema for the "sales" table in the "GK_Bronze" lakehouse?The AI will automatically select the appropriate MCP tool and display results:
<div align="center"> <img src="images/list_workspaces_example.png" alt="Example of listing Fabric workspaces" title="Example of listing workspaces in Fabric" width="450" /> </div>
For complex tasks, the AI can access multiple resources to generate accurate code:
Create a notebook that reads from the 'sales' table in Bronze lakehouse and upserts to 'sales_processed' in Silver lakehouse, considering both schemas.The AI will:
The AI will ask permission before running MCP tools. In Cursor, you can enable YOLO mode for automatic execution without prompts.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources and tools. This server implements MCP to provide AI assistants with direct access to your Microsoft Fabric resources.
