What is the RDL MCP Server?

Edit SSRS reports using AI - simple tools to read and modify RDL files

  • get_rdl_datasets - View datasets, fields, and stored procedures (supports field limiting and filtering)
  • get_rdl_parameters - List all report parameters
  • get_rdl_columns - See column headers, widths, and bindings
  • update_column_header / update_column_width - Change columns
  • add_column / remove_column - Add or remove columns
