mwmckee,
There are two options for you to connect to MRI in Power BI Desktop.
1. Directly connect to the underlying SQL Server database using SQL connector in Power BI Desktop.
2. Contact MRI support about how to use its API to receive data, then use Web connector in Power BI Desktop to connect to the API. There is also a discussion for your reference.

Hi Jake
Came across this thread and am wondering if you were successful in getting a solution to integrate MRI with Power BI? I am looking at doing the same thing but my access to the servers is so restricted i cannot even test much without getting error / restriction messages. Let me know if you have managed to get it done. I may need tips on what access i need to request.
