Overview
Xero MCP Server enables clients and applications to interact with Xero Accounting Software through a dedicated MCP interface. It provides OAuth2-based authentication to connect to Xero and exposes a practical set of tools to read and manipulate core Xero data, including bank transactions, contacts, invoices, journals, accounts, payments, and organizational details. The server is configured via Claude Desktop by editing claude_desktop_config.json, where each MCP entry specifies the command, arguments, and environment variables (XERO_CLIENT_ID, XERO_CLIENT_SECRET, XERO_REDIRECT_URI). Available tools include authenticate, create_bank_transactions, create_contacts, get_balance_sheet, list_accounts, list_bank_transactions, list_contacts, list_invoices, list_journals, list_organisations, list_payments, and list_quotes. To begin, you create a Xero OAuth2 app and supply the client credentials; on first use, a Xero login page prompts for consent. Privacy alert: after completing the OAuth2 flow, Xero data may pass through the LLM you use; for testing you should authorize the Xero Demo Company. This MCP server is MIT licensed and designed for quick setup and iterative experimentation.
