What it does
Xero's open-source MCP server, published by its developer team as the npm package @xeroapi/xero-mcp-server and run locally through npx. It gives an AI client around forty tools for a Xero organisation: listing accounts, contacts, invoices, quotes, payments, items, credit notes, manual journals, tax rates and reports such as profit and loss, and creating or updating contacts, invoices, quotes, payments, bank transactions, items, journals and tracking categories, plus payroll timesheets for UK and NZ organisations. It signs in either with a Xero Custom Connection's client ID and secret, suggested for clients like Claude Desktop, or with a bearer token obtained by the client. Node 18 or later is needed.
