About XeroAPI/xero-mcp-server
Connects your AI assistant to Xero so you can ask what invoices are outstanding, check a contact's balance, or review recent bank transactions without opening Xero. It reads the same data your bookkeeper sees, invoices, contacts, and bank feeds, through plain-English requests. A practical way for any Xero user to get quick answers on the numbers between accounting sessions.
Best for
Business owners on Xero who want quick answers on invoices and cash position
Use cases
- Ask what invoices are still outstanding and from whom
- Check a customer or supplier's current balance
- Review recent bank transactions without logging into Xero
- Pull a quick snapshot of accounts before a meeting
