Xero MCP Server

This MCP server allows Clients to interact with Xero Accounting Software.

Get Started

Make sure node is installed.
Create an OAuth 2.0 app in Xero to get a CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET.
- Create a free Xero user account (if you don't have one)
- Login to Xero Developer center https://developer.xero.com/app/manage/
- Click New app
- Enter a name for your app
- Select Web app
- Provide a valid URL (can be anything valid eg. https://www.myapp.com)
- Enter redirect URI: http://localhost:5000/callback
  
  Note: The redirect URI can be customized, but it must use localhost and include both an explicit port and a path (e.g. http://localhost:5050/my-path). Set the same value as XERO_REDIRECT_URI in your MCP client config below.
- Tick to Accept the Terms & Conditions and click Create app
- On the left-hand side of the screen select Configuration
- Click Generate a secret

Configure your MCP client:

Claude Desktop

Go to Settings -> Developers -> Local MCP Servers -> Edit Config and add the following to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xero-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "xero-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "XERO_CLIENT_ID": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
        "XERO_CLIENT_SECRET": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
        "XERO_REDIRECT_URI": "http://localhost:5000/callback"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, or reload via Developer -> Reload MCP Configuration.

Claude Code

Run the following command to add the MCP server:

claude mcp add xero-mcp \
  -e XERO_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
  -e XERO_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
  -e XERO_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:5000/callback \
  -- npx -y xero-mcp@latest

The server will be available in your next Claude Code session. To make it available across all projects, add --scope user to the command above.

When accessing a Xero tool for the first time, a Xero login page will pop up to ask your consent. Complete the auth flow and manually close the web page (as the Xero page will not auto close in this version)

Privacy alert: after completing the Xero OAuth2 flow, your Xero data may go through the LLM that you use. If you are doing testing you should authorize to your Xero Demo Company.
