How do I install Xero?

Copy the http config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Xero need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: PIPEWORX_API_KEY.

PIPEWORX_API_KEY — Optional Pipeworx API key. Without it calls are anonymous and capped daily; a free key raises the cap.

Xero (Accounting) MCP Pack

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1684+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`list_organisations`	List the Xero organisations (tenants) the connected account can access, with tenant id, name, and type. Xero accounting is multi-tenant — use this first to discover the tenant_id for a specific organisation, then pass it to the other accounting tools to target that org.
`list_invoices`	List invoices and bills from a Xero accounting organisation. Returns compact invoice summaries (number, type, status, contact, dates, total, amount due, currency) for bookkeeping, accounts-receivable, and accounts-payable review. Supports Xero filter expressions and pagination.
`list_contacts`	List contacts (customers and suppliers) from a Xero accounting organisation. Returns name, email, status, and customer/supplier flags. Use for accounting, bookkeeping, and accounts-receivable/payable workflows. Supports Xero filter expressions and pagination.
`get_profit_and_loss`	Get the Profit and Loss (income statement) financial report from a Xero accounting organisation for an optional date range. Returns the structured Xero report (report name, date, and row sections covering revenue, expenses, and net profit). Use for financial reporting and bookkeeping analysis.
`list_accounts`	List the chart of accounts from a Xero accounting organisation. Returns each account's code, name, type, class, and status. Use to understand an organisation's general ledger structure for bookkeeping and financial reporting.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xero": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/xero/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/xero/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1684+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack runs against a connected xero account, so it needs a Pipeworx key: sign in at https://pipeworx.io/account, connect xero, then call POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/list_organisations with Authorization: Bearer <your Pipeworx key>. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/list_organisations. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xero": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-xero"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-xero

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Xero data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
