- 05Asynchronous operations
Use cases
- 01Connect a GenAI application to Xero
- 02Handle Xero API requests with retries
MCP support
Exposes Xero API integration to MCP clients, allowing GenAI applications to connect with Xero.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
