Question 1

What does the Xero MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The Xero integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes Xero to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Accounting automation, financial reporting, invoice management, and small business finance workflows. It lets agents call Xero actions like List contacts, Create contact, List invoices, and Create invoice without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Xero actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen Xero MCP connector exposes 7 scoped actions including List contacts, Create contact, List invoices, and Create invoice. Each action is mapped to a specific Xero OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to Xero?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and Xero. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to Xero using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to Xero controlled and audited?

Accepted Answer

Access to the Xero integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call Xero tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.
