Runs with `npx -y @xeroapi/xero-mcp-server@latest` (Node 18+). Authenticate with a Xero Custom Connection (client ID and secret for one organisation) or a bearer token (XERO_CLIENT_BEARER_TOKEN takes precedence). Custom connections created from Apr 29, 2026 need the newer granular scopes; the server falls back automatically. Payroll queries need an NZ or UK organisation. Xero recommends starting with the Demo Company. MIT.
