Who made this and why?
Xero Connector by Meridian was made by Pilot, the accounting and software company behind the Meridian accounting platform at meridian.pilot.com. We wanted a straightforward way for accountants to use Xero with the agents they already work in. It was useful to us, so we decided to share it.
What does this cost?
Nothing. Xero Connector by Meridian is free to use.
Can I connect a Xero organization in a read-only way?
Yes. Choose read-only or read-write access separately for each organization when you connect it. Reconnect an organization to change its access level later.
Is it secure?
Pilot.com has handled sensitive accounting and tax data for thousands of businesses since 2017. Xero Connector by Meridian uses Xero’s authorization flow, encrypts stored Xero credentials, never shares those credentials with your agent, and lets you disconnect an organization at any time.
Do you store or look at accounting data?
We do not keep a copy of your books, look at your accounting data, or log Xero records. The connector processes Xero data only to answer your requests or perform changes you request, then sends the result to your AI service or Xero organization and does not retain the data.
Why not use Xero’s official Claude integration?
Xero’s official connector for Claude is useful for read-only financial questions and summaries, but it can only view or retrieve data, it can’t make changes in Xero, and it can connect to only one Xero organization at a time.
Xero Connector by Meridian supports a broader set of API-backed reads and writes, including invoices, contacts, bank transactions, and manual journals, and lets the same agent work across multiple Xero organizations.
Why not use Xero’s official MCP server?
For folks who aren’t afraid of developer tooling and are comfortable self-hosting, you should at least consider it. The two big advantages of this server versus the official MCP server are: (1) it’s hosted, so you don’t need to deal with installing it, upgrading it, or maintaining it, and (2) it allows you to connect to multiple Xero organizations from the same instance of the server.
Can multiple people at my firm use this for the same clients?
Today, only one user can access a given client organization; shared access to the same client is not supported yet. If your firm needs shared access, email xero-mcp@pilot.com and we’ll be in touch.
Have a feature request or suggestion?
We’d love to hear it. Email xero-mcp@pilot.com and tell us what would make Xero Connector by Meridian more useful to you.
