Read Your Xero Books Through Your Muse

Through an AnythingMCP custom connector, your muse can read your Xero books in plain words: which invoices are still unpaid, which bills fall due soon, and how profit compares with earlier periods.

What it does

The connector adds 10 tools, and every one of them only reads. It can list sales invoices and supplier bills together, with totals, status, and line items, in pages of up to 100, and open one in full with its payment details. It can list customer and supplier contacts, open one contact with its addresses and outstanding balance, and read the chart of accounts in one piece. Two reports come straight from Xero: the Trial Balance at a date you pick, and the Profit and Loss for a date range, on an accrual or cash basis, your pick. The Profit and Loss can compare 1 to 12 periods, by month, quarter, or year.

How to use it

1. Start an AnythingMCP account and add the Xero connector.
2. At the Xero developer site, create a Web app, enter the callback address the connector shows you exactly as written, and copy its client ID and secret into the connector.
3. Install the connector, click Authorize with Provider, sign in to Xero, and connect the organization the muse should read.
4. Ask the muse to check the organization name before it reads any figures.
5. In Muse, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector with the address AnythingMCP gives you. Sign in and approve.
6. Start with a simple read, such as which sales invoices are still unpaid, and check the answer against Xero.

What you need

• A Muse account that can add custom connectors
• An AnythingMCP account with the Xero connector added
• A Xero organization and your own Xero developer app, with its client ID and secret
• A Xero sign-in that can see reports

What to watch for

• The connector cannot create, change, or delete anything in Xero, and it does not read bank transactions, the Balance Sheet, payroll, or attachments.
• One connector reads one organization. A second organization needs the connector installed again.
• A sign-in left unused for 60 days expires. Clicking Authorize with Provider again restores it.
• If this same Xero app was approved with write access before, the old wider access can stay in place. Revoke the old connection in Xero and approve again to keep the setup read-only.
• This is a custom connector, and Meta does not review custom connectors. You can disconnect it in Settings at any time. The muse prepares, you decide.
