Xero + ChatGPT
ChatGPT can query Xero contacts and invoices via MCP
Have ChatGPT request outstanding invoices for a contact, invoiced totals by Tracking Category, or unpaid supplier bills, and Kipper answers from your live Xero records.
Kipper's MCP server lets ChatGPT query the Xero records Kipper supports: contacts, invoices, payments, bills, purchase orders, inventory, credit notes, and supplier credits, refreshed through Xero change notifications. ChatGPT runs the conversation and calls Kipper as its read-only Xero tool.
Outstanding invoices for contact Harbor & Pine?
2 outstanding invoices for Harbor & Pine
Invoiced totals for Tracking Category: Events this quarter?
Events category: £18,650 invoiced this quarter across 12 invoices.
ChatGPT can fetch Xero contact invoices, Tracking Category totals, and supplier bills over MCP through Kipper. Bank transactions are not part of what Kipper reads, so cash position is out of reach. Whoever is asking needs ChatGPT rather than a Xero login.
