Xero + Claude

Give Claude read-only access to your Xero records

Fetch credit notes for a contact, open purchase orders for a supplier, or invoice payment status, all pulled into your Claude project from live Xero records.

Kipper MCP lets Claude query the Xero records Kipper supports: contacts, invoices, payments, bills, purchase orders, inventory, credit notes, and supplier credits, kept updated by change notifications. Claude works the returned value into whatever you are drafting in the project.

Through Kipper's MCP server, Claude can look up Xero credit notes, open supplier purchase orders, and invoice payment status. Bank feeds are not something Kipper reads, so cash figures are unavailable. The person in Claude needs no Xero login.

Contacts, invoices, payments, bills, purchase orders, inventory, credit notes, and supplier credits. Tracking Categories group invoices.
