How to integrate Xero MCP with OpenClaw
OpenClaw is the fastest growing agent harness out there, which can work 24/7 to automate almost any kind of tasks. However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Xero with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Xero via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer.
Xero is cloud-based accounting software for small businesses, offering invoicing, bookkeeping, and real-time financial reports. It helps you manage business finances efficiently from anywhere.
Introduction

Why use Composio?
Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:
- Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.
How to install Xero with OpenClaw
Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt
- Go to dashboard.composio.dev
- Copy the setup prompt
- Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface.
- Authenticate Xero from the dashboard
- Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions.
Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin
1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin
openclaw plugins install @composio/openclaw-plugin2. Copy the API Key from dashboard.composio.dev
3. Setup OpenClaw Config

openclaw gateway restart5. Go to your chat interface and start asking questions.
6. When prompted, authenticate the app and you're all set.
How It Works
The plugin connects to Composio's MCP server at https://connect.composio.dev/mcp and registers all available tools directly into the OpenClaw agent. Tools are called by name — no extra search or execute steps needed.
If a tool returns an auth error, the agent will prompt you to connect that toolkit at dashboard.composio.dev.

What is the Xero MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Xero MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Xero account. It provides structured and secure access to your accounting data, so your agent can retrieve contacts, manage connections, update invoices, and monitor quotes automatically on your behalf.
- Connection management: Instantly list all active Xero tenant connections linked to your account, making it easy for your agent to select and operate on the right organization.
- Contact retrieval and lookup: Fetch detailed, up-to-date lists of business contacts including filtering, paging, and incremental updates to keep your records synchronized and actionable.
- Quote management and tracking: Retrieve, filter, or search through your sales quotes so your agent can help you stay on top of prospective business and follow up faster.
- Invoice updating and automation: Modify details of existing invoices—such as amounts, due dates, and line items—allowing your agent to keep your invoicing accurate and up to date without manual edits.

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar — it shows the commitment you need when users rely on your software.
A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.
We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.
As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.
Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
With hands-on help from their founder, we integrated Gmail and Google Drive in just 30 minutes. This level of personal support and commitment is exactly what startups should strive for.
