ACCOUNTING

Accounting & Finance

Every invoice, transaction, and financial report your team manages lives in Xero. Xero MCP gives your agent authenticated access to accounting data scoped to the user who authorized it.

  • Acts as the user: Access and write actions stay tied to the Xero account that authorized the agent.
  • Credentials stay vaulted: AES-256, resolved at request time, never in LLM context.
  • Scoped before every call: Permissions enforced. 90-day audit trail.

SEE HOW AUTH WORKS
Users authorize Xero once. Their credentials stay vaulted, every call is checked, and every action is logged.
1
Authorize
Your user connects
Xero
once. We tie it to their identity and the meetings they approved — no shared bot account, no org-wide access
Who:
user ‘A’
when:
Once per user
access:
Limited to user
2
Store
Their
Xero
token lives in a vault scoped to them. User A's meetings are never reachable by an agent acting for user B, even on the same connection
vault:
encrypted
scope:
per-user
tokens:
auto-refreshed
3
Resolve
When your agent calls a
Xero
tool, we fetch the right token server-side. It never touches your agent, never appears in the LLM context, never shows up in your logs
speed:
~40ms
check:
before every call
seen by:
nobody
4
Audit
Every
Xero
tool call is logged — who triggered it, which meeting was fetched, what came back. 90 days of history, tied to the user who authorized it
history:
90 days
export:
SIEM-ready
logged:
every call
Test other agents
Same per-user auth pattern across other finance agents and MCP connectors. Working code, live demos, fork what fits.
GTM and RevOps Teams
Revenue forecast commentary
Pulls open pipeline from Salesforce and HubSpot, calculates coverage against quota, flags at-risk stages, posts commentary to Slack, and logs every snapshot to Google Sheets.
GTM and RevOps Teams
Deal room sync
Pulls opportunity context from Salesforce, captures key decisions from Slack, and syncs a running summary to the deal room doc in Google Drive, but only when the deal actually changed.
People Ops and HR teams
Offer letter routing agent
Drafts the offer in PandaDoc, blocks on the hiring manager's approval in Slack, then emails the candidate their e-signature link. Every call runs as the recruiter who triggered it, never a shared HR bot.
GTM and RevOps Teams
CRM AI agent
Reads the Granola transcript after every call, extracts next steps and updates the HubSpot record, drafts the follow-up in Gmail, and confirms in Slack, all on the rep's own delegated OAuth.

Why Scalekit
Secure your agent's access. Connectors ship in minutes
01.
Shared tokens break per-user analytics
A shared token looks fine in a demo. In production every call looks like a service account. Scalekit resolves the real user credential so attribution, audit, and scope stay accurate.
// shared token
 audit → bot_service_account
 user_filter → broken

 // scalekit
 audit → user_abc
 scope → enforced ✓
02.
Authentication is not authorization
03.
Multi-tenancy is architectural
04.
Xero today. Others tomorrow.
“Our agents act across Salesforce, Gong, Google Drive, and more, on behalf of every customer. Scalekit behind the scenes meant we can keep adding tools without ever rebuilding how credentials or tool calling work.”

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the agent access Xero as the user or as a shared key?
As the user. Each workspace member authorizes once and Scalekit resolves their credential at request time. Audit logs attribute every action to that user, not a shared service account.
Where is the Xero OAuth token stored?
In Scalekit's managed AES-256 token vault, namespaced per tenant. Refresh is automatic. Revocation is a single dashboard action. Tokens never appear in prompts, logs, or LLM context.
Can I limit what the agent is allowed to do in Xero?
Yes. Pass a tool name filter to listScopedTools so the finance agent only sees the subset you authorize. Pre-API-call scope checks block out-of-policy actions before the request reaches Xero.
What happens when a user revokes Xero access?
The connection is invalidated on the next tool call. Subsequent requests for that user fail closed with a clear error. Other users in the tenant remain unaffected. The event is logged for audit.
Can the agent access multiple Xero organisations under one connection?
No. Each Xero OAuth connection maps to a single organisation. Multi-org access requires a separate connected account per org. The agent cannot switch org context within one connection.
What other MCP connectors does Scalekit support?
Scalekit runs the Dynamo Software MCP server, Gusto MCP server, and HarvestAPI MCP server on the same per-user auth, token vault, and audit trail. Browse 500+ connectors in the MCP connector directory.
