# xero-blade-mcp Xero Accounting + Payroll AU MCP server for Claude and other LLM agents. Token-efficient, security-first, Sidereal-native. 53 tools covering contacts, invoices, bills, bank transactions, payments, credit notes, purchase orders, quotes, manual journals, chart of accounts, financial reports, tax rates, currencies, tracking categories, payroll employees, timesheets, payslips, and webhook verification. ## Why another Xero MCP? The [official Xero MCP](https://github.com/XeroAPI/xero-mcp-server) is a raw API passthrough. It returns complete JSON payloads (800+ tokens per list response), has no write protection, no credential scrubbing, and no published test suite. Community alternatives are either expense-only, read-only (SQL), or limited to 4-16 tools. xero-blade-mcp is purpose-built for LLM agents operating on financial data: - **SecOps** -- Mandatory write gating, confirm gate for destructive operations (void, delete, archive), credential scrubbing in all error paths, OAuth2 token auto-refresh, in-memory-only tokens for client_credentials mode (no secrets written to disk) - **Token efficiency** -- Pipe-delimited lists, field selection, human-readable money (A$150.00 AUD), null-field omission, date formatting, pagination hints -- not raw JSON dumps - **Sidereal ecosystem** -- `accounting-v1` contract, plugin manifest, webhook HMAC-SHA256 verification for dispatch integration, HTTP transport mode for daemon routing ## Comparison | Capability | xero-blade-mcp | XeroAPI/xero-mcp-server | john-zhang-dev/xero-mcp | |---|---|---|---| | Tools | 53 | 50+ | 16 | | Token-efficient responses | Pipe-delimited, field selection, summarised | Raw JSON (full objects) | Raw JSON | | Write gating | Per-operation env var gate | None | None | | Destructive op confirmation | `confirm=true` required for void/delete/archive | None | None | | Credential scrubbing | JWT, Bearer, hex token scrubbing | None | None | | Rate limiting | Built-in (60/min, 5 concurrent, 429 r…
