Retrieve a specific account from Xero's chart of accounts by its unique ID. Returns detailed account information including code, name, type (BANK, REVENUE, EXPENSE, etc.), status (ACTIVE/ARCHIVED), tax settings, bank details (for BANK accounts), and classification. Use XERO_LIST_ACCOUNTS to get account IDs if you don't already have one.
Retrieve a specific asset by ID from Xero. Returns depreciation details and book value.
Retrieve Balance Sheet report from Xero. Shows assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific date. Liability and credit balances appear as negative numbers in the response. Response structure is Reports → Rows → Sections; account lines are nested inside group sections and summary totals (e.g., 'Total Current Assets') appear in SummaryRows.
Retrieve a budget from Xero. Budgets track planned vs actual spending by account.
Tool to list active Xero connections. Use to retrieve all current tenant connections for the authenticated user and resolve the correct tenant_id before making data requests. When multiple tenants are returned, never assume the first connection is correct — always explicitly pass the intended tenant_id to every subsequent call. Using a wrong or stale tenant_id can silently return or modify data for a different organisation.
Tool to retrieve a list of contacts. Use when you need up-to-date contact information with filtering, paging, or incremental updates.
Retrieve a specific invoice by ID from Xero. Returns full invoice details including line items and status.
Retrieve a specific item by ID from Xero. Returns item code, name, pricing, and tax details.
Retrieve a specific manual journal by ID from Xero. Returns full details including journal lines.
Retrieve organisation details from Xero. Returns company info, base currency, timezone, financial year settings, SalesTaxBasis, SalesTaxPeriod, etc. Response fields are nested under data.data.Organisations[0]. Use Timezone when computing date ranges to avoid boundary errors.
Retrieve Profit & Loss report from Xero. Shows income, expenses, and net profit for a specified period. Response rows are labeled (e.g., 'Net Profit', SummaryRow); parse by row label, not array index. Aggregates multiple tax codes — not suitable for tax compliance reporting.
Retrieve a specific project by ID from Xero. Returns project details, deadlines, and status.
Retrieve a specific purchase order by ID from Xero. Returns full details including line items and status.
Tool to retrieve a list of quotes. Use when you need to list, filter, or page through sales quotes. Use after obtaining the tenant ID via connections.
Retrieve chart of accounts from Xero. Returns all accounting codes used for categorizing transactions. Use AccountID (not name or code) as the unique identifier for accounts. Results may be paginated; increment the page parameter until empty results are returned to avoid missing accounts in large organisations.
Retrieve fixed assets from Xero. Assets track depreciation and book value of capital equipment.
List all attachments for a specific entity in Xero (invoice, contact, etc.).
Retrieve bank transactions from Xero. Includes SPEND, RECEIVE, and transfer types; unfiltered results include DELETED transactions that skew totals. Dates returned in /Date(milliseconds_since_epoch)/ format. Rate limit: ~60 requests/minute per org; heavy pagination may trigger 429 errors.
Retrieve list of credit notes from Xero. Credit notes are issued to reduce amounts owed by customers.
Retrieve files from Xero Files. Lists documents stored in Xero's file management system.
Retrieve folders from Xero Files. Lists document folders in Xero's file management system.
Retrieve a list of invoices from Xero. Results include both sales invoices (Type=ACCREC) and bills (Type=ACCPAY) by default; filter by Type in the `where` clause when only one is needed. Supports filtering by status, contact, date range, and pagination.
Retrieve items (inventory/products) from Xero. Items can be tracked for sales and/or purchases.
Retrieve journals from Xero. Journals show the accounting entries for all transactions. Omitting filters returns the full historical journal ledger and can produce very large responses — use If-Modified-Since and/or paymentsOnly to narrow scope. No date range filter parameter exists. Results are returned inside a Journals array field.
Retrieve manual journals from Xero. Manual journals are used for period-end adjustments and corrections.
Retrieve list of payments from Xero. Payments link invoices to bank transactions; invoices may have multiple partial/split payment records. Response Date fields use Xero's /Date(milliseconds)/ format requiring custom parsing.
Retrieve projects from Xero. Projects track time and costs for client work.
Retrieve list of purchase orders from Xero. Purchase orders track goods/services ordered from suppliers.
Retrieve tax rates from Xero. Shows available tax codes and rates for the organization. Use returned tax codes as valid `TaxType` values in other tools — invalid values cause ValidationException errors.
Retrieve tracking categories from Xero. Tracking categories are used to segment data for reporting (e.g., departments, regions).
Update an existing contact in Xero. Only provided fields will be updated.
Tool to update an existing invoice. Use when you need to modify the details of an invoice after it's been created.
Upload a file attachment to a Xero entity (invoice, contact, etc.). Supports PDF, images, and documents.
No webhooks.
