How do I connect Xero to Operator?

Connecting Xero is a one time sign in from your Operator dashboard. Operator keeps the connection live and rotates the token on its own, so the agent stays connected to Xero and you never reauthorize by hand.

Can my agent handle records and reporting in Xero?

Yes. It can create and update records, pull figures, and read a summary back to you in plain language. People use it to log transactions, check a balance, or answer a question about Xero data instead of building the report by hand.

Do I need to write code or manage Xero API keys?

No. Operator manages the Xero connection and token refresh, so there are no API keys to paste and nothing to deploy.

Can my agent use Xero together with my other apps?

Yes. The same agent reaches every app you connect, so it can move between Xero and tools like Stripe, Coupa, Zoho books in one job, reading from one and acting in another without you wiring anything between them.

Automate Xero with AI

Your OpenClaw agent lives on Operator and treats Xero as one more service it can drive. Send it an outcome in a Telegram or Discord message and it works out which of the 41 Xero actions to run, then runs them.

Your agent reaches Xero directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.

How to connect Xero

You authorize Xero once from your dashboard. Operator holds the connection and refreshes the access tokens on its own, so your agent keeps working with Xero without you signing in again. The same setup unlocks every other app your agent can reach, so you only do it once.

When you are ready, the get started guide walks through standing up your OpenClaw agent.
