How to Use the Xero MCP in AutoGen

Q: Can AutoGen help me with Xero contacts?

Absolutely. You can set up agents to review listxerocontacts. One agent might verify an address against a physical database, while another checks if they have outstanding invoices.

Negotiating Financial Statements

The `get_profit_and_loss` tool pulls P&L data for a date range. In an AutoGen setup, one agent can pull this report while another challenges the date range's accuracy. The agents then debate which period is most relevant, forcing convergence on a single, agreed-upon financial outcome.

Resolving Billing Disputes in Xero

You start by listing records using `list_xero_invoices` and `get_invoice_details`. A 'Compliance Agent' can flag missing payment details, while a 'Sales Agent' pushes for the most recent sales data. The deliberation process resolves conflicts—like whether an invoice was paid or not—before presenting the final status.

Validating Account Structures via MCP Server

Need to check if a specific account exists? Use `list_chart_of_accounts`. The agents can then debate if that listed account is appropriate for a given transaction type. The system ensures consistency; one agent might validate the structure, while another confirms it matches recorded payments from `list_xero_payments`.

Setup guide

Set up Xero MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes Xero tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="Xero_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Xero data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="Xero_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Xero data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Xero MCP in AutoGen

AutoGen doesn't just call tools; agents debate the results. If one agent gets a balance sheet from the MCP Server, another might challenge it by comparing it against `list_bank_transactions` to find discrepancies.

Yeah, you can feed tools from different servers into your agent setup. The framework lets agents treat all those APIs as part of their shared environment for discussion.

The MCP Server touches invoice details and bank transactions. Your security protocols handle the access tokens, meaning the negotiation happens on your secure infrastructure.

Absolutely. You can set up agents to review `list_xero_contacts`. One agent might verify an address against a physical database, while another checks if they have outstanding invoices.

The server touches assets, liabilities, and equity totals. This is critical financial balance sheet information that your agent must handle carefully.
