Two ways to connect Xero to Claude

Which one fits depends on what you need Claude to do, and on how many sources the question touches.

↗

A connector like Catchr

Catchr MCP puts Xero and your other marketing sources in the same conversation, under one connection.

Claude reads campaigns, ad sets, ads, placements, and creative performance. Other sources connected to the same workspace can inform the same answer.

Read-only by design

Catchr gives Claude eight tools, and all eight of them read.

What Claude can read

Claude can list the platforms and accounts connected to your workspace, browse the available fields, and run reporting queries against them. That covers spend, delivery, conversions, and creative performance, down to the level you ask for.

What Claude cannot touch

Claude cannot create, pause, or edit a campaign, move a budget, publish an ad, or change an audience. There is no write permission to grant, so there is none to supervise.

Where the change still happens

In Ads Manager. Decide in the conversation what to change and why, then act with the access and the review your team already uses.

Twelve Xero prompts for analyzing real account data.

Choose your role, open a workflow, then replace the bracketed variables before pasting the prompt into Claude. Every prompt asks for evidence, limits, and a concrete output.

Agency promptCopy prompt

Replace [variables] Facts ≠ hypotheses Action + follow-up metric

A simple client question should not trigger an hour of data prep

“Why did CPA rise?” sounds simple. The answer is usually buried across exports, formulas, filters, and tabs before the analysis can even start.

Pull another CSV

Choose the right account, date range, breakdowns, and fields. Then wait for the file and do it again when the question changes.

Rebuild the context

Rename columns, fix formats, join tabs, and check formulas before you can trust the comparison.

Summarize it by hand

Turn the numbers into a client-ready answer, then repeat the whole process for the inevitable follow-up.

Ask the account. Get to the explanation.

Catchr MCP gives Claude access to the marketing accounts you select, so each follow-up starts with the same marketing context instead of a new manual export.

The hard way

Prepare data before every question.

  • Export files from the marketing platform
  • Reformat and reconcile columns
  • Rebuild the analysis for each follow-up
The Catchr way

Connect once. Keep asking.

  • Select the right accounts and data
  • Ask in the language your team already uses
  • Investigate with follow-up questions

Xero to Claude: FAQ

Clear answers for marketers comparing connectors, data sources, reporting workflows, and dashboard setup.

What Xero data can Claude analyze through Catchr?

Claude can analyze Xero records returned through the selected Catchr connection. The available catalog includes 20 metrics and 112 dimensions covering contacts, invoices, invoice lines, and payments, with fields such as Total, Total Tax, Amount Due, Amount Paid, account codes, and payment account names.

How can Claude analyze Xero invoices through Catchr?

Claude can compare returned invoice values such as Subtotal, Total Tax, Total, Amount Paid, Amount Due, Amount Credited, Currency Rate, and Line Item Count. Specify the tenant, requested period, filters, and reporting grain so calculations remain consistent.

Can Claude help review overdue Xero balances?

Yes. Claude can examine returned contact balances for accounts receivable and accounts payable, including outstanding and overdue amounts. Ask it to rank material balances, explain the fields used, and separate observed figures from conclusions that require checking in Xero.

Can Claude review Xero account coding and payment details?

Claude can review returned account codes and account IDs on invoice lines alongside payment account codes, IDs, and names. It can flag missing values or patterns worth investigating, but those patterns alone do not prove that an entry is incorrect.

What prompts work well for analyzing Xero data in Claude?

Strong prompts name the Xero tenant, records to examine, requested period, fields, thresholds, and output format. Useful requests include an overdue receivables review, invoice payment summary, tax and subtotal check, payment account breakdown, or account-code consistency review.

Can Claude combine Xero with other Catchr sources?

Yes, when the other sources are also connected through Catchr and the returned data provides compatible identifiers and definitions. Align periods, currencies, account scope, and reporting grain before combining results; otherwise, ask Claude for a side-by-side comparison.

Can Claude compare data from multiple Xero tenants?

Yes, provided each relevant Xero tenant is authorized, selected, and available through Catchr. Request separate tenant results before a combined summary, and define the currency, period, fields, and materiality threshold to avoid misleading comparisons.

What do I need to connect Xero to Claude with Catchr?

You need permission to authorize Xero through OAuth 2, access to the relevant Xero tenant, a Catchr workspace with Xero connected, and Catchr MCP enabled in Claude. After authorization, the selected tenant identifies the Xero account used for returned records.

How recent is the Xero data Claude can analyze through Catchr?

Claude analyzes the Xero records returned through Catchr and should not assume they are real time. Freshness and historical coverage can vary by entity, tenant, requested period, permissions, and Xero API limits, so ask Claude to identify the latest available timestamp and any gaps before interpreting trends.

Can Claude change Xero records through Catchr?

No. Catchr provides Xero data to Claude for analysis and does not give Claude permission to edit contacts, invoices, invoice lines, payments, or accounting settings. Use Claude's findings to prepare a reviewed action plan, then make approved changes in Xero.
