FAQPage Schema
How do I set up OAuth 2.0 authentication for Xero MCP integration?▼

To set up Xero OAuth 2.0 authentication, run the xero-auth.sh script to trigger a browser-based auth flow, storing tokens locally and updating .mcp.json configurations securely via Vault.

Why does my Xero MCP integration stop working after token expiry?▼

Xero MCP integration stops working after token expiry because OAuth 2.0 tokens require rotation. Re-authenticate by running xero-auth.sh again to refresh and store new tokens in Vault.

How does Vault handle Xero token storage and management?▼

Vault handles Xero token storage by centralizing token management at a shared location, requiring XERO_CLIENT_ID and XERO_CLIENT_SECRET to securely store and rotate authentication tokens.

Do I need XERO_CLIENT_ID and XERO_CLIENT_SECRET for MCP configuration?▼

Yes, you need XERO_CLIENT_ID and XERO_CLIENT_SECRET stored via Vault to generate automated MCP configurations and perform browser-based authentication for the Xero integration.

What's the best way to troubleshoot MCP errors during Xero authentication?▼

The best way to troubleshoot Xero MCP authentication errors is to verify .mcp.json configurations and ensure valid XERO_CLIENT_ID and XERO_CLIENT_SECRET in Vault before re-running xero-auth.sh.
