install xero-mcp on Cursor

Requires Node 18+ on your system so npx can fetch the package on first run. Cursor reloads its MCP servers automatically the moment the file is saved — no restart needed. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register xero-mcp.

paste into
global: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
project: .cursor/mcp.json (commit alongside your repo)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xero-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "xero-mcp@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "XERO_CLIENT_ID": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
        "XERO_CLIENT_SECRET": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
        "XERO_REDIRECT_URI": "http://localhost:5000/callback"
      }
    }
  }
}
then: No restart needed — Cursor picks up the change automatically.
