Best for
  • AI assistants that need to interact with Xero accounting data
  • Automation workflows for accounting and finance teams
  • Developers needing quick, API-key-free web search capabilities
  • Privacy-conscious users who prefer local search execution

  • Not for non-Xero users
  • Enterprise applications requiring high-scale, reliable search APIs
  • Users needing advanced search features like custom ranking or filters
  • Accessing sites blocked by TLS fingerprinting without installing the optional browser backend
Required permissions
  • Requires authorization to access Xero accounting data, including invoices, contacts, bank transactions, payroll, etc.
  • Exact permissions depend on OAuth scopes, such as accounting.invoices, accounting.contacts, etc.
  • Outbound network access to DuckDuckGo and other websites
  • Reads environment variables for SafeSearch, region, and CA certificates
  • Optionally reads a CA certificate file (for TLS-intercepting proxies)
Risks and side effects
  • Sensitive financial data may be exposed or misused
  • Potential accidental modification or deletion of accounting records if misconfigured
  • Need to manage secure storage of OAuth tokens
  • Search endpoints may occasionally return empty results or errors, especially when blocked
  • Content fetching may be subject to SSRF protection, blocking private or loopback addresses by default
  • Misuse could lead to rate limiting or IP blocking
