Full read-write Claude connector for Melio
Have Claude schedule bill payments and chase invoices in Melio
Stop hand-keying bills and tracking down overdue invoices. Claude matches a bill to the right vendor, drafts a scheduled payment with the date and funding source, and sends invoice reminders where your payables already live, with money-moving actions waiting on your approval.
Melio is an accounts payable and receivable platform that small businesses use to pay bills, schedule vendor payments, and send invoices. People want Claude to do more than read balances: to draft bill payments, schedule them, and chase invoices on their behalf.
What is a Melio MCP server?
A Melio MCP server is a small hosted service that exposes Melio's data and actions to Claude over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude can invoices, payments, and books inside your own account. We build it as a custom connector with separate read and write tools, and destructive actions stay gated behind your approval.
What can Melio's current connector do today?
Today, Melio does not publish a first-party Claude or MCP connector, so any link runs through a custom build against its API. A scoped connector can read bills, vendors, and payment status, then expose write actions like scheduling a payment, with approval gated. Exact capabilities depend on the API access your Melio account allows.
What does full read-write Melio access unlock?
Full read-write Melio access lets Claude match an incoming bill to the right vendor, draft a scheduled payment, set the date and funding source, send an invoice, and record the result, all once you approve. The reconciliation and bill-entry work that used to mean manual data entry happens where your payables already live.
- Draft a bill payment for an approved vendor and set the scheduled date
- Add or update a vendor record before a first payment
- Create and send an invoice to a customer
- Send a payment reminder on an overdue invoice
- Flag bills due this week and propose a batched payment run for approval
Can Claude schedule a bill payment in Melio?
Claude can schedule a bill payment in Melio with a custom connector. It drafts the payment against an existing vendor and sets the date and funding source. Melio has no first-party Claude connector today, so this needs a purpose-built integration, and the payment is only submitted after you approve it.
Can Claude send invoices and payment reminders in Melio?
Claude can create and send invoices in Melio and send reminders on overdue ones. With scoped write access it drafts the invoice to a customer and queues the reminder, but the outbound send stays a gated action that runs only after you confirm, so nothing leaves your account by surprise.
Will Claude move money in Melio without my approval?
No. Moving money in Melio is a separate, gated write action. Claude can prepare the bill, the amount, the date, and the funding source, but the payment is only submitted after you approve it. The connector also never gets more access to your account than you already have.
How a Melio connector works
We build a small MCP server that connects to Melio through scoped API access, requesting only the permissions the work needs. Read tools (list bills, vendors, payment status) and write tools (schedule payment, create invoice) are separated, and money-moving or outbound actions like sending a payment require your confirmation. Claude never has more access to the account than you already do, and we can add IP allowlisting where Melio supports it.
