Odoo MCP Server

An MCP server implementation that integrates with Odoo ERP systems, enabling AI assistants to interact with Odoo data and functionality through the Model Context Protocol.

Features

• Comprehensive Odoo Integration: Full access to Odoo models, records, and methods
• XML-RPC Communication: Secure connection to Odoo instances via XML-RPC
• Flexible Configuration: Support for config files and environment variables
• Resource Pattern System: URI-based access to Odoo data structures
• Error Handling: Clear error messages for common Odoo API issues
• Stateless Operations: Clean request/response cycle for reliable integration

  • Inputs:
    • model (string): The model name (e.g., 'res.partner')
    • method (string): Method name to execute
    • args (optional array): Positional arguments
    • kwargs (optional object): Keyword arguments
  • Returns: Dictionary with the method result and success indicator

• search_employee

  • Returns: JSON array of matching records (limited to 10 by default)

Configuration

Odoo Connection Setup

1. Create a configuration file named odoo_config.json:

{
  "url": "https://your-odoo-instance.com",
  "db": "your-database-name",
  "username": "your-username",
  "password": "your-password-or-api-key"
}

2. Alternatively, use environment variables:
   • ODOO_URL: Your Odoo server URL
   • ODOO_DB: Database name
   • ODOO_USERNAME: Login username
   • ODOO_PASSWORD: Password or API key
   • ODOO_TIMEOUT: Connection timeout in seconds (default: 30)
   • ODOO_VERIFY_SSL: Whether to verify SSL certificates (default: true)
   • HTTP_PROXY: Force the ODOO connection to use an HTTP proxy

      }
    }
  }
}

Installation

Python Package

pip install odoo-mcp

Running the Server

# Using the installed package
odoo-mcp

# Using the MCP development tools
mcp dev odoo_mcp/server.py

# With additional dependencies
mcp dev odoo_mcp/server.py --with pandas --with numpy

Parameter Formatting Guidelines

When using the MCP tools for Odoo, pay attention to these parameter formatting guidelines:

1. Domain Parameter:

   • The following domain formats are supported:
     • List format: [["field", "operator", value], ...]
     • Object format: {"conditions": [{"field": "...", "operator": "...", "value": "..."}]}
     • JSON string of either format
   • Examples:
     • List format: [["is_company", "=", true]]

2. Fields Parameter:

   • Should be an array of field names: ["name", "email", "phone"]
   • The server will try to parse string inputs as JSON
