Installation

Prerequisites

# Ensure Python 3.12+ is installed
python --version

# Install MCP CLI (if not already installed)
pip install "mcp[cli]"

For Claude Desktop

1. Quick Install (Recommended):

   mcp install odoo_mcp_server.py --name "Odoo Dev"
   

2. Manual Install:

   Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

   Add this configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "odoo-dev": {
         "command": "python",
         "args": ["/absolute/path/to/odoo-dev-mcp/odoo_mcp_server.py"]
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart Claude Desktop

For OpenCode

📖 Complete OpenCode Setup Guide →

Quick setup - add to ~/.opencode/config.jsonc:

Option 1: Using uv (Recommended)

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "odoo-dev": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["uv", "run", "/absolute/path/to/odoo-dev-mcp/odoo_mcp_server.py"],
      "enabled": true,
      "environment": {
        "PATH": "/home/user/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
      }
    }
  }
}

First, install dependencies:

cd /path/to/odoo-dev-mcp
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv sync

Option 2: Using Python directly

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "odoo-dev": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["python3", "/absolute/path/to/odoo-dev-mcp/odoo_mcp_server.py"],
      "enabled": true,
      "environment": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/absolute/path/to/odoo-dev-mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Requires pip install mcp first.

Then use in OpenCode:

Search Odoo documentation for "fields.Command"
Set Odoo version to 19.0
Create model library.book with fields: name, author
Get development guidelines

See OPENCODE_SETUP.md for complete guide with examples, troubleshooting, and workflows.

Quick Start

- ✅ Claude Desktop
- ✅ OpenCode (VS Code extension)
- ✅ Any MCP-compatible client

## Requirements

- Python 3.12+
- MCP SDK 1.4.1+
- FastMCP

## Troubleshooting

### Server not showing in Claude?
1. Check config file is valid JSON
2. Verify absolute paths
3. Restart Claude Desktop completely

### Import errors?
```bash
pip install "mcp[cli]"

Documentation not found?

Ensure docs/ directory exists with version folders (17.0, 18.0, 19.0)

Tips

1. Always set the Odoo version first - All code generation adapts to the selected version
2. Review development guidelines - Use get_development_guidelines() for context-specific rules
3. Follow naming conventions - Generated code includes rules warnings for common mistakes
4. Use descriptive model names - e.g., library.book (with dots), not lib_b (with underscores)
5. Check rules in generated code - Each tool output includes relevant naming and coding rules
6. Search before asking - Use search_documentation() for specific questions
7. Test incrementally - module → models → views → security
8. Review code against rules - Use the review_odoo_code prompt for rule compliance checks
