All tools follow the MCP specification for error handling with standardized error codes and messages.

Resources

• odoo://models

  • Lists all available models in the Odoo system
  • Returns: Resource with MIME type application/json containing model information

• odoo://model/{model_name}

  • Get information about a specific model including fields
  • Example: odoo://model/res.partner
  • Returns: Resource with MIME type application/json containing model metadata and field definitions

• odoo://record/{model_name}/{record_id}

  • Get a specific record by ID
  • Example: odoo://record/res.partner/1
  • Returns: Resource with MIME type application/json containing record data

• odoo://search/{model_name}/{domain}

  • Search for records that match a domain
  • Example: odoo://search/res.partner/[["is_company","=",true]]
  • Returns: Resource with MIME type application/json containing matching records (limited to 10 by default)

Resource Subscriptions

This server implements MCP resource subscriptions, allowing clients to be notified when resources change:

• resources/subscribe

  • Subscribe to changes in a specific resource
  • Parameters: uri - the resource URI to subscribe to
  • Returns: Confirmation of subscription success

• resources/unsubscribe

  • Unsubscribe from changes in a specific resource
  • Parameters: uri - the resource URI to unsubscribe from
  • Returns: Confirmation of unsubscription success

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",
  "mcp_prefix": "my_odoo_production"
}

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_MCP_PREFIX: Custom prefix for MCP commands and resources (default: database name)
   • 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

Multi-Database Support

When running multiple Odoo MCP servers connected to different databases, you can use the ODOO_MCP_PREFIX parameter to create unique command names for each server, avoiding conflicts in AI environments:

# For production Odoo server
export ODOO_MCP_PREFIX="aspire_production"
# Commands will appear as: aspire_production_execute_method

# For development Odoo server
export ODOO_MCP_PREFIX="aspire_dev"
# Commands will appear as: aspire_dev_execute_method

Without this setting, the database name will be used as a prefix by default. The MCP prefix ensures tools and resources have distinct names when using multiple Odoo instances with a single LLM.

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odoo": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "odoo_mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ODOO_URL": "https://your-odoo-instance.com",
        "ODOO_DB": "your-database-name",
        "ODOO_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "ODOO_PASSWORD": "your-password-or-api-key",
        "ODOO_MCP_PREFIX": "my_odoo"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odoo": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",

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]]
     • Object format: {"conditions": [{"field": "date_order", "operator": ">=", "value": "2025-03-01"}]}
     • Multiple conditions: [["date_order", ">=", "2025-03-01"], ["date_order", "<=", "2025-03-31"]]

2. Fields Parameter:

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