odoo-sh-mcp 0.1.0

MCP server for Odoo SH — exposes ORM metadata, views, modules and logs to Claude Code via XML-RPC

odoo-sh-mcp

MCP server for Odoo SH that exposes ORM metadata and framework introspection to Claude Code via XML-RPC.

Unlike existing Odoo MCP servers that read business records (customers, invoices), this one reads the framework itself: model fields, view XML, installed modules, and server logs.

What it does

Claude Code (your machine)
       ↓ MCP protocol (stdio)
odoo-sh-mcp (Python, local)
       ↓ XML-RPC
Odoo SH (remote instance)

No SSH. No direct DB access. Only the XML-RPC API Odoo already exposes.
