Odoo Accounting MCP server for AI agents

This Python package provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Odoo integration, creating a standardized interface that allows AI agents to access and manipulate Odoo data. It bridges AI systems with Odoo ERP systems, enabling them to work with partner information, accounting data, financial records, and invoices.

Installation

To install the MCP-Odoo server:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourtechtribe/model-context-protocol-mcp-odoo.git
cd model-context-protocol-mcp-odoo

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root directory with the following configuration:

ODOO_URL=https://your-odoo-instance.com
ODOO_DB=your_database
ODOO_USERNAME=your_username
ODOO_PASSWORD=your_password
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8080

Replace the placeholder values with your actual Odoo instance details.

Starting the Server

You can start the MCP server in two different transport modes:

# Using the SSE transport (default)
python -m mcp_odoo_public

# Using stdio for local agent integration
python -m mcp_odoo_public --transport stdio

Core Features

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "mcp-odoo" '{"command":"python","args":["-m","mcp_odoo_public"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-odoo": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "-m",
                "mcp_odoo_public"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

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

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-odoo": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "-m",
                "mcp_odoo_public"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
