How to Set Up and Use Odoo MCP
The MCP Server for Odoo connects AI assistants to Odoo ERP systems, enabling natural language queries, record creation, updates, and deletions across all Odoo modules through a standard MCP interface. It supports full CRUD operations on any Odoo model, server-side aggregation, chatter messaging, and optional method invocation, all secured with either API key or username/password authentication. Business users can ask Claude to search customers, create invoices, check inventory levels, or automate repetitive ERP tasks without writing code or navigating Odoo's UI.
Prerequisites
- An Odoo instance accessible via HTTPS (Odoo 14+ supported, SaaS or self-hosted)
- An Odoo API key (generated in Settings > Technical > API Keys) or valid Odoo username and password
- uv package manager installed (https://astral.sh/uv) for uvx-based installation
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code
- The Odoo database name if your instance hosts multiple databases (ODOO_DB)
Install uv (required for uvx)
The recommended installation method uses uvx, which is included with the uv package manager. Install uv if you don't have it.
# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"Obtain your Odoo API key
In Odoo, go to Settings > Technical > API Keys (or your user profile > Account Security > API Keys) and generate a new key. Copy it — you will use it as ODOO_API_KEY.
Add the server to your MCP client configuration
Edit your MCP client's config file and add the Odoo server block. Supply your Odoo instance URL and API key as environment variables.

"ODOO_DB": "your_database_name"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen MCP client to load the new Odoo server. Verify the Odoo tools appear in the available tools list.
Test the connection with a simple query
Ask Claude to list available Odoo models to confirm the server is connected and authenticated correctly.

}
}
}Prompts to try
Use natural language to manage your Odoo ERP data through Claude.
- "Show me all customers from Spain with their contact details"
- "Create a new customer contact for Acme Corporation with email [email protected]"
- "Find all products with stock below 10 units and list their reorder quantities"
- "How many active employees do we have in total?"
- "Update the phone number for customer John Doe to +1-555-0100"
- "List all open sales orders from this week and their total values"Troubleshooting Odoo MCP
Authentication fails with 'Invalid API key' or 401 error
Verify that ODOO_API_KEY is set to a valid, active API key generated from your Odoo instance. API keys are user-specific — ensure the key belongs to a user with sufficient access rights. Alternatively, use ODOO_USER and ODOO_PASSWORD instead of an API key.
Server cannot connect to Odoo (connection refused or timeout)
Check that ODOO_URL is the full URL to your Odoo instance including https:// (e.g., https://mycompany.odoo.com). For self-hosted instances, ensure the server is reachable from your machine and not blocked by a firewall. Test with `curl https://your-odoo-instance.com/web/database/list`.
Record operations fail with access rights errors
The Odoo user associated with your API key may not have permission to read or write the requested model. In Odoo, grant the user appropriate access rights in Settings > Users > Access Rights, or use an admin API key for full access. The server respects Odoo's native access control layer.
