Install UV First
The MCP server runs on your local computer (where Claude Desktop is installed), not on your Odoo server. You need to install UV on your local machine:
macOS/Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Windows
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
After installation, restart your terminal to ensure UV is in your PATH.
Installing via MCP Settings (Recommended)
Add this configuration to your MCP settings:

"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-odoo"],
"env": {
"ODOO_URL": "https://your-odoo-instance.com",
"ODOO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"

host.docker.internalinstead oflocalhostto connect to Odoo running on the host machine.
For HTTP transport:
docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 \
-e ODOO_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8069 \
-e ODOO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here \

The image is also available on GHCR: ghcr.io/ivnvxd/mcp-server-odoo
Using pip
# Install globally
pip install mcp-server-odoo
# Or use pipx for isolated environment
pipx install mcp-server-odoo
Then use mcp-server-odoo as the command in your MCP configuration.
From source
git clone https://github.com/ivnvxd/mcp-server-odoo.git
cd mcp-server-odoo
pip install -e .
Then use the full path to the package in your MCP configuration.
Configuration
Environment Variables
The server requires the following environment variables:
| Variable | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
ODOO_URL | Yes | Your Odoo instance URL | https://mycompany.odoo.com |
ODOO_API_KEY | Yes* | API key for authentication | 0ef5b399e9ee9c11b053dfb6eeba8de473c29fcd |
ODOO_USER | Yes* | Username (if not using API key) | admin |

*Either ODOO_API_KEY or both ODOO_USER and ODOO_PASSWORD are required.
Notes:
- If database listing is restricted on your server, you must specify
ODOO_DB - API key authentication is recommended for better security
- The server also loads environment variables from a
.envfile in the working directory
Advanced Configuration
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
ODOO_MCP_DEFAULT_LIMIT | 10 | Default number of records returned per search |
ODOO_MCP_MAX_LIMIT | 100 | Maximum allowed record limit per request |
ODOO_MCP_MAX_SMART_FIELDS | 15 | Maximum fields returned by smart field selection |
ODOO_MCP_LOG_LEVEL | INFO | Log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL) |
ODOO_MCP_LOG_JSON | false | Enable structured JSON log output |
ODOO_MCP_LOG_FILE | β | Path for rotating log file (10 MB, 5 backups) |
ODOO_MCP_TRANSPORT | stdio | Transport type (stdio, streamable-http) |
ODOO_MCP_HOST | localhost | Host to bind for HTTP transport |
ODOO_MCP_PORT | 8000 | Port to bind for HTTP transport |
Transport Options
The server supports multiple transport protocols for different use cases:
1. stdio (Default)
Standard input/output transport - used by desktop AI applications like Claude Desktop.
# Default transport - no additional configuration needed
uvx mcp-server-odoo
2. streamable-http
Standard HTTP transport for REST API-style access and remote connectivity.
# Run with HTTP transport
uvx mcp-server-odoo --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
# Or use environment variables
export ODOO_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
export ODOO_MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0
export ODOO_MCP_PORT=8000
uvx mcp-server-odoo
The HTTP endpoint will be available at: http://localhost:8000/mcp/
Note: SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport has been deprecated in MCP protocol version 2025-03-26. Use streamable-http
