Odoo MCP Server: free plan, Claude & ChatGPT

Get started

Hosted (recommended)

The fastest and safest way to get started. We run the server for you -- sign up, paste your Odoo URL + API key, done.

• Up and running in 5 minutes. No install, no Docker, no infrastructure. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI tool.
• Always up to date. Security patches, Odoo-version compatibility, and new MCP features ship automatically -- no upgrade work on your side.
• Safer by default. Encrypted API keys (AES-128), managed OAuth 2.1, continuous monitoring, European infrastructure. We handle the boring-but-critical stuff so you don't have to.

1. Sign up at pantalytics.com
2. Log in and enter your Odoo URL + API key (how to generate one)
3. Add the MCP server to your AI tool (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.)
4. Start asking questions

Your data stays in Odoo -- the server is a stateless proxy. API keys are encrypted at rest.

Self-hosted

Run on your own machine. Single-tenant only: one Odoo instance, configured via env vars. Authentication is your Odoo API key -- no OAuth, no user management, no admin UI.

# Install
pip install "mcp-server-odoo @ git+https://github.com/pantalytics/odoo-mcp-pro.git"

# Run (stdio mode, for Claude Desktop / Claude Code)
ODOO_URL=https://mycompany.odoo.com ODOO_API_KEY=your_key python -m mcp_server_odoo

# Run (HTTP mode, for remote access from one trusted network)
ODOO_URL=https://mycompany.odoo.com ODOO_API_KEY=your_key \
  python -m mcp_server_odoo --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

HTTP mode has no built-in authentication -- expose it behind a reverse proxy or restrict at the network level.

Or add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odoo": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_odoo"],
      "env": {
        "ODOO_URL": "https://mycompany.odoo.com",
        "ODOO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Need multi-tenant, per-user connections, OAuth, or an admin UI? That's SaaS territory. The hosted version is faster to set up, auto-updates, and handles security patches for you -- and costs less than the time you'd spend self-hosting. These features live in a separate commercial package that builds on top of this open-core server.

How it works

odoo-mcp-pro is an Odoo connector that implements MCP (Model Context Protocol) -- an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. It exposes the following tools that your AI can call based on your questions:

Supports Odoo 14-20 -- uses the JSON/2 API for Odoo 19+ and XML-RPC for older versions. The right protocol is selected automatically.

Security

• Odoo is the boss. All data, permissions, and business logic live in Odoo. Each user's API key determines what they can see and do -- ACLs and record rules apply as normal.
• Stateless proxy. The MCP server doesn't store or cache your business data.
• API keys encrypted at rest using AES-128 (Fernet). Never exposed to the AI, the browser, or logs.
• You stay in control. Revoke your API key in Odoo at any time to instantly cut off access.
• Found a vulnerability? Mail [email protected], see SECURITY.md. Reporters are credited in the changelog.

Prefer managed security? The hosted version handles patches, OAuth token rotation, and incident monitoring -- your data still stays in Odoo, we just run the proxy for you.

FAQ

Which Odoo versions are supported? Odoo 14-20. The server auto-detects whether to use JSON/2 (Odoo 19+) or XML-RPC (14-18). No configuration needed.

Does it work on my phone? Yes -- the hosted version works on Claude mobile (iOS/Android), Claude.ai in any browser, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and ChatGPT. Local installs (STDIO) only work on the machine where they're installed.

Is my data safe? Your data stays in Odoo. The MCP server is a stateless proxy -- it doesn't store or cache business data. API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-128 (Fernet). Each user's Odoo permissions apply: you can only see and do what your Odoo role allows.

I get "Access denied" on all models This usually means your Odoo API key doesn't have the right permissions. Try:

1. Regenerate your API key in Odoo (Settings > Users > API Keys) and update it wherever you configured it (hosted: /admin/setup; self-hosted: your ODOO_API_KEY env var)
2. Make sure your Odoo user has at least read access to the models you want to query
3. If you're on Odoo.sh, verify your subscription plan supports the JSON/2 API

I get "Authentication required" or "invalid_token" (hosted version) This means the OAuth connection between your AI tool and the MCP server failed. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the MCP server in your AI tool's settings. Self-hosted installs don't use OAuth -- they authenticate with your Odoo API key directly.

Do I need to set ODOO_DB? Only if you self-host Odoo with multiple databases. Odoo.sh and Odoo Online don't need it -- the hostname determines the database.

Should I use hosted or self-hosted? Hosted, unless you have a strong reason not to. Hosted is running in 5 minutes, auto-updates with every Odoo release, and has managed OAuth + encrypted API keys. Self-hosting is single-tenant only (one Odoo instance, API key auth, no admin UI), and you're on the hook for patches and security. Start with hosted at pantalytics.com →
