🛠️ Installation

1. Install UV

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.

2. Clone the Repository

git clone git@github.com:sameeroz/odoo-mcp-server.git
cd odoo-mcp-server

3. Install Dependencies

Using uv:

uv sync

Key Classes

• OdooMCPServer: Main server orchestrator
• OdooConfig: Configuration management with validation
• OdooTools: MCP tool implementations
• ConfigValidationError: Custom exception for configuration errors

Adding New Tools

To add new MCP tools:

1. Add the tool method to the OdooTools class in tools.py
2. Use the @self.mcp.tool() decorator
3. Include proper type hints and docstrings

🔒 Security Considerations

• Credentials: Store sensitive information in environment variables
• Validation: All inputs are validated before processing
• Error Handling: Sensitive information is not exposed in error messages
• Timeouts: Connection timeouts prevent hanging requests
• Permissions: Ensure Odoo user has minimal required permissions
