Step 1 - Install the Module in Odoo

After installing the module, the MCP server is available at /mcp/sse and /mcp/health.

Step 2 — Configure Access

There are two ways to configure access:

You can either use a dedicated Odoo user account for each AI model connection using credentials, or generate an API key for each user.

With the API key approach, the AI model only has access to the data and permissions granted to that specific user.

Option 1 — Use User Credentials

Go to Settings → RAG Odoo MCP Server.
Enable "User Credentials" and enter the user's login and password.

Once configured, save the settings and test the connection.

Copy the automatically generated text and paste it into the Claude configuration file (demonstrated in the YouTube configuration video).

Option 2 — Generate an API Token for Each User

Each user connects with their own native Odoo API key. The Ai model then operates as that user and can do exactly what the user is allowed to do in Odoo — nothing more

Go to Settings → RAG Odoo MCP Server.
Enable "Per-user API Key".

Copy the generated text and paste it into the Claude configuration file (demonstrated in the YouTube configuration video).

API keys are generated in Preferences → Account Security → New API Key

Step 3 - Configure Claude Desktop

- Windows + R: open %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- These are the blocks the will be generated and needs to be used in "mcpServers" section according to the connection option you choosed:

User credentials option

"odoo": {
  "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://PATH_TO_YOUR_INSTANCE/mcp/sse?db=YOUR_DATABASE_NAME",
        "--transport",
        "sse-only",
        "--allow-http"
      ]
    },

Secure API option

"odoo": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "mcp-remote",
    "https://PATH_TO_YOUR_INSTANCE/mcp/sse?db=YOUR_DATABASE_NAME",
    "--allow-http",
    "--transport",
    "sse-only",
    "--header",
    "Authorization:${MCP_ODOO_AUTH}"
  ],
  "env": {
    "MCP_ODOO_AUTH": "Bearer YOUR_GENERATED_API_KEY"
  }
}

- If you use Odoo.sh, you do not need to specify the database (?db=your_database_name).
- You can also watch the configuration tutorial video above.

Step 4 - Start Using Claude with Odoo

Usage examples:

"Generate a sales dashboard for the current year"
"Show me all customers from France"
"Find products with stock below 10 units"
"List today's sales orders over $1900"
"Search for unpaid invoices from last month"
"Create partners from the attached document"
"Create a sale order from the attached customer order"
