🧾 Odoo Accounting MCP Server

This is a simplified, non-production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for experimental integration with Odoo Accounting via XML-RPC. Specifically tailored for use with Claude Desktop, this project focuses on enabling AI tools to query and analyze account journal entries for audit purposes. While it allows interaction with Odoo accounting data, its current scope is limited to this specific use case and is not intended for production environments. Future exploration might consider expanding to other accounting-related data, such as invoices, depending on the outcomes of the initial focus.

⚙️ Claude Desktop Integration

You don’t need to manually run the MCP server when using Claude Desktop. Instead, configure Claude Desktop to manage the server lifecycle.

Update your claude_desktop_config.json file with the following configuration (adjust the paths and Odoo credentials as necessary):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odoo": {
      "command": "python",
      "cwd": "D:/jeevan-projects/odoomcp/odoo_account_mcp",
      "args": [
        "main.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ODOO_URL": "http://localhost:8069",
        "ODOO_DB": "your_db",
        "ODOO_USERNAME": "admin",
        "ODOO_PASSWORD": "your_password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important Notes:

• Ensure the cwd path in the configuration points to the correct directory of your odoo_account_mcp project.
• Replace the placeholder Odoo credentials with your actual Odoo instance details.
