<h2>Speed Run — From Zero to Odoo-Connected Agent</h2>
<p>We published a full step-by-step walkthrough. It takes under 10 Minutes from signup to your first Odoo query:</p>

<h2>Integration Options</h2>
<p>Hermes Agent supports two ways to connect to your Odoo instance. Both work — pick the one that fits your architecture.</p>
<h3>Option 1 — Direct API (Recommended for Odoo-Only Setups)</h3>
<p>We published a full step-by-step walkthrough for the direct approach. It takes under 10 minutes from signup to your first Odoo query:</p>

<li><strong>Prompt 2</strong> — Your task. Example: <em>"List all contacts in the CRM with Stage = Cold. Include name, email, and company. Sort by date added."</em></li>
</ul>
<h3>Option 2 — Model Context Protocol (MCP)</h3>
<p>For multi-tool agents that talk to Odoo alongside GitHub, Slack, Jira, or other services through one unified protocol. An MCP server sits between Hermes and Odoo as a translation layer:</p>

Hermes Agent → MCP Protocol → mcp-server-odoo → Odoo XML-RPC
</div>
<p>Set up takes ~5 minutes: clone the MCP server repo (<a href="https://github.com/ivnvxd/mcp-server-odoo?utm_source=derez">mcp-server-odoo</a>), set env vars with your Odoo credentials, start the server, and register it with Hermes via <code>hermes mcp add</code>. Your agent then discovers tools like <code>search_records</code> and <code>create_record</code> automatically.</p>

<p><strong>Which to choose?</strong> Direct API is faster and simpler for single-ERP setups. MCP shines when your agent already uses MCP for other backends and you want one protocol to rule them all. You can also <strong>run both</strong> — Hermes Agent supports mixed setups where MCP tools and direct integrations coexist in the same session.</p>
<h2>Why Odoo + Hermes Agent?</h2>
<p>Odoo is powerful but navigating its many modules (CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting) takes clicks. Hermes Agent gives you a single text interface to all of it — ask in English, get answers in seconds. Combined with web search and email tools, your agent becomes an autonomous business operations assistant.</p>
