    What Is Odoo Hermes?

    +

    + Odoo Hermes is the integration between Odoo ERP and + Hermes AI Agent. It gives your AI agent direct access to your + Odoo database — CRM contacts, sales orders, inventory levels, invoices, and more — + all through natural language prompts. +

    +

    + Instead of clicking through Odoo's module menus to find a customer or generate a + report, you just ask your agent. "Show me all leads from last week." "What's the + total value of open quotes?" "Create a new invoice for ACME Corp." Your agent + handles the API calls and returns the answer. +

    +

    + There are three ways to set up the connection, each with different + trade-offs. The full comparison article + covers all three in detail, but here's the quick summary: +

    + +
    +
    +

    XML-RPC Direct

    + ~3 min setup · Lowest latency +

    Configure Odoo credentials in Hermes and the agent calls the API directly. Best for quick queries, demos, and prototyping.

    +
    +
    +

    Odoo MCP CLI

    + ~5 min setup · Standard protocol +

    Run mcp-server-odoo and register with Hermes. Best for multi-tool agents that already use MCP for other services.

    +
    +
    +

    n8n Pipeline

    + ~10 min setup · Highest determinism +

    Hermes delegates Odoo operations to n8n workflows. Best for production business processes where every step must be predictable.

    +
    +
    +

    Speed Run

    + ~10 min · Full walkthrough +

    From zero to an Odoo-connected agent. Follow the Odoo Speed Run for the complete beginner-friendly guide.

    +
    +
    + +

    Why Use Odoo Hermes?

    + +

    One Interface, All Modules

    +

    + Odoo has CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting, Manufacturing, and 30+ other modules. + Each has its own UI, filters, and reports. Odoo Hermes collapses them all into a + single text interface. Ask once, get answers from any module. +

    + +

    Automate Repetitive Tasks

    +

    + Instead of logging into Odoo every morning to check new leads, update stages, and + generate reports, your agent does it on a schedule. Set up a cron job + that runs "Pull all new leads from last 24 hours, categorize them by industry, and + save the result to my dashboard" — and it happens automatically at 08:00 every day. +

    + +

    Combine Odoo with Other Tools

    +

    + Hermes Agent isn't limited to Odoo. It also browses the web, sends emails, reads + files, and runs code. Your agent can research a prospect on LinkedIn, + check their CRM record in Odoo, draft a personalized email, and send it — all in + one session. +

    + +

    No Code Required

    +

    + You don't need to write Python scripts, build API integrations, or maintain + middleware. Configure once in config.yaml and your agent is ready. + The entire setup takes about 10 minutes. +

    + +
    + +

    Step-by-Step Setup (XML-RPC Direct)

    +

    + This is the fastest path — one config block and your agent talks to Odoo directly. + For the MCP or n8n approaches, see the full comparison guide. +

    + +

    Prerequisites

    +

    Have these ready before you start:

    +
      +
    • Your Odoo instance URL (e.g. https://your-instance.odoo4projects.com)
      • +
    • Odoo username and password (create a dedicated agent user — never use admin)
      • +
    • Hermes Agent installed and running
      • +
    + +

    Step 1 — Generate an API Key

    +

    + In Odoo, go to Settings → Users → select your agent user → Technical. + Scroll to Security and click Generate API Key. + Name it hermes-agent and copy the key immediately — Odoo only shows it once. +

    + +

    Step 2 — Configure Hermes

    +

    Add this block to your ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

    + 
    odoo:
+  url: "https://your-instance.odoo4projects.com"
+  db: "your-database"
+  user: "agent@company.com"
+  api_key: "your-api-key"
+  readonly: true
    +

    + Set readonly: true for first setup. Remove it once you're confident + and need the agent to create or update records. +

    + +

    Step 3 — Give Your Agent the Prompt

    +

    Start Hermes and paste this prompt:

    + 
    Connect to the ODOO 19 database with the credentials $ODOO_URL $ODOO_USER $ODOO_APIKEY
    + +

    Step 4 — Verify

    +

    Ask your agent a simple question to confirm the connection works:

    + 
    Give me a list of customers with their email addresses.
    +

    If everything is configured correctly, the agent returns live data from your Odoo instance:

    + 
    1. Azure Interior — azure.interior@example.com
+2. Deco Addict — deco.addict@example.com
+3. Gem Furniture — gem.furniture@example.com
+4. Lumber Inc — lumber.inc@example.com
+Total: 8 customers in CRM
    + +

    That's it. Three minutes, one config block, and your agent talks to Odoo.

    + +

    What to Try Next

    +
      +
    • "Show me all leads in the CRM" — pulls from crm.lead
      • +
    • "List my recent sales orders" — queries sale.order
      • +
    • "What products are low on stock?" — checks stock.quant
      • +
    • "What's the total value of open quotes?" — sums draft sale orders
      • +
    + +
    + +

    Frequently Asked Questions

    + +
    +

    What is Odoo Hermes?

    +

    Odoo Hermes is the integration between Odoo ERP and Hermes AI Agent. It allows your AI agent to read, write, and automate data across Odoo modules — CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting — through natural language prompts instead of clicking through the Odoo UI.

    +
    + +
    +

    How do I connect Odoo to Hermes Agent?

    +

    There are three ways: XML-RPC direct — configure Odoo credentials in Hermes config.yaml and the agent calls the API directly. Odoo MCP CLI — run mcp-server-odoo and register with Hermes. n8n pipeline — delegate Odoo operations to deterministic n8n workflows. The right choice depends on whether you need speed (XML-RPC), standardization (MCP), or determinism (n8n).

    +
    + +
    +

    Is Odoo Hermes free?

    +

    Hermes Agent is open-source and free. Odoo Community Edition is also free with no per-user fees. You only pay for hosting — derez.ai offers managed agents starting at $9.50/month. Use coupon code blog950 for your first month free.

    +
    + +
    +

    Which integration method is best for production?

    +

    The n8n pipeline is the most production-ready. Every Odoo operation runs through a deterministic workflow — check customer exists, then check product, then create invoice. This prevents the LLM from chaining API calls in unexpected ways. Use XML-RPC for quick queries and demos, n8n for business-critical operations like invoicing and order management.

    +
    + +
    +

    Can Odoo Hermes write to my database?

    +

    Yes, but you control it. Set readonly: true in the config for read-only access. Remove it to allow create/update operations. Always create a dedicated Odoo user for the agent with restricted model access — never use an admin account.

    +
    + +
    +

    What Odoo versions does Odoo Hermes support?

    +

    The XML-RPC and JSON-RPC APIs work with Odoo 15 through 19, including Odoo Community Edition and Odoo Enterprise. The MCP server supports Odoo 17+. The n8n approach works with any version that exposes a webhook-compatible API.

    +
    + +
    +

    Can I schedule Odoo Hermes to run automatically?

    +

    Yes. Hermes Agent has built-in cron job support. You can schedule prompts like "Check for new leads every hour and alert me if there are more than 5" or "Generate a weekly sales report every Monday at 09:00." The agent runs autonomously and sends you the results.
