|

Earlier this week we showed you a <a href="https://derez.ai/blog/posts/speed-run-odoo-community-agent.html">speed run connecting Hermes Agent to Odoo via direct XML-RPC</a> —
|
||||
a dedicated Odoo user, direct API calls, no middle layer. That's the approach we recommend for production.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
But there's another way: <strong>the Model Context Protocol (MCP)</strong>. Instead of the agent talking directly
|
||||
to Odoo's API, an MCP server sits in between as a translation layer. The agent talks MCP, the MCP server talks
|
||||
XML-RPC to Odoo. It's an open standard from Anthropic, adopted by Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, and now
|
||||
<strong>Hermes Agent</strong>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This speed run walks through the MCP approach in 5 steps. Clone, configure, connect, done.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="pro-tip">
|
||||
<p><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> We covered the <a href="https://derez.ai/blog/posts/direct-odoo-api-vs-mcp.html">direct API vs MCP trade-offs in detail here</a>.
|
||||
TL;DR: Direct access wins on security, latency, and flexibility for single-ERP setups. MCP shines when your agent
|
||||
needs to talk to many different tools through one protocol. Pick the right tool for your use case.</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>How It Works</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The architecture is simple:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre><code>Hermes Agent → MCP Protocol → mcp-server-odoo → Odoo XML-RPC</code></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The MCP server (<code>mcp-server-odoo</code> by <a href="https://github.com/ivnvxd/mcp-server-odoo?utm_source=derez">ivnvxd</a>, 300+ GitHub stars)
|
||||
exposes a set of tools — <code>search_records</code>, <code>create_record</code>, <code>read_record</code>,
|
||||
<code>count_records</code>, <code>inspect_model</code> — that your agent can call. It runs locally on your
|
||||
Hermes instance and communicates over HTTP (streamable-http transport).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
|
||||
<p>You'll need an Odoo instance with XML-RPC enabled and an API key. Grab a free trial from
|
||||
<a href="https://ODOO4projects.com?utm_source=derez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ODOO4projects.com</a> if you don't have one.</p>

<li><strong>Database</strong> — <code>006-003-1d9183bb-8430-41a8-85a3-842b2b4d279d</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Hermes Agent</strong> — Any Hermes instance (derez.ai or self-hosted) running on Linux</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Step 1 — Clone the MCP Server</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The MCP server runs on your <strong>local machine</strong> — the same server where Hermes Agent is installed.
|
||||
It does <em>not</em> run on the Odoo server itself.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/ivnvxd/mcp-server-odoo.git
|
||||
cd mcp-server-odoo</code></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The repo has 315 stars, 144 forks, and 198 commits as of this writing. It's actively maintained and supports
|
||||
Odoo 16.0+ with both standard (MCP module) and YOLO (direct XML-RPC) modes.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Step 2 — Install Dependencies</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The recommended way to run it is via <code>uvx</code> (from the <code>uv</code> Python package manager).
|
||||
If you don't have uv installed:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre><code>curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh</code></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
That's it — <code>uvx mcp-server-odoo</code> handles the rest automatically.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Step 3 — Create the Startup Script</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Create a bash script that sets the environment variables and launches the MCP server in
|
||||
<strong>YOLO read-only mode</strong> (no MCP module needed on the Odoo side):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
|
||||
# Odoo MCP configuration
|
||||
export ODOO_URL="https://006-003-1d9183bb-8430-41a8-85a3-842b2b4d279d.odoo4projects.com/"
|
||||
export ODOO_DB="006-003-1d9183bb-8430-41a8-85a3-842b2b4d279d"
|
||||
export ODOO_USER="changeme@odoo4projects.com"
|
||||
export ODOO_API_KEY="602e6ea0a0adda65b344a282495da3b05525f63f"
|
||||
export ODOO_READONLY=1
|
||||
export ODOO_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
|
||||
export ODOO_MCP_PORT=8000
|
||||
export ODOO_YOLO=read
|
||||
|
||||
uvx mcp-server-odoo</code></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Save this as <code>run-odoo-mcp.sh</code>, make it executable (<code>chmod +x run-odoo-mcp.sh</code>), and
|
||||
run it. The server starts on <code>http://localhost:8000/mcp</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="pro-tip">
|
||||
<p><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> YOLO mode (<code>ODOO_YOLO=read</code>) bypasses the need for the Odoo MCP module.
|
||||
This is great for testing and speed runs. For production, install the
|
||||
<a href="https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/19.0/mcp_server?utm_source=derez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Odoo MCP module</a>
|
||||
on your Odoo instance and set <code>ODOO_YOLO=off</code> for full security controls.</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Step 4 — Register the MCP Server with Hermes</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
With the MCP server running, tell Hermes Agent about it:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre><code>hermes mcp add odoo --url http://localhost:8000/mcp</code></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This registers the MCP endpoint with Hermes. From now on, any Hermes session can discover the Odoo tools
|
||||
automatically. The <code>hermes mcp add</code> command takes a name (we used <code>odoo</code>) and the
|
||||
server's URL.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To verify it worked:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre><code>hermes mcp list</code></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You should see <code>odoo</code> listed with status <code>connected</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Step 5 — Start Hermes and Use the Tools</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Start a Hermes session and ask your agent to work with Odoo:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre><code>hermes run</code></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Then in the chat, try something like:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre><code>Show me my 5 most recent leads from Odoo CRM.</code></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The agent discovers the available MCP tools, calls <code>search_records</code> on the
|
||||
<code>crm.lead</code> model, and returns the results. Same goes for partners, products, invoices,
|
||||
sales orders — any model your Odoo user has access to.
|
||||
</p>

<h2>Wrap Up</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In 5 steps and about 5 minutes, you connected Hermes Agent to Odoo through the Model Context Protocol.
|
||||
Clone the repo, set the env vars, start the server, register with Hermes, and your agent can query
|
||||
CRM leads, partners, products, invoices — anything your Odoo user has access to.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Which approach should you use?
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Direct API</strong> — if Hermes Agent is your only tool and Odoo is your only backend. Faster,
|
||||
no middle layer, full model access.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>MCP</strong> — if you're building a multi-tool agent (Odoo + GitHub + Notion + Slack) and want
|
||||
one protocol to rule them all.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Both work. Both connect your agent to live Odoo data. Both take under 10 minutes. The right choice
|
||||
depends on your architecture.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="pro-tip">
|
||||
<p><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> You can run both. Use MCP for the tools that benefit from a unified protocol
|
||||
(docs, chat, code repos) and direct API for Odoo. Hermes Agent supports mixed setups — MCP tools and
|
||||
direct integrations coexist in the same session. Pick the best connection for each backend.</p>
