Odoo Hermes Agent — Connect Your ERP to AI

Link your Odoo instance to Hermes Agent and let AI read, write, and automate your business data. CRM, sales orders, invoices — all accessible through natural language prompts.

What You Can Do

📇 Read CRM Contacts

Ask your agent "show me all leads from last week" and get a structured table back — no Odoo UI navigation needed.

📝 Update Records

"Set this lead to Won" or "Add a note to customer #42" — your agent writes directly to Odoo via the API.

📊 Generate Reports

"Show me sales by region this quarter" returns a formatted table your agent can save to Nextcloud or email to you.

⚡ Automate Workflows

Combine Odoo access with web search or SMTP — your agent researches, updates CRM, and sends follow-up emails in one run.

Prerequisites

Integration — Odoo Community (API)

Integration Options

Hermes Agent supports two ways to connect to your Odoo instance. Both work — pick the one that fits your architecture.

Option 1 — Direct API (Recommended for Odoo-Only Setups)

We published a full step-by-step walkthrough for the direct approach. It takes under 10 minutes from signup to your first Odoo query:

In two prompts you go live:

Option 2 — Model Context Protocol (MCP)

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:

Hermes Agent → MCP Protocol → mcp-server-odoo → Odoo XML-RPC

Set up takes ~5 minutes: clone the MCP server repo (mcp-server-odoo), set env vars with your Odoo credentials, start the server, and register it with Hermes via hermes mcp add. Your agent then discovers tools like search_records and create_record automatically.

Which to choose? 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 run both — Hermes Agent supports mixed setups where MCP tools and direct integrations coexist in the same session.

Why Odoo + Hermes Agent?

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.
