By the end, you'll have a working Odoo agent that can list overdue invoices by customer, create lead for new prospect, check low stock inventory items through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Odoo account through Composio's Odoo MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Odoo with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys - Install the required dependencies for Autogen and Composio - Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Odoo - Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams - Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Odoo tools - Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Odoo operations ## What is AutoGen? Autogen is a framework for building multi-agent conversational AI systems from Microsoft. It enables you to create agents that can collaborate, use tools, and maintain complex workflows. Key features include: - Multi-Agent Systems: Build collaborative agent workflows - MCP Workbench: Native support for Model Context Protocol tools - Streaming HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP - AssistantAgent: Pre-built agent class for tool-using assistants ## What is the Odoo MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Odoo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Odoo account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Odoo operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ODOO_CALL_ODOO_JSONRPC` | Odoo JSON-RPC Call | JSON-RPC endpoint for Odoo external API calls. Provides the same functionality as XML-RPC but with JSON encoding. DEPRECATED in v19.0 and scheduled for removal in v20.0 (Fall 2026). Use JSON-2 API at POST /json/2/{model}/{method} instead. | | `ODOO_CREATE_CONTACT` | Create Contact | Create a new contact (customer, supplier, or generic partner) in Odoo's res.partner model. Use this action when you need to add a new person or company to the Odoo database. Set customer_rank > 0 to mark as a customer, supplier_rank > 0 to mark as a supplier, or leave both unset for a generic contact. | | `ODOO_GET_APPLICANT_RESULT` | Get Applicant Parsing Result | Tool to retrieve parsing results for a previously submitted resume/applicant document. Use when you need to check the status and get extracted fields (name, email, phone, mobile) from a resume that was previously submitted for parsing. | | `ODOO_GET_BANK_STATEMENT_RESULT` | Get Bank Statement Result | Tool to retrieve parsing results for a previously submitted bank statement. Returns extracted fields including balance_start, balance_end, date, and bank_statement_lines. Use when you need to check the status and get extracted data from a bank statement document using Odoo's Extract API. | | `ODOO_GET_EXPENSE_RESULT` | Get Expense Extraction Result | Retrieve parsing results for a previously submitted expense document. Returns extracted fields including description, country, date, total, and currency. Use this after submitting an expense document to get the OCR/extraction results. | | `ODOO_GET_INVOICE_RESULT` | Get Invoice Parsing Result | Tool to retrieve parsing results for a previously submitted invoice from Odoo Extract API. Use when you need to check the status and get extracted data from an invoice. Poll this endpoint until the status field is 'success' - processing may take time depending on document complexity. | | `ODOO_LIST_DATABASES` | List Databases | Tool to list all available Odoo databases on the server. Use when you need to see which databases are available on the Odoo instance. | | `ODOO_PARSE_APPLICANT` | Parse Applicant Resume | Tool to submit a resume/CV document for OCR parsing and data extraction via Odoo Extract API. Extracts name, email, phone, and mobile from applicant resumes. Returns a document_token to poll for results. Cost: 1 IAP credit per successful parse. | | `ODOO_PARSE_BANK_STATEMENT` | Parse Bank Statement Document | Tool to submit a bank statement document for OCR parsing and data extraction via Odoo Extract API. Extracts balance_start, balance_end, date, and bank_statement_lines. Returns a document_token to poll for results. Cost: 1 IAP credit per successful parse. | | `ODOO_PARSE_EXPENSE` | Parse Expense Document | Tool to submit an expense document for OCR parsing and data extraction. Extracts description, country, date, total, and currency from expense receipts. Returns a document_token to poll for results. Use when you need to process expense documents using Odoo's Extract API. | | `ODOO_PARSE_INVOICE` | Parse Invoice Document | Tool to submit an invoice document for OCR parsing and data extraction via Odoo Extract API. Uses AI-based algorithms to extract fields like total, due date, invoice lines, VAT numbers, IBAN, supplier, client, and currency. Returns a document_token to poll for results. Cost: 1 IAP credit per successful parse. | | `ODOO_UPDATE_RECORD` | Update Odoo Record | Generic tool to update records across any Odoo model via the JSON-2 API write endpoint. Updates one or more records with the specified field values. Supports all Odoo field types including relational fields with command tuples. Use this action when you need to modify existing records in any Odoo model (contacts, leads, orders, invoices, products, etc.). | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Odoo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Odoo. Instead of manually wiring Odoo APIs, OAuth, and scopes yourself, you get a structured, tool-based interface that an LLM can call safely. With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster. ## Step-by-step Guide ### 1. Prerequisites You will need: - A Composio API key - An OpenAI API key (used by Autogen's OpenAIChatCompletionClient) - A Odoo account you can connect to Composio - Some basic familiarity with Autogen and Python async ### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio OpenAI API Key - Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider. - Keep the API key safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key. - Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication. ### 2. Install dependencies Install Composio, Autogen extensions, and dotenv. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to Odoo via MCP - autogen-agentchat provides the AssistantAgent class - autogen-ext-openai provides the OpenAI model client - autogen-ext-tools provides MCP workbench support ```bash pip install composio python-dotenv pip install autogen-agentchat autogen-ext-openai autogen-ext-tools ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project folder. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY is required to talk to Composio - OPENAI_API_KEY is used by Autogen's OpenAI client - USER_ID is how Composio identifies which user's Odoo connections to use ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key USER_ID=your-user-identifier@example.com ``` ### 4. Import dependencies and create Tool Router session What's happening: - load_dotenv() reads your .env file - Composio(api_key=...) initializes the SDK - create(...) creates a Tool Router session that exposes Odoo tools - session.mcp.url is the MCP endpoint that Autogen will connect to ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Odoo session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["odoo"] ) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 5. Configure MCP parameters for Autogen Autogen expects parameters describing how to talk to the MCP server. That is what StreamableHttpServerParams is for. What's happening: - url points to the Tool Router MCP endpoint from Composio - timeout is the HTTP timeout for requests - sse_read_timeout controls how long to wait when streaming responses - terminate_on_close=True cleans up the MCP server process when the workbench is closed ```python # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) ``` ### 6. Create the model client and agent What's happening: - OpenAIChatCompletionClient wraps the OpenAI model for Autogen - McpWorkbench connects the agent to the MCP tools - AssistantAgent is configured with the Odoo tools from the workbench ```python # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Odoo assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="odoo_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Odoo operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) ``` ### 7. Run the interactive chat loop What's happening: - The script prompts you in a loop with You: - Autogen passes your input to the model, which decides which Odoo tools to call via MCP - agent.run_stream(...) yields streaming messages as the agent thinks and calls tools - Typing exit, quit, or bye ends the loop ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Odoo related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, "content") and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Odoo session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["odoo"] ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Odoo assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="odoo_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Odoo operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Odoo related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, 'content') and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You now have an Autogen assistant wired into Odoo through Composio's Tool Router and MCP. From here you can: - Add more toolkits to the toolkits list, for example notion or hubspot - Refine the agent description to point it at specific workflows - Wrap this script behind a UI, Slack bot, or internal tool Once the pattern is clear for Odoo, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Odoo MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Hubspot](https://composio.dev/toolkits/hubspot) - HubSpot is an all-in-one marketing, sales, and customer service platform.

With a standalone Odoo MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Odoo tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Odoo and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Autogen? Yes, you can. Autogen fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Odoo tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Odoo while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Odoo scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Odoo data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
