Odoo is an open-source ERP and CRM platform for managing sales, accounting, inventory, projects, and customer data. It helps teams run core business operations in one flexible system.

Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Odoo account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list overdue invoices by customer, create lead for new prospect, check low stock inventory items, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

3. Connect your Odoo account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Odoo or give it any Odoo-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List overdue invoices by customer"
  • "Create lead for new prospect"
  • "Check low stock inventory items"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Odoo account is ready to use.

What is the Odoo Claude Connector, 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.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Odoo?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Odoo conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Odoo again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Odoo connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Odoo.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Odoo.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Odoo authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Odoo account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Odoo connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Odoo authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Odoo sign-in.

4. Why do Odoo actions fail after they worked before?

The Odoo connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Odoo connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Odoo account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Odoo.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Odoo itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Odoo account?

Claude can manage the Odoo connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Odoo account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Odoo again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Odoo.
  • Sign in with the other Odoo account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Odoo task.

6. Why is my Odoo connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Odoo connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Odoo tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Odoo.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork 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.

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.

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.
