Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks. This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Odoo account to Cowork 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. ## 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) - [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) ## Connect Odoo to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Odoo to Claude Cowork 1. Open Customize In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. 2. Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Cowork? Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools. With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Odoo through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## 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 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.

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 connects Claude Cowork to your Odoo account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Odoo tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## 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) - [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 Claude Cowork? 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. ### 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)
