Aidoo for Odoo

aidoo-mcp

Connect any MCP client to your Odoo ERP through Aidoo.

aidoo-mcp is a small stdio bridge. It takes an Aidoo API key, opens an authenticated session against the hosted Aidoo MCP server, and relays the Model Context Protocol messages in both directions. Your assistant then queries, creates and updates Odoo records in plain language, under the permissions carried by the key.

Why a bridge

The Aidoo MCP server is hosted at https://mcp.aidoo.ai, and clients that support remote connectors with OAuth or custom headers can reach it directly, with nothing to install. Many MCP clients still speak stdio only, or offer no way to set an Authorization header. This bridge fills that gap: one command, no local server, no Odoo credentials on your machine.

MCP client  <--stdio-->  aidoo-mcp  <--HTTPS-->  Aidoo  <--XML-RPC-->  Odoo

The bridge is transparent. It never rewrites payloads, so every tool your workspace exposes is available the moment Aidoo ships it, with no update needed here.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+ (or Node.js 18+, see the Node build below)
• An Aidoo account with an Odoo connection
• An Aidoo API key, prefixed aid_live_, created from the API keys page of your workspace

Install

Run it without installing anything, with uv:

uvx aidoo-mcp --check

Or install it:

pipx install aidoo-mcp

or

pip install aidoo-mcp

Prefer Node over Python? The npm/ directory ships the same bridge for npx, with no Python dependency:

npx aidoo-mcp --check

Check your setup

export AIDOO_API_KEY=aid_live_your_key_here

aidoo-mcp --check

The command verifies that the endpoint answers, performs the MCP handshake and prints the tools your key grants:

[aidoo-mcp] https://mcp.aidoo.ai/health is reachable

[aidoo-mcp] authenticated with https://mcp.aidoo.ai/mcp (transport=http, key=aid_live_...cdef) [aidoo-mcp] 8 tools available: aidoo_context, aidoo_create, aidoo_print, aidoo_query, ...

Configure your client

Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows:

{

"mcpServers": { "aidoo": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["aidoo-mcp"], "env": { "AIDOO_API_KEY": "aid_live_your_key_here" } } } }

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "aidoo": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["aidoo-mcp"], "env": { "AIDOO_API_KEY": "aid_live_your_key_here" } } } }

Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, same block as Cursor.

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{

"servers": { "aidoo": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["aidoo-mcp"], "env": { "AIDOO_API_KEY": "aid_live_your_key_here" } } } }

Any other stdio client

Point it at the aidoo-mcp executable and pass the key through the environment. If the client cannot set environment variables, use the flag instead:

aidoo-mcp --api-key aid_live_your_key_here

Cursor, Windsurf and any client that does accept custom headers can also skip the bridge entirely and target https://mcp.aidoo.ai/sse with an Authorization header. See the Aidoo documentation.

Usage

aidoo-mcp [--api-key KEY] [--url URL] [--transport {http,sse}]

[--timeout SECONDS] [--retries N] [--check] [--quiet]

Logs go to stderr, so they never interfere with the protocol stream on stdout. Exit code 2 means a configuration problem, 1 a connection that could not be established.

Security

• The key is read from the environment or the command line and sent as a bearer token over HTTPS. It is masked in every log line.
• Odoo credentials stay in Aidoo. The bridge never sees them, and never talks to Odoo.
• Each key carries its own permissions, and every call runs under the Odoo access rules of the linked user. Grant only what the assistant needs.
• Use one key per person, never a shared key, and revoke it from the dashboard if in doubt.
• Report a vulnerability privately: see SECURITY.md.

Troubleshooting

`No API key found` The AIDOO_API_KEY variable did not reach the process. Client configuration files often ignore your shell profile, so set the key in the env block shown above.

Handshake fails with 401 The key was revoked, or its MCP permissions are disabled. Check it on the API keys page of your workspace.

The tool list is shorter than expected Tools follow the permissions of the key. Grant the missing ones, then restart your client.

Nothing happens in the client Restart the client completely after editing its configuration, then look at its MCP logs. aidoo-mcp --check tells you within seconds whether the problem is on your side or ours.

A corporate network blocks the connection The bridge needs outbound HTTPS on port 443 to mcp.aidoo.ai. Try --transport sse if an intermediate proxy mishandles streamable HTTP.
