Hosted MCP Server for Odoo

Set Up Your Odoo Environment

Create Your Odoo Database

1. Access Odoo: Visit Odoo’s website and sign in to your account (or create one if needed)

2. Create a new database:

   • Choose a descriptive database name (e.g., my-business-db)
   • Select your preferred region and language
   • Install essential modules based on your needs:
     • CRM for customer relationship management
     • Sales for order processing
     • Inventory for stock management
     • Accounting for financial operations

3. Record your connection details:
   • Instance URL: Your Odoo instance URL (e.g., https://your-company.odoo.com)
   • Database name: The database you just created
   • Username: Your Odoo account email
   • Authentication: Your Odoo account password or generate an API key in your user settings (recommended for security)

💡 Pro Tip: Use an API key instead of your password for enhanced security and easier credential management.

Security Considerations
