Odoo MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Odoo and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 1,029 Odoo actions (430 reads, 491 writes and 108 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Odoo credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Odoo's limits and records every call.
100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up
Connect Odoo in three steps.
- 01
Add actionlake to Claude.
Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

Top actions
The Odoo API, shaped for agents.

Destructive actions wait for a yes.
108 Odoo actions are destructive. The first 10:
- Delete invoices, bills and journal entries
odoo.journal_entries.delete - Delete payments
odoo.payments.delete - Delete contacts
odoo.partners.delete - Delete expenses
odoo.expenses.delete - Delete RFQs and purchase orders
odoo.purchase_orders.delete - Delete ledger accounts
odoo.accounts.delete - Delete users
odoo.users.delete - Delete access groups
odoo.groups.delete - Delete sales tags
odoo.crm_tags.delete - Delete tasks
odoo.tasks.delete
A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Questions
The Odoo MCP server, answered.
Is there an Odoo MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 1,029 Odoo actions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Odoo.
What do I need to connect Odoo?
Odoo API key: in Odoo open your user menu > Preferences (My Profile) > Account Security > New API Key, give it a…. Plus your database and your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "odoo" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Odoo?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 108 Odoo actions are destructive, including delete invoices, bills and journal entries, delete payments and delete contacts. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.
Will an AI agent use up my Odoo API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Odoo service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (430 Odoo actions can be), which never reaches Odoo.
What does an Odoo action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (1,029 Odoo actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Odoo refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.
Which Odoo API does it cover?
The Odoo 19 External JSON-2 API (/json/2/{model}/{method}) at your Odoo instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Odoo's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 1,029 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Can I combine Odoo with my other systems?
Yes. ask joins Odoo to ConnectWise PSA or HubSpot CRM on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. Odoo maps crm.company, which 227 other connectors also map.
Does actionlake keep my Odoo data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Odoo credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.
Which AI clients can use it?
Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
