Imagine asking your ERP system:
“How many sales did we have last month?”
…and getting a precise answer back in seconds. Or telling it:
“Generate all pending invoices and email them tomorrow.”
…and watching the entire process happen automatically.
This is no longer science fiction. Thanks to emerging technologies like the Model Context Protocol (MCP), we can now connect powerful AI tools directly with systems like Odoo, giving businesses a conversational way to get things done faster and smarter.
What is MCP?
In simple terms, Model Context Protocol is a standard that lets Large Language Models (LLMs) (like ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) talk directly to your business systems — securely and with structured context. Instead of the AI guessing what to do, MCP lets us define precise “actions” (called tools or functions) that the AI can call. Think of it as giving your AI assistant buttons it can safely press in your ERP.
Why MCP and Odoo are a Perfect Match
Odoo is a highly modular, API-friendly ERP. Using MCP we can bridge the gap between natural language (what humans speak) and structured ERP actions (what Odoo understands). Of course that migrating Odoo is very important for performance and security reasons, but can do this with any Odoo version, you can have this working for you very fast, no need to wait for migration.
With MCP, your team can:
Ask business questions in plain English (or any language). → “List all top customers by revenue this year.” → “Show me overdue vendor bills over $5,000.”
Trigger operational actions automatically. → “Create a new sale order for customer ABC.” → “Validate and send all invoices scheduled for tomorrow.”
Get insights and reports on-demand. → “How many new leads did we get last month?” → “What’s the stock level for our best-selling products?”
Instead of navigating Odoo menus or searching for the right report, your staff can simply… ask.
Real Use Cases We’re Building
Here are just a few practical examples we can implement for our clients today: Sales & Reporting → “Give me a report of sales by country for Q2.” → “Which salespeople hit their targets last month?”
Accounting Automation → “Post all draft invoices and send them to customers.” → “Show me unpaid invoices older than 60 days.”
Inventory & Logistics → “List products with stock below minimum levels.” → “Create a purchase order for item X to replenish stock.”
CRM & Customer Service → “Find all leads older than 7 days.” → “Create a task for the sales team to follow up on lead John Smith.”
Data Updates & Bulk Actions → “Update all products in category ‘Electronics’ to have a 10% discount.” → “Deactivate all customers with no sales in the past 2 years.”
These are not just chatbots that talk to Odoo. They’re intelligent agents that can act, securely, following business logic, permissions, and validations.
Our In-House Expertise
We specialize in integrating Odoo with AI tools using protocols like MCP. We design:
- Secure connections between AI and Odoo
- Custom “tools” the AI can safely execute
- Fine-tuned prompts and context for accurate business responses
- Logging, monitoring, and approval workflows so that AI-triggered actions remain under control
We believe MCP represents the next leap in business productivity. It’s how businesses can finally talk to their systems instead of learning how to operate them.
