How do I use mcp-oda?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-oda Add two liters of whole milk and a dozen eggs to my cart" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Installation

Usage

Initial Setup

First, you need to authenticate with your Oda account using the auth subcommand:

# Open browser for authentication npx github:gbbirkisson/mcp-oda auth # The browser will open - log in to your Oda account # Close the browser when done

Alternatively, you can provide your credentials for automated login:

npx github:gbbirkisson/mcp-oda auth --user your@email.com --pass yourpassword

You can verify your login status using the user command:

npx github:gbbirkisson/mcp-oda user

Troubleshooting

Session not persisting

If your login session is not persisting between runs:

Try running with the clean subcommand to remove old session data:
npx github:gbbirkisson/mcp-oda clean
Re-authenticate with auth:
npx github:gbbirkisson/mcp-oda auth
Make sure you're using the same --data-dir for all commands if you've overridden the default.

Browser issues

If you encounter browser-related issues, use the clean command and re-install playwright binaries:

# Clean browser data npx github:gbbirkisson/mcp-oda clean # Re-install browser npx playwright install chromium # Re-authenticate npx github:gbbirkisson/mcp-oda auth
