## āļø Configuration
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Required | Default | Example |
| ---------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------- | ------- | ----------------------- |
| `ODOO_URL` | Odoo instance URL | Yes | | `https://demo.odoo.com` |
| `ODOO_DATABASE` | Database name | Yes | | `demo_db` |
| `ODOO_API_KEY` | Odoo API key (preferred) | If no password | | `odoo_api_key_abc123` |
| `ODOO_USERNAME` | Odoo username | Yes (for API key & password) | | `admin` |
| `ODOO_PASSWORD` | Odoo password | If no API key | | `admin123` |
| `ODOO_TIMEZONE` | Timezone for dates | No | `UTC` | `Asia/Riyadh` |

### Validation Rules
- URL must start with `http://` or `https://`
- All environment variables are required
- Connection timeout: 30 seconds
## š§ Development
### Key Classes
- `OdooMCPServer`: Main server orchestrator
- `OdooConfig`: Configuration management with validation
- `OdooTools`: MCP tool implementations
- `ConfigValidationError`: Custom exception for configuration errors
### Adding New Tools
To add new MCP tools:
1. Add the tool method to the `OdooTools` class in `tools.py`
2. Use the `@self.mcp.tool()` decorator
3. Include proper type hints and docstrings
## š Security Considerations
- **Credentials**: Store sensitive information in environment variables
- **Validation**: All inputs are validated before processing
- **Error Handling**: Sensitive information is not exposed in error messages
- **Timeouts**: Connection timeouts prevent hanging requests
- **Permissions**: Ensure Odoo user has minimal required permissions
## š¤ Contributing
1. Fork the repository
2. Create a feature branch (`git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature`)
3. Commit your changes (`git commit -m 'Add amazing feature'`)
4. Push to the branch (`git push origin feature/amazing-feature`)
5. Open a Pull Request
### Development Guidelines
- Follow PEP 8 style guidelines
