qod-ppm-odoo-mcp

MCP server for the QOD PPM Odoo plugin.

Exposes the plugin's buttons, wizards, and workflow transitions as MCP tools — the things a generic Odoo CRUD server can't express.

Design

This server is intentionally thin. It does not reimplement Odoo CRUD. Run it alongside a generic Odoo MCP (e.g. ivnvxd/mcp-server-odoo):

Put simply: if there's a button in the Odoo UI that does something non-trivial when clicked, it's a tool here. CRUD wraps fields; this wraps buttons.

Install

pip install qod-ppm-odoo-mcp

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/wethti/qod-ppm-odoo-mcp
cd qod-ppm-odoo-mcp
pip install -e .

Configure

Create a service user in Odoo and give it the PPM groups you need (group_ppm_admin or scoped alternatives). Generate an API key from the user's preferences page. Then set:

export ODOO_URL="https://your-odoo.example.com"
export ODOO_DB="your_db_name"
export ODOO_USERNAME="ppm-service@example.com"
export ODOO_API_KEY="…"   # preferred
# or ODOO_PASSWORD="…"

A .env.example is included.

Run

stdio (default) — for Claude Desktop / Claude Code / anything that spawns an MCP server as a subprocess:

qod-ppm-mcp

Streamable HTTP — for remote access (another VPS, an agent host, etc.):

export QOD_PPM_MCP_TRANSPORT=http
export QOD_PPM_MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0
export QOD_PPM_MCP_PORT=8765
qod-ppm-mcp

Put a reverse proxy with TLS + auth in front if exposed to the internet.

Claude Code / Claude Desktop config

Add to ~/.claude.json (Claude Code) or claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qod-ppm": {
      "command": "qod-ppm-mcp",
      "env": {
        "ODOO_URL": "https://your-odoo.example.com",
        "ODOO_DB": "your_db_name",
        "ODOO_USERNAME": "ppm-service@example.com",
        "ODOO_API_KEY": "…"
      }
    },
    "odoo": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-odoo"],
      "env": {
        "ODOO_URL": "https://your-odoo.example.com",
        "ODOO_DB": "your_db_name",
        "ODOO_USERNAME": "ppm-service@example.com",
        "ODOO_API_KEY": "…"
      }
    }
  }
}

Both servers point to the same Odoo. Claude sees tools namespaced as mcp__qod-ppm__* (workflow actions) and mcp__odoo__* (generic CRUD).

Tool reference

Call ppm_list_action_tools to get the current list at runtime. Groups:

Milestones (ppm.milestone)

• ppm_milestone_start / achieve / miss / cancel / reopen

Status Reports (ppm.status.report + wizard)

• ppm_status_report_generate(project_id, period?, commentary?) — runs the wizard, auto-fills RAG/budget/risks/milestones, creates report

• ppm_status_report_publish(report_id)

• ppm_status_report_reset_draft(report_id)

• ppm_status_report_print_url(report_id) — returns the PDF action

Change Requests (ppm.change.request + reject wizard)

• ppm_change_request_submit / start_review / approve / reset_draft

• ppm_change_request_reject(cr_id, reason) — runs the reject wizard

Risks (ppm.risk)

• Workflow: ppm_risk_start_analysis / start_mitigation / start_monitoring / mark_occurred / close / reopen

• ppm_risk_move_in_matrix(risk_id, probability, impact) — probability and impact are integers 1–5; server recomputes score and level

Issues (risks flagged as issue_type)

• ppm_issue_assign / start / resolve / escalate

Role Assignments (ppm.role.assignment)

• ppm_role_activate / approve_and_activate / revoke / reset_draft (each syncs the Odoo security group)

Exports (wizards → XLSX)

• ppm_export_budget(project_id?, portfolio_id?, date_from?, date_to?, category_id?, include_closed?)

• ppm_export_risks(project_id?, portfolio_id?, risk_level?, include_closed?)

• ppm_export_resources(project_id?, employee_id?, department_id?, date_from?, date_to?, include_cancelled?)

All three return an ir.actions.act_url pointing at /web/content/<id>?download=true.

Client Card Projects

• ppm_create_project_from_template(partner_id, template_id, project_name)

Introspection

• ppm_ping() — auth + basic counts

• ppm_list_action_tools() — self-describing tool list

Compatibility

• Odoo 18.0 Community / Enterprise

• QOD PPM modules: qod_ppm_core, qod_ppm_budget, qod_ppm_change_request, qod_ppm_client_card_projects, qod_ppm_dashboard, qod_ppm_resource, qod_ppm_risk, qod_ppm_roles, qod_ppm_roles_crm, qod_ppm_roles_mrp, qod_ppm_scoring, qod_ppm_status, qod_ppm_task_status
