Live sales figures, overdue invoices, stock levels — from your phone, by asking in plain English. Not through the Odoo app, not through a dashboard. By talking to an AI assistant that reads your Odoo in real time.

The Odoo mobile app is Odoo on a smaller screen. It is useful if you know the system well and need to perform tasks on the go. But for an owner or manager who just needs a number — what did we sell today, who is overdue, is stock running low — navigating Odoo menus on a phone screen is still slow and still assumes you know where to look.
The approach in this guide is different. Instead of navigating Odoo, you ask an AI assistant a question in plain language. The assistant queries your live Odoo and gives you the answer. On your phone. In seconds.
You open Claude or ChatGPT on your phone and type (or dictate) a question. The assistant reads your live Odoo and replies with an answer in plain language. Here are questions you might actually ask:
"What are today's confirmed sales orders?"
"Show me invoices overdue by more than 30 days."
"Which products are below reorder point right now?"
"Who are our top five customers this quarter by revenue?"
"What is the status of order SO-4821?"
"List open opportunities in the pipeline over €10,000."
There is no report to configure, no filter to set, no menu to find. The assistant handles the query, returns the answer, and you move on with your day.
The KSROlabs MCP Server installs on your self-hosted, Odoo.sh, or on-premise instance from the Odoo App Store. For Odoo Online (*.odoo.com), the free Odoo Online MCP Gateway provides the same capability without a module install.
Create a dedicated Odoo user or API key with read-only access to the models you want (sales, invoices, inventory, CRM). This becomes the MCP credential the AI assistant uses — it only ever sees what this account allows.
In Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, or ChatGPT, add the MCP Server endpoint URL and credential. Both apps have native iOS and Android apps, so once connected the capability travels with you.
Open the AI app on your phone. Type or speak your question in plain language. The assistant queries live Odoo and returns the answer — current figures, not yesterday's export.
The KSROlabs MCP Server for Odoo is the secure bridge that lets AI assistants read your live Odoo when you ask them to. It runs inside your Odoo, respects your existing permission structure, and logs what it does. On Odoo Online? The free Odoo Online MCP Gateway does the same without a module install.
The official Odoo mobile app gives you access to Odoo's screens on a smaller display. The AI assistant approach is fundamentally different: instead of navigating screens, you ask a question in natural language and get a direct answer. There is no clicking through menus or knowing where a field lives — just ask and read.
The data is live. The AI assistant queries your Odoo directly at the moment you ask, the same way a staff member running a search in Odoo would. There is no daily export or sync delay.
Claude has native iOS and Android apps and supports MCP connections. ChatGPT has iOS and Android apps. Both can connect to the Odoo MCP Server. You can use whichever AI assistant your team prefers.
Read-only access is the safest starting point and covers most owner use cases. The MCP Server also supports write operations if you need to create or update records — but you control the permission scope, so it is easy to keep it read-only initially.
Yes. Odoo Online cannot install custom modules, so instead of the MCP Server module you use the free, open-source Odoo Online MCP Gateway. It connects AI assistants to Odoo Online via XML-RPC, giving you the same conversational access without any module installation.
It's the difference between a 20-second self-serve answer and a 20-minute (or 20-hour) round trip. You stop being dependent on someone else's availability and attention, and the information is always current rather than as of whenever they last checked.
We set up the connection and support the whole thing. Free setup support included.
