Transport.parse_response() accesses self.verbose for debug logging but it is never initialized unless the standard single_request() flow runs. Our custom request() bypassed that, causing AttributeError on every call. Fix: assign self.verbose = verbose before calling self.parse_response().

Architecture
- Transport: stdio (local Python process)
- API: Odoo XML-RPC at
/xmlrpc/2/— no Odoo module needed - Auth: API key (generated per-user in Odoo profile → Account Security)
- Compatible: Odoo V18 now; V19 JSON/2 API migration path available
Configuration
Credentials are stored in .mcp.json under the env block:
{
"ODOO_URL": "https://mpmedia.odoo.com",
"ODOO_DB": "mpmedia-odoo-sh-main-13285275",
"ODOO_USERNAME": "bgilliom@mpmedia.tv",
"ODOO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
To rotate the API key: generate a new one in Odoo (My Profile → Account Security → API Keys), update .mcp.json, and rebuild the .plugin file.
Rebuilding the Plugin
After making changes to server/odoo_mcp.py, skills/, or .mcp.json:
cd /path/to/odoo-mpm && zip -r odoo-mpm.plugin . -x "*.DS_Store" -x "__pycache__/*" -x "*.pyc" -x ".git/*"
Then reinstall the .plugin file in Cowork.
V19 Upgrade Notes
When upgrading to Odoo V19, the XML-RPC endpoint remains available (removal scheduled for V22). To migrate to the new JSON/2 API, replace the _connect() and _call() functions in server/odoo_mcp.py with HTTP requests to /json/2/<model>/<method> using Bearer token auth.
