What you need first
- Gemini CLI, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own values for
YOUR_ODOO_MCP_ODOO_URL,YOUR_ODOO_MCP_ODOO_DATABASE,YOUR_ODOO_MCP_ODOO_USERNAME,YOUR_ODOO_MCP_ODOO_API_KEY,YOUR_ODOO_MCP_ALLOWED_COMPANY_IDS,YOUR_ODOO_MCP_DEFAULT_COMPANY_ID,YOUR_CONFIG.

Check it worked
Ask Gemini CLI: List the tools of odoo-mcp.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Gemini CLI sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong. - Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
