# ERPipe

> Hosted Odoo gateway and governance control plane for MCP-compatible AI agents.
> Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, or custom MCP clients to live Odoo with
> OAuth, field policy, write gates, human approval, audit, usage, and event queues.

## Product summary

ERPipe is a multi-tenant SaaS that sits between approved AI clients (via the Model Context Protocol) and live Odoo instances. Operators keep Odoo as the system of record and ACLs as authoritative; ERPipe adds a hosted control plane so agents can search, analyze, open documents, prepare governed changes, and receive webhook events without rebuilding OAuth, policy, approval, and audit for every client.

Primary keywords / categories:
- Odoo MCP server / Odoo MCP gateway
- Connect ChatGPT to Odoo
- Connect Claude / Cursor / Codex to Odoo
- Governed AI access to ERP
- Human-in-the-loop Odoo writes
- Multi-instance Odoo workspace for AI agents
- Build vs buy Odoo MCP
- Odoo MCP server alternatives

## Who it is for

- Odoo operators and ERP admins who want AI agents on live data without blind write access
- Finance / ops teams that need invoice review, PO match, and document-backed workflows
- Internal AI platform teams standardizing one governed Odoo connection across agents
- Consultants and integrators who need a hosted alternative to a custom MCP bridge

## Core capabilities

1. Discover — models, fields, schema catalogs, ACL visibility
2. Query — search/read live records, server-side aggregates, domains
3. Documents — attachments and bounded QWeb PDF reports
4. Actions — preview/validate create-write-unlink; approval inbox; method allowlists
5. Events — signed Odoo webhooks into a pull/ack queue (no autonomous agent wake)
6. Diagnose — call diagnosis, JSON-2 migration preview, fit-gap style inputs

Runtime proof points:
- 32 MCP tools
- 7 guided workflows
- 4 resource forms
- Operator control plane (approvals, audit, usage, policy, lifecycle)

## Governance defaults

- Writes OFF by default
- OAuth S256 PKCE, workspace-bound grants, separate read/write scopes
- Odoo user ACLs and record rules remain authoritative
- Field allow/deny policy layered on top
- Ambiguous write outcomes marked unknown — no blind retry
- Full tool-call audit with redacted, bounded operational detail

## Compatibility

- Intended Odoo path: 16–18 via XML-RPC; 19 via JSON-2
- Clients: ChatGPT (primary), Claude, Codex, Cursor, MCP Inspector, custom agents
- Canonical MCP endpoint: https://mcp.erpipe.com/mcp
- Public HTTPS Odoo only; live health probe required before activation
