## Available MCP Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `list_models` | List all MCP-enabled Odoo models |
| `search_records` | Search records with domain filters |
| `get_record` | Get a single record by ID |
| `create_record` | Create a new record |
| `update_record` | Update an existing record |
| `delete_record` | Delete a record |
| `count_records` | Count records matching a domain |
| `browse_records` | Get multiple records by IDs |
| `create_bulk` | Create multiple records at once |

---

## Usage Examples

Once configured, ask your AI assistant:

```
"Show me all customers from Spain"
"Create a new contact named John Doe at Acme Corp"
"Find unpaid invoices from last month over $1000"
"Update the phone number for partner ID 42"
"How many products do we have in stock?"
"Delete the draft quotation SO0123"
```

---

## YOLO Mode (Development)

For development/testing, enable YOLO mode to bypass MCP model restrictions:

```json
{
  "env": {
    "ODOO_YOLO": "read"
  }
}
```

| Mode | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `off` | Normal - only configured models accessible |
| `read` | Can read ANY model without MCP config |
| `true` | Full access to ALL models (dangerous!) |

⚠️ **Warning:** YOLO mode bypasses MCP restrictions but still respects Odoo user permissions.

---

## Getting Your API Key

1. Go to **Settings > MCP Server** in Odoo
2. Click **Manage API Keys**
3. Create a new API key for your user
4. Copy the key (shown only once!)

---

## Troubleshooting

### Connection Failed
- Check `ODOO_URL` is accessible
- Ensure MCP Server module is installed and enabled
- Verify API key is valid

### Model Not Found
- Ensure model is enabled in **MCP Server > Enabled Models**
- Check if YOLO mode should be enabled for development

### Permission Denied
- Verify API key user has access to the model
- Check model permissions (read/write/create/delete)
