order, transitioning from "draft" to "purchase" state. This locks the order, notifies the vendor, and creates an incoming receipt (stock.picking) for warehouse processing. Use when the user approves a vendor quote or wants to place the order. Confirm a draft RFQ, converting it into a confirmed purchase order and triggering receipt creation
order in "draft" state (an RFQ). The partnerId must be an existing vendor (res.partner with supplier_rank > 0) — use odoo_search_vendors to find vendor IDs. Lines must be a JSON array: [{"product_id": <id>, "product_qty": <qty>, "price_unit": <cost>}]. Each line also gets an auto-generated description. Create a new purchase order (as a draft RFQ) for a vendor with product lines, quantities, and prices
order.line records for the given PO. Returns each line with product name, ordered quantity, unit cost, subtotal, and planned delivery date. Use to inspect what is being purchased, verify pricing, or check delivery schedules per line item. Get the individual line items of a purchase order showing products, quantities, costs, and expected delivery dates
order with all key fields. Use after listing POs to drill into a specific order for vendor details, amounts, and expected receipt dates. Get the complete details of a specific purchase order by its numeric ID
order records ordered by creation date. Returns PO number, vendor name, state (draft/sent/purchase/done/cancel), total and untaxed amounts, responsible buyer, expected receipt date, and order date. Filter by state to see only draft RFQs, confirmed POs, or completed orders. Use when the user asks about procurement activity, pending orders, or vendor purchases. List purchase orders in Odoo with vendor, amounts, buyer, and current processing status
order records in "draft" state only. These are RFQs that need vendor pricing, negotiation, or approval before being confirmed. Use when the user asks specifically about pending RFQs, quotes from vendors, or procurement requests awaiting approval. List all Requests for Quotation (draft purchase orders) that have not yet been confirmed to vendors
partner records where supplier_rank > 0 — these are partners flagged as vendors/suppliers. Returns vendor name, email, phone, city, and country. Use to find vendor IDs before creating purchase orders, or when the user asks about supplier information. Search for vendors and suppliers in Odoo by name, returning contact details and location
Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Odoo Purchase becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Odoo Purchase tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
Which Odoo versions are supported?
This server uses the JSON-RPC protocol, which is compatible with Odoo 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. Both Odoo Community and Enterprise editions are supported.
Does it work with Odoo.com (SaaS)?
Yes! Works with both Odoo.com hosted instances and self-hosted Odoo servers. Just provide your instance URL and API key.
How do I generate an API Key?
Go to Settings → Users → select your user → API Keys tab → New API Key. Give it a descriptive name and copy the generated key.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
