Interact with Live Odoo Data in Meta Muse via CData Connect AI

Use the CData Connect AI Remote MCP Server to enable Muse to securely interact with live Odoo data.

Muse is Meta's personal AI agent for iOS, Android, and the web, built on the Muse Spark models. It connects to remote model context protocol (MCP) servers, so you can point Muse at a governed data source and let it discover and call live data tools.

Connect Muse to CData Connect AI through its Remote MCP Server, and Muse gains governed, real-time access to live Odoo data. You can explore data, fetch records, and interact with objects using natural language prompts, with every request running against authorized sources.

This article shows you how to configure Odoo connectivity in Connect AI, generate a personal access token, create a custom connector to the Connect AI Remote MCP Server in Muse, and interact with live Odoo data from Muse.

About Odoo Data Integration

Accessing and integrating live data from Odoo has never been easier with CData. Customers rely on CData connectivity to:

  • Access live data from both Odoo API 8.0+ and Odoo.sh Cloud ERP.
  • Extend the native Odoo features with intelligent handling of many-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many data properties. CData's connectivity solutions also intelligently handle complex data properties within Odoo. In addition to columns with simple values like text and dates, there are also columns that contain multiple values on each row. The driver decodes these kinds of values differently, depending upon the type of column the value comes from:
    • Many-to-one columns are references to a single row within another model. Within CData solutions, many-to-one columns are represented as integers, whose value is the ID to which they refer in the other model.
    • Many-to-many columns are references to many rows within another model. Within CData solutions, many-to-many columns are represented as text containing a comma-separated list of integers. Each value in that list is the ID of a row that is being referenced.
    • One-to-many columns are references to many rows within another model - they are similar to many-to-many columns (comma-separated lists of integers), except that each row in the referenced model must belong to only one in the main model.
  • Use SQL stored procedures to call server-side RFCs within Odoo.

Users frequently integrate Odoo with analytics tools such as Power BI and Qlik Sense, and leverage our tools to replicate Odoo data to databases or data warehouses.


Getting Started


Step 1: Configure Odoo connectivity for Meta Muse

Connectivity to Odoo from Muse is made possible through Connect AI's Remote MCP Server. To interact with Odoo data from Muse, start by creating and configuring a Odoo connection in Connect AI.

  1. Log into Connect AI, click Sources, and then click Add Connection
    2. Adding a connection in Connect AI
  2. Select Odoo from the Add Connection panel
    3. Selecting data source
  3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Odoo.

    To connect, set the Url to a valid Odoo site, User and Password to the connection details of the user you are connecting with, and Database to the Odoo database.

    Configuring a connection (Salesforce is shown)
  4. Click Save & Test
  5. Navigate to the Permissions tab and update user-based permissions
    6. Updating permissions

Add a Personal Access Token

A Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect AI from Muse. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each integration to maintain granular access control.

  1. Click the gear icon () at the top right of the Connect AI app to open Settings
  2. On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT
  3. Give the PAT a descriptive name and click Create
    4. Creating a new PAT
  4. Copy the token when displayed and store it securely. It will not be shown again

With the Odoo connection configured and a PAT generated, Muse can now connect to Odoo data through Connect AI.

Step 2: Create a custom connector to the Connect AI MCP Server in Meta Muse

Muse has no manual "add MCP server" form. Instead, you ask Muse in plain language to build a custom connector that points at the Connect AI Remote MCP Server, a hosted, public HTTPS endpoint that speaks streamable HTTP. Muse builds the connector on its secure VM using the official MCP SDK, then discovers and calls the available Connect AI data tools.

  1. Open Muse on iOS, Android, or the web and start a new chat
  2. Ask Muse to build a custom connector to the Connect AI Remote MCP Server, giving it the server URL and noting that the endpoint is a hosted MCP server over streamable HTTP, for example:
    Create a custom connector to CData Connect AI. It is a hosted MCP server over streamable HTTP at https://mcp.cloud.cdata.com/mcp and it requires an Authorization header.
  3. When Muse prompts for credentials, it opens a secure entry flow, separate from the chat, that saves the value in its Secure Credentials Store. Enter the Authorization header value in the format Basic your_base64_encoded_email_PAT

    Note: For the Authorization value, base64 encode email:PAT and prefix it with Basic. Enter it only in Muse's secure credential prompt, never in the chat.

  4. Muse connects to the Connect AI MCP Server and lists the available data tools. Review the custom connector confirmation, then click Continue. When Muse offers to save the integration as a skill, choose yes so the connector is available in every future chat Click Continue

With the custom connector saved, the Connect AI tools are available to Muse in any chat.

Step 3: Interact with live Odoo data from Meta Muse

With the integration complete, interact with live Odoo data directly from Muse through natural language prompts.

  1. In a Muse chat, type a prompt that uses the Connect AI connector, for example:
    • Use the CData Connect AI connector to list all available connections
    • Show the available objects and fields for Odoo
    • Fetch the top 5 records from Odoo
  2. Approve the tool call in the Sentinel dialog when prompted
  3. Muse calls the Connect AI MCP Server and returns live results from Odoo data Querying live data from Muse

At this point, Muse communicates with the Connect AI MCP Server and retrieves live Odoo data through remote MCP tools directly from your chats.
