Parameter Formatting Guidelines

When using the MCP tools for Odoo, pay attention to these parameter formatting guidelines:

1. Domain Parameter:

   • The following domain formats are supported:
     • List format: [["field", "operator", value], ...]
     • Object format: {"conditions": [{"field": "...", "operator": "...", "value": "..."}]}
     • JSON string of either format
   • Examples:
     • List format: [["is_company", "=", true]]
     • Object format: {"conditions": [{"field": "date_order", "operator": ">=", "value": "2025-03-01"}]}
     • Multiple conditions: [["date_order", ">=", "2025-03-01"], ["date_order", "<=", "2025-03-31"]]

2. Fields Parameter:

   • Should be an array of field names: ["name", "email", "phone"]
   • The server will try to parse string inputs as JSON
