Verdict

Pick Odoo Claude MCP if you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install, and you need the broadest set of tools.

Pick mcp-atlassian (community Jira/Confluence) if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine.

Add Odoo Claude MCP

Install / run

claude mcp add odoo-mcp --url https://your-domain.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odoo-claude-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",

        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
