Vodoo - Odoo CLI Tool

Use uvx vodoo to interact with Odoo via XML-RPC. No installation required - uvx runs it directly.

Important: Always Use --no-color

ALWAYS add --no-color to every vodoo command. This disables ANSI escape codes and significantly reduces token usage.

# Correct
uvx vodoo --no-color helpdesk list

# Wrong (wastes tokens on color codes)
uvx vodoo helpdesk list

Generic Model Operations

For any Odoo model not covered by specific commands:

# Read records

uvx vodoo model read res.partner --ids 1,2,3

# Create record
uvx vodoo model create res.partner name="ACME Corp" is_company=true

uvx vodoo model update res.partner 123 phone="+1234567890"

# Assign user to Vodoo API groups
uvx vodoo security assign-bot 456

# Set/reset user password
uvx vodoo security set-password 456 "new-password"

Common Options

Most commands support:

• --no-color - Required for AI usage (put right after vodoo)
• --limit N - Limit results
• --help - Show command help

Field Updates

The set command supports special operators for numerical fields:

• field=value - Set to value
• field+=10 - Add to current value
• field-=5 - Subtract from current value
• field*=2 - Multiply current value
• field/=2 - Divide current value

Tips

1. Always use --no-color flag (saves tokens by removing ANSI codes)
2. Use fields command to discover available fields before updating
3. Stage names are case-sensitive and must match exactly
4. The model command can access any Odoo model if you know its technical name
