Context Layer for Odoo

Quickstart.

Clone the open standard, run the CLI against ten candidate examples, and wire the example MCP server into your agent. Everything here works today with no key and no account; the verified 171-entry runtime is live at api.context.nanti.ai on a free 7-day trial.

OCL standard v0 · Odoo 19 Updated 13 August 2026

The open standard is on GitHub under Apache-2.0. You can adopt the format, inspect real context, and demonstrate the MCP interface in a couple of minutes, with no key and no account.

What you get today vs with a free trial

Everything on this page runs against ten public candidate example entries for Odoo 19. That is enough to adopt the format and build an integration. The verified 171-entry runtime is live at api.context.nanti.ai, self-serve on a free 7-day trial: try one decision with no login at the demo, then start a free 7-day trial to call all five operations over REST or remote MCP. For the exact connect commands, see Use the live runtime.

1. Clone the standard

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/Nantiai/ocl-standard.git
cd ocl-standard

The repository holds the format spec/, the reference/ Python validator and example implementations, the conformance/ suite, and the docs/ guides.

2. Inspect context from the CLI

Ask the example server the same questions an agent would, and read exactly what it returns:

Terminal window
python reference/python/ocl_examples.py get-context "What is revenue?"
python reference/python/ocl_examples.py resolve-noun "vendor bill"
python reference/python/ocl_examples.py explain-field account.move invoice_user_id

Every command runs against the ten candidate examples. This is the fastest way to see what a context pack actually looks like.

3. Wire the MCP server into your agent

Point any MCP client at the example server. It exposes the real OCL operations over the same ten examples:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ocl-public-examples": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/ocl-standard/reference/python/ocl_examples.py",
        "serve-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The public example server exposes get_context, resolve_noun, and explain_field. The full contract also defines get_join_path and validate_write_intent, which are served by the verified runtime.

4. Validate your own entries

Install the reference validator and check entries against the format:

Terminal window
python -m pip install -e sdk/python
from ocl_spec import validate_entry, ValidationError


# document = your entry; schema = the loaded entry JSON Schema
errors = validate_entry(document, schema)

Where to go next

  • Use the live runtime: start a free trial and point Claude Code, Codex, REST, or Python at the verified 171-entry runtime.
  • Consuming the layer: the operations, surfaces, and how they fit a real stack.
  • Entry anatomy: the shape of a single verified fact.
  • The open format: the spec, schemas, conformance, and the public-standard versus commercial-registry boundary.
