Set up Odie MCP in an AI client

Who can use this feature?

  • Odie users who can sign in to Odie
  • Org-wide results are available only to authorized leaders and admins
  • Available for Odie Intelligence launch customers

Odie MCP lets you connect your Odie Customer Knowledge Graph to compatible AI agents through an MCP server. After setup, your AI agent can help you find Accounts, review recent Touchpoints, search customer activity, retrieve Segments, and generate briefs.

Setup summary

 Purpose: Connect your Odie Customer Knowledge Graph to a compatible AI agent.

 Setup: Copy the MCP configuration from Settings > MCP into your AI client.

 Access: Your AI agent can retrieve only the Odie data you are allowed to access.

Tip: Sign in to Odie in the same browser before starting the MCP connection.
Note: Odie MCP uses your Odie sign-in. Do not use API keys for standard end-user MCP access.

Connect your AI client

  1. Sign in to Odie in your browser.
  2. Open Settings > MCP.
  3. In Client instructions, choose the AI client you want to connect.
  4. Copy the command or configuration shown in Odie.
  5. Add the configuration to your AI client.
  6. When your AI client asks you to authenticate, complete the browser sign-in flow with the same Odie account you already use.
  7. Return to your AI client and retry the request if the client does not continue automatically.
Tip: If you are already signed in to Odie in the same browser, the MCP connection flow should reuse that session whenever possible.

Choose the right setup option

Option Use when What to copy
Claude Code You use Claude Code locally and want a terminal command. The Claude Code command from Settings > MCP.
Codex You use Codex and need to add the MCP server, then sign in. The Codex commands from Settings > MCP.
Generic remote MCP client Your client supports remote MCP servers with browser-based sign-in. Server name, endpoint, metadata URLs, registration URL, and authentication details.
Hosted MCP client Your hosted AI environment supports remote MCP connections. The hosted server configuration, then verify compatibility in that host.

Use the generic configuration

Use the generic setup when your AI client asks for individual remote MCP values instead of a command.

Copy these values from Settings > MCP:

  • Name: unison
  • URL: the Odie MCP endpoint shown in your settings page
  • Transport: streamable-http
  • Protected resource metadata: the metadata URL shown in your settings page
  • Authorization server metadata: the authorization server metadata URL shown in your settings page
  • Dynamic client registration: the registration endpoint shown in your settings page
  • Authentication: browser sign-in through Odie

The endpoint usually ends with /api/mcp/unison. Use the endpoint shown in your own Odie environment rather than copying a localhost or test URL from an internal screenshot.

Sign in with Odie

When your AI client needs access, Odie opens a browser authentication flow. This flow reuses your same Odie login credentials.

  1. Start the connection from your AI client.
  2. In the browser window, confirm that you are signing in to Odie.
  3. If prompted, complete the Odie sign-in.
  4. Approve the connection.
  5. Return to your AI client.

Requested MCP scopes may appear during setup for client compatibility. Your effective access is still determined by your Odie login credentials and what you can access in Odie.

Understand what Odie MCP can access

Odie MCP is read-only. It can help compatible AI clients retrieve customer intelligence that the signed-in user is already allowed to access in Odie.

Tool What it helps with
Find Account Searches Odie to find the correct Account and resolve aliases or abbreviations.
Get Account context Reviews health, contacts, recent activity, risks, opportunities, renewal timing, and related customer context.
Get Touchpoints Retrieves calls, meetings, emails, and tickets for an Account or portfolio.
Search Accounts Searches for multiple Accounts within your Odie instance.
Get Segment Retrieves a Segment of data.
Get brief Finds or generates an account, meeting prep, or custom brief.

Troubleshoot setup

Use these checks if your AI client cannot connect or authenticate.

  • Confirm that you can sign in to Odie in the same browser.
  • Retry the browser flow from the MCP connection page if the client reports an authentication failure.
  • Make sure the AI client is using the endpoint from Settings > MCP.
  • For Codex, add the MCP server first, then run the login command shown in Odie.
  • If your client asks for metadata URLs, copy both the protected resource metadata URL and authorization server metadata URL from Odie.
  • If you are testing in a local environment, use the backend API URL from the settings page, not the frontend page URL.
  • If a request returns less data than expected, check whether your Odie role or account assignments limit access.

FAQs

Question: Do I need a separate Odie API key?

Answer: No. End users authenticate with Odie through the browser flow. API keys are not used for standard Odie MCP setup.

Question: Can any user search the whole organization?

Answer: No. Org-wide scope is available only to users who can access that information in Odie.

Question: Why does the setup page show scopes if permissions are handled by Odie?

Answer: Some MCP clients expect scopes during setup. Odie exposes read scopes for compatibility, but effective access is based on your Odie role, permissions, and instance.

Question: Which AI clients are supported?

Answer: The Odie MCP setup page includes instructions for Claude Code, Codex, generic remote MCP clients, and hosted MCP clients that support remote MCP connections with browser-based sign-in.

Question: What should I do if authentication fails?

Answer: Sign in to Odie in the browser first, then retry the MCP connection. If your AI client stores an old connection, remove the Odie MCP entry and add it again from the latest settings page values.
