Set up Odie MCP in an AI client

Odie MCP brings your Odie Customer Knowledge Graph into the AI agent you already use, so you can get answers about your customers right where you're working. Say you have a renewal call with Acme tomorrow. You can ask your AI agent what's changed on the Account, and it pulls recent calls, support tickets, and renewal timing straight from Odie, then helps you turn it into a meeting prep brief.

Explore what your AI agent can do

Once you're connected, ask your AI agent questions in plain language. It picks the right Odie Tool for each request, so you don't need to name one.

ToolWhat it helps withTry asking
Find AccountFinds the right Account, even by nickname"Find our Account for Acme Corp."
Get Account contextHealth, contacts, risks, opportunities, and renewal timing"What should I know about Acme before Thursday?"
Get TouchpointsRecent calls, meetings, emails, and tickets"Summarize Acme's support tickets from last month."
Search AccountsSeveral Accounts at once"Compare Acme, Globex, and Initech."
Get SegmentThe Accounts in a Segment"Show me my Renewals at Risk Segment."
Get briefFinds a brief or creates a new one"Write a meeting prep brief for Acme."

Your AI agent sees the same Accounts and details you can see in Odie, based on your role and access.

Get ready to connect

  • Make sure you can sign in to Odie in your browser.
  • Check that your AI agent can connect to other apps. Different AI agents call this connectors, integrations, or MCP servers.
  • Check that your company allows customer information to be used in your AI agent.

Connect with help from your AI agent

This is the quickest way to get set up. Odie gives you a set of instructions, and your AI agent walks you through the rest.

  1. In Odie, go to Settings > MCP.
  2. Click Copy Setup Instructions.
  3. Paste the instructions into a new chat with your AI agent, and ask it to connect to Odie.
    • To share a file instead, click Download llms.txt and attach it to the chat.
  4. Follow the steps your AI agent gives you. Some AI agents finish the setup on their own, and others show you where to click.
  5. When Odie opens in your browser, sign in with your Odie account.
  6. Choose your organization if Odie asks, then review and approve the connection.
  7. Return to your AI agent and ask it to list its Odie Tools. When you see the list, you're ready to go.
Tip: The setup instructions don't contain your password or any account details, so they're safe to paste into a chat. You always complete the Odie sign-in yourself.

Connect manually

If your AI agent asks for a server address instead, you can add Odie yourself.

  1. In Odie, go to Settings > MCP and copy the Endpoint.
  2. In your AI agent, open the settings for connectors or MCP servers.
  3. Add a new connection and name it odie.
  4. Paste the Endpoint into the URL field. It ends in /api/mcp/odie.
  5. If your AI agent asks for a connection type, choose Streamable HTTP.
  6. If it asks how to sign in, choose OAuth.
  7. Start the connection, then sign in to Odie in the browser window that opens.
Note: Copy the Endpoint from your own Settings > MCP page so you connect to the right Odie instance. The address may include the word unison, which is expected.

Connect Claude Code or Codex

Settings > MCP includes a command you can copy for each of these.

  1. In Settings > MCP, open the Manual Setup tab.
  2. Copy the command for Claude Code or Codex and run it in your terminal.
  3. Sign in to Odie:
    • Claude Code: type /mcp, choose odie, and sign in.
    • Codex: run codex mcp login odie, then sign in.

Add extra connection details

Most AI agents find everything they need from the Endpoint. If yours asks for more addresses, expand Advanced Connection Details in Settings > MCP and copy each value exactly as shown.

Understand usage and limits

  • Finding and summarizing information that's already in Odie doesn't use your Odie AI allowance.
  • Creating something new, like a brief, uses your Odie AI allowance, just as it would inside Odie.
  • Your AI agent's provider may have its own plans and charges.
  • If a lot of requests arrive at once, Odie may ask your AI agent to pause briefly before trying again.

Your Odie representative can walk you through what your plan includes.

FAQs

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a common standard that lets AI agents connect to other apps. Odie MCP uses it so your AI agent can work with your Odie information.

Do I need an API key?

No. You connect with your Odie sign-in, the same way you sign in to Odie every day.

Will my AI agent change my data in Odie?

Odie MCP is designed to help you find, understand, and summarize your customer information, and to create briefs. Updates to your Accounts and other records still happen in Odie, so your team stays in control of your data.

Can I see information across my whole organization?

Your AI agent sees what you can see in Odie. If your role lets you view every Account in your organization, your AI agent can too.

Which AI agents can I use?

You can use any AI agent that connects to other apps and lets you sign in through your browser. Settings > MCP includes steps for Claude Code and Codex, and the manual steps work for many others.

Can I connect an agent I built myself?

Yes, as long as it supports the same kind of connection. You sign in and approve the connection the first time you set it up.

Can I export data in bulk?

Odie MCP works best for asking questions and getting answers. For bulk exports or a custom integration, your Odie representative can help you find the right option.

Is this the same as the Odie API?

No. Odie MCP is for connecting AI agents. Your Odie representative can answer questions about the Odie API.

Does the setup file include my account details?

No. The llms.txt file contains setup steps and your Endpoint. It doesn't include your password, customer data, or access to your account.
