# Dolibarr MCP Server
Dolibarr MCP delivers a Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface for the Dolibarr
ERP/CRM. The project mirrors the layout of [`prestashop-mcp`](https://github.com/latinogino/prestashop-mcp):
ERP/CRM. The project mirrors the project structure of [`prestashop-mcp`](https://github.com/latinogino/prestashop-mcp):
an async API client, a production-ready STDIO server, and focused
documentation. Claude Desktop and other MCP-aware tools can use the server to
documentation.
**Design Note:** While sharing the same architecture, this server implements **specialized search tools** (e.g., `search_products_by_ref`, `resolve_product_ref`) instead of a single unified `get_` tool. This design choice ensures efficient server-side filtering via Dolibarr's SQL API, preventing the agent from accidentally loading thousands of records and exceeding context limits.
Claude Desktop and other MCP-aware tools can use the server to
manage customers, products, invoices, orders, and contacts in a Dolibarr
instance.
