# Dolibarr MCP Server
Dolibarr MCP is a focused Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the
most useful Dolibarr ERP/CRM operations to AI copilots. The repository mirrors
the clean layout used by [`prestashop-mcp`](https://github.com/latinogino/prestashop-mcp):
a single production-ready server implementation, an async HTTP client, and a
self-contained documentation bundle.
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):
an async API client, a production-ready STDIO server, and focused
documentation. Claude Desktop and other MCP-aware tools can use the server to
manage customers, products, invoices, orders, and contacts in a Dolibarr
instance.
This MCP server enables complete management of your Dolibarr ERP/CRM through AI
tools such as Claude Desktop. With specialised tools you can manage customers,
products, invoices, orders, contacts, and system administration tasks from a
single MCP endpoint.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/latinogino/dolibarr-mcp.git
cd dolibarr-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m venv venv_dolibarr
source venv_dolibarr/bin/activate
pip install -e .
```
Install development extras (pytest, formatting, type-checking) when needed:
```bash
# Optional development extras
pip install -e '.[dev]'
```
### Windows (Visual Studio `vsenv`)
While the virtual environment is active record the Python executable path with
`which python`. Claude Desktop must launch the MCP server using this interpreter.
1. Launch the **x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS** or **Developer PowerShell for VS** (`vsenv`).
2. Create a virtual environment next to the repository root: `py -3 -m venv .venv`.
3. Activate it: `call .venv\\Scripts\\activate.bat` (Command Prompt) or `.\\.venv\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1` (PowerShell).
4. Install the package: `pip install -e .`.
5. Install development extras when required: `pip install -e .[dev]` (PowerShell requires escaping brackets: ``pip install -e .`[dev`]``).
6. Run `where python` **inside** the activated environment and copy the reported path. Claude Desktop must use this exact `python.exe`; mismatched paths (for example, pointing at a non-existent `venv_dolibarr\Scripts\python.exe`) will produce an immediate `ENOENT` error and the server will show as *disconnected*.
### Windows (PowerShell)
### Docker
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/latinogino/dolibarr-mcp.git
Set-Location dolibarr-mcp
py -3 -m venv venv_dolibarr
./venv_dolibarr/Scripts/Activate.ps1
pip install -e .
# Optional development extras (escape brackets in PowerShell)
pip install -e .`[dev`]
```
Run `Get-Command python` (or `Get-Command python.exe`) while the environment is
activated and note the absolute path. Claude Desktop should use this interpreter
inside the virtual environment, for example
`C:\\path\\to\\dolibarr-mcp\\venv_dolibarr\\Scripts\\python.exe`.
### Docker (optional)
```bash
# Using Docker Compose (recommended)
docker compose up -d
# Or build and run directly
# or
docker build -t dolibarr-mcp .
docker run -d \
-e DOLIBARR_URL=https://your-dolibarr.example.com/api/index.php \

## ⚙️ Configuration
Set the following environment variables (they may live in a `.env` file):
### Environment variables
- `DOLIBARR_URL` Dolibarr API endpoint, e.g. `https://example.com/api/index.php`
- `DOLIBARR_API_KEY` personal Dolibarr API token
- `LOG_LEVEL` optional logging verbosity (defaults to `INFO`)
The server reads configuration from the environment or a `.env` file. Both
`DOLIBARR_URL` and `DOLIBARR_SHOP_URL` are accepted for the base API address.
[`Config`](src/dolibarr_mcp/config.py) is built with `pydantic-settings` and
supports loading from the environment, `.env` files, and CLI overrides. See the
[configuration guide](docs/configuration.md) for a full matrix and troubleshooting tips.
| Variable | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `DOLIBARR_URL` / `DOLIBARR_SHOP_URL` | Base Dolibarr API endpoint, e.g. `https://example.com/api/index.php`. Trailing slashes are handled automatically. |
| `DOLIBARR_API_KEY` | Personal Dolibarr API token. |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | Optional logging verbosity (`INFO`, `DEBUG`, `WARNING`, …). |
## ▶️ Running the server
Example `.env`:
Dolibarr MCP communicates with hosts over STDIO. Once configured, launch the
server with:
```bash
python -m dolibarr_mcp.cli serve
```env
DOLIBARR_URL=https://your-dolibarr.example.com/api/index.php
DOLIBARR_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
```
You can validate credentials and connectivity using the built-in test command
before wiring it into a host:
### Claude Desktop configuration
```bash
python -m dolibarr_mcp.cli test --url https://example.com/api/index.php --api-key YOUR_TOKEN
Add the following block to `claude_desktop_config.json`, replacing the paths and
credentials with your own values:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"dolibarr": {
"command": "C:\\path\\to\\dolibarr-mcp\\venv_dolibarr\\Scripts\\python.exe",
"args": ["-m", "dolibarr_mcp.dolibarr_mcp_server"],
"cwd": "C:\\path\\to\\dolibarr-mcp",
"env": {
"DOLIBARR_SHOP_URL": "https://your-dolibarr.example.com",
"DOLIBARR_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
```
## 🤖 Using with Claude Desktop
Restart Claude Desktop after saving the configuration. The MCP server reads the
same environment variables when launched from Linux or macOS hosts.
Add an entry to `claude_desktop_config.json` that points to your virtual
environments Python executable and the `dolibarr_mcp.cli` module. After
installation, verify the executable path with `which python` (Linux/macOS) or
`where python` (Windows `vsenv`). Restart Claude Desktop so it picks up the new
MCP server.
## ▶️ Usage
## 🧪 Development workflow
### Start the MCP server
- Run the test-suite with `pytest` (see [development docs](docs/development.md)
for coverage flags and Docker helpers).
The server communicates over STDIO, so run it in the foreground from the virtual
environment:
```bash
python -m dolibarr_mcp.dolibarr_mcp_server
```
Logs are written to stderr to avoid interfering with the MCP protocol. Keep the
process running while Claude Desktop is active.
### Test the Dolibarr credentials
Use the standalone connectivity check before wiring the server into an MCP host:
```bash
python -m dolibarr_mcp.test_connection --url https://your-dolibarr.example.com/api/index.php --api-key YOUR_API_KEY
```
When the environment variables are already set, omit the overrides and run
`python -m dolibarr_mcp.test_connection`.
## 🧪 Development
- Run the test-suite with `pytest` (see [`docs/development.md`](docs/development.md)
for coverage options and Docker helpers).
- Editable installs rely on the `src/` layout and expose the `dolibarr-mcp`
console entry point.
- Contributions follow the same structure and documentation conventions as
`prestashop-mcp` to keep the twin projects in sync.
```bash
python -m dolibarr_mcp.cli test --url https://your-dolibarr.example.com/api/index.php --api-key YOUR_KEY
```
