No published rate limits of Apideck's own, only connector limits mirrored in headers.\n\n**Odoo External API.** One endpoint pattern reaches every model, with field selection, filters and paging, and keys that expire within three months. On Odoo Online the external API needs the Custom plan, there is no OpenAPI file, and the acceptable use policy asks for about one call a second with no parallel calls.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Apideck Accounting API + MCP\n\n1. Stay in dynamic mode and search for tools. Static mode loads all 362 schemas\n2. Start the MCP with --lock-identity (or ?lock_identity=true) when one agent serves one customer\n3. Read x-downstream-ratelimit-remaining before fanning out, and wait until x-downstream-ratelimit-reset after a 429\n4. List before you retry a create that timed out. Writes aren't idempotent and there's no idempotency key\n5. Pass fields= on list calls to cut the response to the columns you need\n\n### Odoo External API\n\n1. POST to `/json/2/\u003cmodel\u003e/\u003cmethod\u003e` with `Authorization: bearer \u003ckey\u003e` and named arguments in a JSON body. Add `X-Odoo-Database` when one host serves several databases\n2. Pass `fields` and `limit` on `search_read`. The default limit is every matching record\n3. Create invoices and bills on `account.move` with `move_type` set to `out_invoice` or `in_invoice`, then call `action_post`. A new move is a draft\n4. Keep to about one call a second with no parallel calls on Odoo Online, and batch records into one `create` call\n5. Ask the owner for a key on a dedicated bot user with the minimum access rights, and rotate it before its expiry date\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Apideck Accounting API + MCP or Odoo External API?\n\nApideck Accounting API + MCP scores 72.9 (BB) on agent readiness against Odoo External API's 55.9 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.

No hosted endpoint is listed for Odoo External API.\n\n### Are Apideck Accounting API + MCP and Odoo External API open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Apideck Accounting API + MCP.
