Features

This MCP server provides tools to programmatically interact with Oda's grocery shopping platform:

• Search products - Search for groceries with support for Norwegian terms
• Browse search results - Navigate through paginated search results
• Manage shopping cart - View cart contents, add items, and remove items
• Session persistence - Maintains login session across restarts

Installation

The easiest way to use mcp-oda is with uvx:

# Run directly from GitHub
uvx --from git+https://github.com/gbbirkisson/mcp-oda mcp-oda --help

Usage

Initial Setup

First, you need to authenticate with your Oda account:

# Open browser for authentication
uvx --from git+https://github.com/gbbirkisson/mcp-oda mcp-oda --auth

# The browser will open - log in to your Oda account
# Close the browser when done

# Verify you are still logged in
uvx --from git+https://github.com/gbbirkisson/mcp-oda mcp-oda --auth

[!NOTE] Browser data is stored by default in ~/.mcp-oda

Troubleshooting

Session not persisting

If your login session is not persisting between runs:

1. Try running with --clean to remove old session data
2. Re-authenticate with --auth
3. Make sure you're using the same --data-dir for both auth and normal runs

Browser issues

If you encounter browser-related issues:

# Clean browser data
uvx --from git+https://github.com/gbbirkisson/mcp-oda mcp-oda --clean

# Re-authenticate
uvx --from git+https://github.com/gbbirkisson/mcp-oda mcp-oda --auth
