By the end, you'll have a working Ocr web service agent that can extract text from uploaded invoice image, check remaining ocr pages on your account, get ocr processing logs for last week through natural language commands. This guide will help you understand how to give your AutoGen agent real control over a Ocr web service account through Composio's Ocr web service MCP server. Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved. ## Also integrate Ocr web service with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get and set up your OpenAI and Composio API keys - Install the required dependencies for Autogen and Composio - Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Ocr web service - Wire that MCP URL into Autogen using McpWorkbench and StreamableHttpServerParams - Configure an Autogen AssistantAgent that can call Ocr web service tools - Run a live chat loop where you ask the agent to perform Ocr web service operations ## What is AutoGen? Autogen is a framework for building multi-agent conversational AI systems from Microsoft. It enables you to create agents that can collaborate, use tools, and maintain complex workflows. Key features include: - Multi-Agent Systems: Build collaborative agent workflows - MCP Workbench: Native support for Model Context Protocol tools - Streaming HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP - AssistantAgent: Pre-built agent class for tool-using assistants ## What is the Ocr web service MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Ocr web service MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ocr web service account. It provides structured and secure access to your OCR operations, allowing your agent to process images, extract text, review account usage, and monitor processing logs automatically on your behalf. - Automated image-to-text recognition: Instantly have your agent perform OCR on uploaded images or documents and retrieve extracted text, including advanced output like word coordinates and formatted files. - Account usage monitoring: Let your agent fetch current subscription details, check remaining page credits, and stay on top of plan expiration dates for seamless workflow continuity. - Processing log retrieval: Ask your agent to pull detailed OCR processing logs for specific date ranges, making it easy to audit, troubleshoot, or analyze past conversions. - Credential and connection management: Have your agent securely extract and verify connection credentials from metadata whenever needed, ensuring safe and reliable access to OCR services. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `OCR_WEB_SERVICE_GET_ACCOUNT_CREDENTIALS` | Get Account Credentials | Tool to extract OCRWebService credentials (user_name, license_code) from connection metadata. Always call this before invoking OCR_WEB_SERVICE_RECOGNIZE or OCR_WEB_SERVICE_GET_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION rather than reusing cached values, as credentials may become stale. Use OCR_WEB_SERVICE_GET_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION to verify account status and quota before submitting large jobs. | | `OCR_WEB_SERVICE_GET_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION` | Get Account Information | Retrieve OCRWebService account information including remaining pages, subscription plan, and expiration date. Use this tool to check your account status before large OCR jobs — exhausted page quotas will cause OCR_WEB_SERVICE_RECOGNIZE to fail mid-run. Returns details about your subscription including pages remaining and plan expiration. If credentials are invalid or stale, retrieve fresh user_name and license_code via OCR_WEB_SERVICE_GET_ACCOUNT_CREDENTIALS before retrying. Requires valid OCRWebService credentials (username and license code). | | `OCR_WEB_SERVICE_OCR_WEB_SERVICE_LOG` | OCR Web Service Log | Tool to retrieve OCR processing logs for a date range on your account. Invalid credentials or bad date ranges return empty data rather than an error, so an empty result may indicate incorrect inputs rather than no logs. | | `OCR_WEB_SERVICE_OCR_WEB_SERVICE_RECOGNIZE` | OCRWebService Recognize | Tool to call SOAP Recognize operation. Use when performing OCR on an image to retrieve text, output document, word coordinates, and errors. Consumes page quota per call; returns HTTP 429 when limits exceeded. Check quota via OCR_WEB_SERVICE_GET_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION before large jobs; batch large PDFs in ~25–50 page chunks. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Ocr web service MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agents and assistants directly to Ocr web service. Instead of manually wiring Ocr web service APIs, OAuth, and scopes yourself, you get a structured, tool-based interface that an LLM can call safely. With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster. ## Step-by-step Guide ### 1. Prerequisites You will need: - A Composio API key - An OpenAI API key (used by Autogen's OpenAIChatCompletionClient) - A Ocr web service account you can connect to Composio - Some basic familiarity with Autogen and Python async ### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio OpenAI API Key - Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider. - Keep the API key safe. Composio API Key - Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs). - Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key. - Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication. ### 2. Install dependencies Install Composio, Autogen extensions, and dotenv. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to Ocr web service via MCP - autogen-agentchat provides the AssistantAgent class - autogen-ext-openai provides the OpenAI model client - autogen-ext-tools provides MCP workbench support ```bash pip install composio python-dotenv pip install autogen-agentchat autogen-ext-openai autogen-ext-tools ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project folder. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY is required to talk to Composio - OPENAI_API_KEY is used by Autogen's OpenAI client - USER_ID is how Composio identifies which user's Ocr web service connections to use ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key USER_ID=your-user-identifier@example.com ``` ### 4. Import dependencies and create Tool Router session What's happening: - load_dotenv() reads your .env file - Composio(api_key=...) initializes the SDK - create(...) creates a Tool Router session that exposes Ocr web service tools - session.mcp.url is the MCP endpoint that Autogen will connect to ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Ocr web service session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["ocr_web_service"] ) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 5. Configure MCP parameters for Autogen Autogen expects parameters describing how to talk to the MCP server. That is what StreamableHttpServerParams is for. What's happening: - url points to the Tool Router MCP endpoint from Composio - timeout is the HTTP timeout for requests - sse_read_timeout controls how long to wait when streaming responses - terminate_on_close=True cleans up the MCP server process when the workbench is closed ```python # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) ``` ### 6. Create the model client and agent What's happening: - OpenAIChatCompletionClient wraps the OpenAI model for Autogen - McpWorkbench connects the agent to the MCP tools - AssistantAgent is configured with the Ocr web service tools from the workbench ```python # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Ocr web service assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="ocr_web_service_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Ocr web service operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) ``` ### 7. Run the interactive chat loop What's happening: - The script prompts you in a loop with You: - Autogen passes your input to the model, which decides which Ocr web service tools to call via MCP - agent.run_stream(...) yields streaming messages as the agent thinks and calls tools - Typing exit, quit, or bye ends the loop ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Ocr web service related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, "content") and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StreamableHttpServerParams load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize Composio and create a Ocr web service session composio = Composio(api_key=os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")) session = composio.create( user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID"), toolkits=["ocr_web_service"] ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure MCP server parameters for Streamable HTTP server_params = StreamableHttpServerParams( url=url, timeout=30.0, sse_read_timeout=300.0, terminate_on_close=True, headers={"x-api-key": os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")} ) # Create model client model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") ) # Use McpWorkbench as context manager async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench: # Create Ocr web service assistant agent with MCP tools agent = AssistantAgent( name="ocr_web_service_assistant", description="An AI assistant that helps with Ocr web service operations.", model_client=model_client, workbench=workbench, model_client_stream=True, max_tool_iterations=10 ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation.\n") print("Ask any Ocr web service related question or task to the agent.\n") # Conversation loop while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ['exit', 'quit', 'bye']: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") # Run the agent with streaming try: response_text = "" async for message in agent.run_stream(task=user_input): if hasattr(message, 'content') and message.content: response_text = message.content # Print the final response if response_text: print(f"Agent: {response_text}\n") else: print("Agent: I encountered an issue processing your request.\n") except Exception as e: print(f"Agent: Sorry, I encountered an error: {str(e)}\n") if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You now have an Autogen assistant wired into Ocr web service through Composio's Tool Router and MCP. From here you can: - Add more toolkits to the toolkits list, for example notion or hubspot - Refine the agent description to point it at specific workflows - Wrap this script behind a UI, Slack bot, or internal tool Once the pattern is clear for Ocr web service, you can reuse the same structure for other MCP-enabled apps with minimal code changes. ## How to build Ocr web service MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Drive](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googledrive) - Google Drive is a cloud storage platform for uploading, sharing, and collaborating on files.

With a standalone Ocr web service MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Ocr web service tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Ocr web service and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Autogen? Yes, you can. Autogen fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Ocr web service tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Ocr web service while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ocr web service scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Ocr web service data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
