Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Ocrspace account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract text from a scanned receipt image, convert a PDF invoice to editable text, get all words from a business card photo, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

Connecting Ocrspace to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

2. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

3. Connect your Ocrspace account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Ocrspace or give it any Ocrspace-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Extract text from a scanned receipt image"
  • "Convert a PDF invoice to editable text"
  • "Get all words from a business card photo"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Ocrspace account is ready to use.

What is the Ocrspace Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Ocrspace MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ocrspace account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced OCR capabilities, so your agent can extract text from images, PDFs, and scanned documents, automate data capture, and process files for text recognition on your behalf.

  • Text extraction from images: Instantly have your agent pull readable text from photos, screenshots, or scanned image files using OCR technology.
  • PDF document parsing: Let your agent process PDF files—single or multi-page—to extract all embedded text, even from complex layouts.
  • Automated data digitization: Turn printed or handwritten information in images and PDFs into digital, searchable text with a single agent command.
  • Multi-language text recognition: Enable your agent to identify and extract text in multiple languages from diverse document types.
  • Batch file processing: Have your agent handle and convert multiple images or documents at once, streamlining bulk OCR workflows.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Ocrspace?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Ocrspace conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Ocrspace again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Ocrspace connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Ocrspace.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Ocrspace.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Ocrspace authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Ocrspace account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Ocrspace connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Ocrspace authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Ocrspace sign-in.

4. Why do Ocrspace actions fail after they worked before?

The Ocrspace connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Ocrspace connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Ocrspace account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Ocrspace.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Ocrspace itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Ocrspace account?

Claude can manage the Ocrspace connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Ocrspace account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Ocrspace again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Ocrspace.
  • Sign in with the other Ocrspace account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Ocrspace task.

6. Why is my Ocrspace connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Ocrspace connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Ocrspace tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Ocrspace.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Ocrspace MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Ocrspace tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Ocrspace and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork 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 Ocrspace tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ocrspace 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.

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 Ocrspace data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
