Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks. This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Ocrspace account to Cowork 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. ## Also integrate Ocrspace with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Ocrspace to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Ocrspace to Claude Cowork 1. Open Customize In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. 2. Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Cowork? Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools. With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Ocrspace through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Ocrspace MCP server, 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. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `OCRSPACE_GET_CONVERSIONS` | Get Conversion Statistics | Retrieve OCR API conversion statistics and usage data (PRO accounts only). Returns the number of conversions for Engine1, Engine2, and total conversions. Data is updated once daily and shows conversions from start of month to end of yesterday. Free API keys will return 0 conversions. | | `OCRSPACE_OCR_PARSE_IMAGE_POST` | Extract Text from Image/PDF (OCR) | Extract text from images and PDF documents using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Supports 27 languages, table recognition, orientation detection, and word-level coordinate extraction. Provide exactly one of `file`, `url`, or `base64Image`; providing multiple or none triggers E301/OCRExitCode 99. Input can be provided as file upload, public URL, or base64-encoded data URI. Response is nested JSON; extract text from `ParsedResults[*].ParsedText`. Returns extracted text with optional overlay coordinates and searchable PDF generation. For poor-quality scans, enable both `detectOrientation` and `scale` and ensure `language` matches the document. | | `OCRSPACE_PARSE_IMAGE_URL` | Extract Text from Image URL (GET) | Extract text from images via URL using simplified GET endpoint. Only supports URL-based submissions - no file uploads or base64 encoding. Faster and simpler than POST endpoint for basic use cases. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Ocrspace MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Ocrspace account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Ocrspace tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Ocrspace MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ocrspace/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 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. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork? 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. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Ocrspace while using Tool Router? 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. ### 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 Ocrspace data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
