ocr-web-service-automation

Has your agent automate the OCR web service. It's useful for extracting text from images and documents.

What it does

This tool helps automate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tasks on web services. It allows the AI to interact with these services to programmatically extract text from images or documents.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need to automatically extract text from many images.
  • ✓When integrating an OCR service into a larger application.
  • ✓For large-scale processing of scanned documents.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Extract the text from the image of a receipt and save it to a file.”

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/blob/master/composio-skills/ocr-web-service-automation/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

The AI first checks which OCR tools are available and how to use them. Then, it connects to the OCR service and performs the requested task, such as extracting text from a specific image.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills --skill ocr-web-service-automation

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/master/composio-skills/ocr-web-service-automation/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

OCR Web Service Automation via Rube MCP

Automate OCR Web Service operations through Composio's OCR Web Service toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/ocr_web_service

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active OCR Web Service connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit ocr_web_service
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit ocr_web_service
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Tool Discovery

Always discover available tools before executing workflows:

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "OCR Web Service operations", known_fields: ""}]
session: {generate_id: true}

This returns available tool slugs, input schemas, recommended execution plans, and known pitfalls.

Core Workflow Pattern

Step 1: Discover Available Tools

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "your specific OCR Web Service task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["ocr_web_service"]
session_id: "your_session_id"

Step 3: Execute Tools

RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL
tools: [{
  tool_slug: "TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH",
  arguments: {/* schema-compliant args from search results */}
}]
memory: {}
session_id: "your_session_id"

Known Pitfalls

  • Always search first: Tool schemas change. Never hardcode tool slugs or arguments without calling RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
  • Check connection: Verify RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows ACTIVE status before executing tools
  • Schema compliance: Use exact field names and types from the search results
  • Memory parameter: Always include memory in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls, even if empty ({})
  • Session reuse: Reuse session IDs within a workflow. Generate new ones for new workflows
  • Pagination: Check responses for pagination tokens and continue fetching until complete

Quick Reference

Operation Approach
Find tools RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS with OCR Web Service-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit ocr_web_service
Execute RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL with discovered tool slugs
Bulk ops RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH with run_composio_tool()
Full schema RUBE_GET_TOOL_SCHEMAS for tools with schemaRef

FAQ

What is Rube MCP?

Rube MCP is a system that allows the AI to discover and use different tools and services, like OCR, without needing complex configurations.

Do I need any special keys or setup?

Generally no. Rube MCP handles the connection. You might need to follow a link to authorize the connection once.

How does the AI know which tool to use?

The AI uses a command called `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` to find the latest and most suitable OCR tools for your task before executing it.
