When you add the book to calibre, just run the calibre2opds again, it will recognize your previous usage and just check for updated stuff, then merge that with your current calibre2opds catalog.
Do you use the command line much?
The rungui.sh (for linux/mac) or rungui.cmd (for windows) that you double-click to start calibre2opds has a run.sh/run.cmd file with it, for running automatically with a saved profile.
Running that instead, will make it invisibly run with the last settings you used. Very useful for updating your calibre2opds catalog. Just remember to always run it right after you add books to calibre. If you want, you can even scedule a task for it to run daily or whatever.
Here are the directions:
