Common questions

Is Ideogram V3 MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: RUNAPI_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 20 days ago, and the latest version (0.3.1) reached the registry 20 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

RunAPI Ideogram V3 MCP Server

Ideogram V3 API access for AI agents: run image generation operations, poll asynchronous results, and check pricing through one focused MCP server.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and any MCP-compatible host.

Why This Package?

@runapi.ai/ideogram-v3-mcp is a focused Model Context Protocol server for the Ideogram V3 model line on RunAPI. It gives MCP-compatible assistants direct access to 3 endpoints and 6 model variants without loading the full RunAPI catalog.

Use this per-model server when an agent should stay scoped to Ideogram V3. Use @runapi.ai/mcp when one assistant should discover every RunAPI model line.

ideogram-v3-reframe was retired on 2026-10-11T00:00:00Z. New requests return HTTP 410 before task creation or balance deduction. Existing tasks can still be queried. This model ID is not mapped to another model.

Install

Add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add ideogram-v3 -s user -- npx -y @runapi.ai/ideogram-v3-mcp

Use project scope when the server should be shared with a repository:

claude mcp add ideogram-v3 -s project -- npx -y @runapi.ai/ideogram-v3-mcp

Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and other MCP hosts can use the same stdio command:

"mcpServers": { "ideogram-v3": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@runapi.ai/ideogram-v3-mcp"] } } }

check_pricing works before sign-in. For task creation and status polling, ask your assistant to call the login tool. It opens a browser login and saves credentials to ~/.config/runapi/config.json, the same file used by runapi login. Headless and CI hosts can still set RUNAPI_API_KEY before starting the MCP host.

Ready-made examples are in examples/ for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Roo Code.

Tools

Tool	Auth	Purpose
`edit_image`	Yes	Create an Ideogram V3 edit image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs.
`remix_image`	Yes	Create an Ideogram V3 remix image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs.
`text_to_image`	Yes	Create an Ideogram V3 text to image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs.
`get_task`	Yes	Fetch the current status and latest payload for an existing task.
`check_pricing`	No	Look up current pricing for a Ideogram V3 model and endpoint.

Models

Ideogram V3 covers 6 model variants across 3 endpoints. Each tool accepts the models listed for it:

Tool	Models
`edit_image`	`ideogram-v3-character-edit`, `ideogram-v3-edit`
`remix_image`	`ideogram-v3-character-remix`, `ideogram-v3-remix`
`text_to_image`	`ideogram-v3-character`, `ideogram-v3-text-to-image`

Model availability can change between releases. Use check_pricing or the Ideogram V3 model page for the current catalog view.

Agent Prompts

Ask your assistant in natural language; it can inspect pricing, create the task, and return the task id plus output URLs.

Create a task

Run an Ideogram V3 edit image task with RunAPI.

The assistant can call check_pricing, then edit_image, and return the task id, status, and output URLs.

Submit without waiting

Create the task but don't wait for it to finish.

The assistant calls the create tool with wait: false and returns the task id. Check on it later with get_task.

Check pricing before creating

Check current Ideogram V3 pricing, then create the task if it matches my request.

The assistant calls check_pricing and can link to the Ideogram V3 model page for the canonical catalog entry.

Configuration

The server resolves auth in this order:

RUNAPI_API_KEY environment variable, useful for headless and CI hosts
~/.config/runapi/config.json, created by the MCP login tool or runapi login
No key, which still allows check_pricing

The config file is normally managed by login. A pre-provisioned headless config can use:

"apiKey": "your_runapi_key" }

Do not commit real API keys.
