RunAPI Ideogram V3 MCP Server
Ideogram V3 API access for AI agents: create image generation tasks, poll 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 4 endpoints and 7 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.
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, output URLs, and pricing snapshot. |
reframe_image |
Yes | Create an Ideogram V3 reframe image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, output URLs, and pricing snapshot. |
remix_image |
Yes | Create an Ideogram V3 remix image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, output URLs, and pricing snapshot. |
text_to_image |
Yes | Create an Ideogram V3 text to image task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, output URLs, and pricing snapshot. |
get_task |
Yes | Fetch the current status and latest payload for an existing task. |
check_pricing |
No | Look up the current pricing snapshot for a Ideogram V3 model and endpoint. |
Models
Ideogram V3 covers 7 model variants across 4 endpoints. Each tool accepts the models listed for it:
| Tool | Models |
|---|---|
edit_image |
ideogram-v3-character-edit, ideogram-v3-edit |
reframe_image |
ideogram-v3-reframe |
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_KEYenvironment variable, useful for headless and CI hosts~/.config/runapi/config.json, created by the MCPlogintool orrunapi 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.
