Documentation Overview

@qmediat.io/ideogram-mcp

MCP server for the Ideogram V3 API — generate, edit, remix, upscale, and describe images from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client.

Why this server?

7 tools — full Ideogram V3 coverage (generate, edit, remix, reframe, replace background, upscale, describe)
Security-first — SSRF protection, symlink rejection, Content-Type validation, path traversal prevention, Zod response validation (details)
2 runtime dependencies — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk + zod. No axios, no form-data, no HTTP libraries
Native Ideogram API — direct V3 endpoints, not proxied through fal.ai or Replicate
Production-hardened — retry with exponential backoff, safety filter handling, partial failure resilience

Quick Start

Terminal

npm install -g @qmediat.io/ideogram-mcp

Or use directly:

Terminal

npx @qmediat.io/ideogram-mcp

Requires IDEOGRAM_API_KEY — get one at ideogram.ai/manage-api.

Configuration

Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude.json → mcpServers:

config.json

{
  "ideogram": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@qmediat.io/ideogram-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "IDEOGRAM_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
      "IDEOGRAM_OUTPUT_DIR": "/tmp/ideogram-output"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ideogram": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@qmediat.io/ideogram-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IDEOGRAM_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "IDEOGRAM_OUTPUT_DIR": "/tmp/ideogram-output"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description

Security

This server is designed with a zero-trust, minimal-dependency approach:

SSRF protection — HTTPS-only downloads, hostname allowlist, redirect blocking
Symlink rejection — lstat() rejects user-created symlinks before reading
Content-Type validation — downloads must be image/*, rejecting HTML/JSON error pages
Zod response validation — API responses parsed through schemas, no blind type casts
Path traversal prevention — extension allowlist + path.relative() containment check

Full details in SECURITY.md.

git clone https://github.com/qmediat/ideogram-mcp.git
cd ideogram-mcp
