How to Use the Ideogram (AI Image Generation) MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I stream Ideogram (AI Image Generation) outputs using Vercel AI SDK?

You call the generatev3 tool through streamText or generateText after initializing your client. The MCP Server handles the raw API requests, sending the resulting image URL or binary data straight back to your frontend. This keeps your React UI updated without manual polling.

Q: Can I crop and resize images with Ideogram (AI Image Generation) in Vercel AI SDK?

Yes, the reframe tool adjusts the aspect ratio of your images while using AI to fill in the new margins. You pass the target dimensions from your frontend state to the MCP Server, which returns the resized asset. This lets you build responsive image editors that adapt to user screens.

Q: How does face swapping work with Ideogram (AI Image Generation) and Vercel AI SDK?

You use the edit tool by passing an image, a mask indicating the face area, and a prompt describing the new face. The server processes the request and returns the edited image to your application. This execution runs within your standard SDK tool call pipeline.

Q: Does this MCP Server support transparent backgrounds for logo design?

Yes, the generatetransparent tool produces high-quality PNGs with alpha channels using the V3 model. Your application can call this specific tool to get clean assets that blend into any background. It bypasses the need for secondary background removal APIs.

Build React apps that stream sharp, text-accurate Ideogram images directly to your user's UI using the Vercel AI SDK.

Stream text-accurate images into React with Vercel AI SDK

`generate_v3` handles the heavy lifting of rendering clean, readable text on posters or UI mockups directly inside your Vercel AI SDK web app. Instead of making users stare at a static loading spinner, your frontend displays the Ideogram image data as it streams from this MCP Server. You configure the `createMCPClient` to pipe these text-heavy visual assets straight to your React components via the MCP connection. It hooks up to your Edge Functions, keeping the initial load fast while Ideogram renders photorealistic assets on the fly.

Edit and mask graphics on the fly

`edit_v3` modifies specific regions of an existing Ideogram image using a custom mask and text prompt within your Vercel AI SDK interface. Your React application can let users brush over a photo, then send those mask coordinates to the MCP Server to swap faces or alter details instantly. You can also trigger `replace_background` to drop a clean studio backdrop behind a product photo in your streaming UI. The Vercel AI SDK handles these state transitions, letting you build interactive canvas tools without managing complex API handshakes manually.

Generate transparent PNG assets instantly

`generate_transparent` outputs clean PNG files with an alpha channel for stickers and logos directly to your Vercel AI SDK frontend. Your web app receives these transparent Ideogram assets, ready to overlay onto any dark or light mode interface. By combining this tool with `upscale`, your React components can double the resolution of the output before presenting it to the user. The entire generation pipeline runs through a single Vinkius endpoint, keeping your Vercel AI SDK client-side code clean and your API keys secure.

Setup guide

Set up Ideogram (AI Image Generation) MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all Ideogram (AI Image Generation) tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent Ideogram (AI Image Generation) transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();
