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

Q: How do my CrewAI agents use Ideogram (AI Image Generation) to create images?

You pass the MCP Server URL to your agents using the mcps parameter in your CrewAI setup. The agents automatically discover tools like generatev3 and decide when to call them based on their assigned roles. This lets a designer agent generate images without manual coding.

Q: Can CrewAI agents edit existing assets using Ideogram (AI Image Generation)?

Yes, agents can use the edit and editv3 tools to modify specific areas of an image using masks. A supervisor agent can detect flaws in an image and instruct a specialized editor agent to fix it. The server processes these edits and returns the updated asset.

Q: How do I configure CrewAI to resize images with Ideogram (AI Image Generation)?

Your agents can invoke the reframe tool to adjust an image's aspect ratio and fill the new margins with matching AI content. You don't need to write custom image processing code. The agent simply passes the image and target dimensions to the server tool.

Q: Is it possible to generate transparent assets with this MCP Server?

Yes, the generatetransparent tool allows your crew to create PNGs with transparent backgrounds. This is perfect for agents tasked with building sticker packs, logo variations, or web UI components. The output is delivered directly to your agents' shared memory.

Deploy creative agent teams with this MCP Server

`generate_v3` gives your creative CrewAI agents the ability to produce images with crisp, legible text for ads and posters. A copywriter agent can write the slogan, while a designer agent calls the Ideogram generation tool to render the layout. By connecting this MCP Server to your crew, agents can pass assets between themselves. One agent generates the base image, a second agent reviews it, and a third agent triggers Ideogram edits if the text alignment needs adjustment.

Multi-agent image editing and compositing

`replace_background` lets your CrewAI agent team swap backgrounds on catalog images while keeping the product subject perfectly intact. A marketing agent can analyze a trend, write a background prompt, and hand it to an Ideogram production agent to execute. For fine-tuning, the crew can use `edit_v3` to modify specific masked areas or swap faces. This allows your CrewAI agents to handle complex design tasks autonomously, escalating to human approval only when confidence scores fall below your threshold.

Analyze and upscale graphics autonomously

`describe` allows your CrewAI research agents to dissect an existing Ideogram image and generate detailed prompt descriptions. The agent crew uses this feedback loop to understand visual compositions before modifying them or generating similar assets. Once the crew agrees on a final design, they route it to `upscale` to maximize resolution and detail. The entire pipeline runs via simple HTTP or stdio transports, keeping your multi-agent architecture clean and modular.

Setup guide

Set up Ideogram (AI Image Generation) MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Ideogram (AI Image Generation) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Ideogram (AI Image Generation) Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Ideogram (AI Image Generation) data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Ideogram (AI Image Generation) access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Ideogram (AI Image Generation) transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Ideogram (AI Image Generation) Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Ideogram (AI Image Generation) data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Ideogram (AI Image Generation) access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Ideogram (AI Image Generation) transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
