How good is Ideogram at rendering text in images?

Ideogram is widely considered the industry leader for typography. Use the `generate_v3` tool to create visuals with long sentences, complex logos, or specific fonts that remain perfectly readable and accurate.

Can I generate logos with transparent backgrounds?

Yes. The `generate_transparent` tool specifically uses the V3 model to output PNG files with an alpha channel, making it perfect for UI elements, stickers, and professional branding assets.

How do I upscale an image to higher resolution?

Use the `upscale` tool by providing a public image URL. Your agent will process the image through Ideogram's enhancement engine to increase resolution and add finer details automatically.

Ideogram (AI Image Generation) + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Ideogram (AI Image Generation) MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
