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) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Ideogram (AI Image Generation) MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
