Frequently asked questions
Can I generate images with specific styles and aspect ratios?
Yes. The generate_image tool accepts a text prompt along with style presets (realistic, design, 3D, anime), aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, etc.), and model version. You can control the output precisely for different use cases.
Can I edit specific parts of an existing image?
Yes. Use edit_image with a source image and mask to modify specific regions using inpainting. Use remix_image to transform an image with a new prompt while preserving its overall composition and structure.
How does Ideogram authentication work?
Ideogram uses a custom Api-Key header (not Bearer). Your API key is generated from the Ideogram developer dashboard and sent in all requests to api.ideogram.ai.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
