Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Ideogram works with the most popular AI clients.

FAQ

Questions Ideogram owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect Ideogram to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your Ideogram API key. Once connected, you can use it immediately in Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 02

    Can I use this for logos with text?

    Yes. Ideogram is specifically designed to handle typography and text-heavy compositions better than most models.

  • 03

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect.

  • 04

    Can I change the size of an image I already made?

    Yes. You can use the upscale capability to increase resolution or the remix capability to change the aspect ratio and style.

  • 05

    What happens if I want to change just one part of an image?

    You can use the edit_image capability to perform inpainting or masking on specific areas of the image.

  • 06

    Can I generate images with specific styles and aspect ratios?

    Yes. The generate_image capability 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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    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.
