Ideogram API and MCP: how to add image generation to your project

Ideogram is an image generation model. NeuralSpace offers the following models: Ideogram V3. They all run through a single public API, and there is a ready MCP server for AI agents. The key is issued on the API keys page. Below are the model capabilities, request examples and setup steps.

What Ideogram can do

Ideogram V3 generates images from text, priced by rendering speed: TURBO, BALANCED or QUALITY. The model handles text and lettering on images well, suiting logos, posters and typographic graphics.

API endpoint

Send a request to POST /v1/images/generations. Example: {"model": "ideogram", "prompt": "a minimalist logo", "rendering_speed": "QUALITY"}. Authorization uses an API key in the x-api-key header. Available model ids: ideogram.

MCP tools

The NeuralSpace MCP server is available at POST /mcp (Streamable HTTP). To work with Ideogram, an agent uses the tools: generate_image, list_models, get_balance. This lets Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients use the site models directly.

How to connect

Sign up on NeuralSpace, open the API keys page and create an nsk-… key. Then pass it in the request header or in your MCP client settings. Full documentation is on the the /v1/docs page.
