Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Ideogram.ai
Ask your AI to generate an image with Ideogram 4.0 or 3.0, to make a logo on a transparent background, or to resize an ad to new formats. It can edit images with a prompt, change a product's color or material and create a looping 360-degree product video. It can also build datasets, train a custom Ideogram model and check on generations that are still running.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
Try asking
“Generate a poster for our summer sale with the text "50% off" in bold letters.”
The AI sends your prompt to Ideogram 4.0 and returns the generated images.
“Make our new logo idea as a PNG with a transparent background.”
It generates the image with a transparent background, ready to place on other designs.
“Improve this prompt before you generate: a cozy coffee shop at night.”
It runs Ideogram's Magic Prompt to expand your text into a more detailed prompt you can use.

Questions
What can the AI do in Ideogram.ai?
It can generate images from text with Ideogram 4.0, 3.0 and P-Image, with or without a transparent background, and improve prompts with Magic Prompt. It can edit images with a prompt, resize ads, change product colors and materials and create 360-degree product videos. It can also create and read datasets, train custom models, list models and poll generations.
Does the AI see my Ideogram.ai API key?
No. Your Ideogram API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.
Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?
Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, for example image generation without model training. Generating and editing images uses your Ideogram credits, so you can start with only the tools you need and require your approval for the rest. Every tool call is logged.
Does it work with ChatGPT?
Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.
What does it cost?
PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Ideogram account with API credits, and what Ideogram charges for API use is between you and Ideogram.
Why does my new Ideogram API key not work?
Ideogram keys stay inactive until your API account has a positive balance. Add a payment method and credits under Billing in the Ideogram API dashboard, then try again. Image links that Ideogram returns expire after a while, so save the images you want to keep.
