## Use this model from an AI agent

Atlas Cloud ships three first-party integration surfaces. All three authenticate
with the same API key via the `ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY` environment variable.

### MCP server

The official MCP server (`atlascloud-mcp`) exposes this model to any
MCP-compatible host — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Goose,
Claude Desktop. One-line install:

```bash
# Claude Code
claude mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

# OpenAI Codex CLI
codex mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

Then ask in plain English; the agent calls `atlas_generate_image` with `model: "ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image"`.
The server fetches each model's schema and validates parameters before submitting,
so invalid requests fail fast without spending credits.

### Agent Skills

`atlas-cloud-skills` is a portable skill package (API reference, code templates in
Python / Node.js / cURL, model IDs with pricing) for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and
12+ other agents:

```bash
npx skills add AtlasCloudAI/atlas-cloud-skills
export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

Skills docs: https://www.atlascloud.ai/docs/skills

### CLI

The `atlas` binary runs Atlas Cloud from a terminal or CI script. Async media jobs
are polled and downloaded automatically (use `--no-download` when a script only
needs the output URLs):

```bash
# Install (Homebrew, npm, or shell installer)
brew install AtlasCloudAI/tap/atlascloud
# npm install -g atlascloud-cli
# curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AtlasCloudAI/cli/main/install.sh | sh

atlas auth login
atlas generate image ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image -p "Your prompt here"
```

## HTTP API reference

- **Submit endpoint (POST)**: `https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateImage` — start an async generation; returns a `prediction_id`
- **Poll endpoint (GET)**: `https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id}` — poll this until the prediction finishes
- **Model ID**: `ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image`


## API Information

This model can be used via our HTTP API or more conveniently via our client libraries.
See the input and output schema below, as well as the usage examples.


### Input Schema

The API accepts the following input parameters:

- **`model`** (`string`, _required_):
  model name
  - Default: `"ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image"`

- **`prompt`** (`string`, _required_):
  Text description of the image to generate. Maximum 2,000 characters.

- **`image_size`** (`string`, _optional_):
  Output image size preset.
  - Default: `"landscape_16_9"`
  - Options: "square_hd", "square", "portrait_3_4", "portrait_9_16", "landscape_4_3", "landscape_16_9"

- **`output_format`** (`string`, _optional_):
  File format of the generated image.
  - Default: `"jpeg"`
  - Options: "jpeg", "png"

- **`seed`** (`integer`, _optional_):
  Random seed for reproducibility. Use the same seed and prompt to reproduce results.
  - Min: 0



**Required Parameters Example**:

```json
{
  "model": "ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image",
  "prompt": ""
}
```


**Full Example**:

```json
{
  "model": "ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image",
  "prompt": "",
  "image_size": "landscape_16_9",
  "output_format": "jpeg",
  "seed": 0
}
```


### Output Schema

The API returns the following output format:


- **`model`** (`string`, _optional_):
  model name
  - Default: `"ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image"`

- **`created_at`** (`string`, _optional_):
  ISO timestamp of when the request was created (e.g., "2023-04-01T12:34:56.789Z").

- **`id`** (`string`, _optional_):
  Unique identifier for the prediction.

- **`outputs`** (`array[string]`, _optional_):
  Array of URLs to the generated images. Null when status is not completed.

- **`status`** (`string`, _optional_):
  Status of the task: created, processing, completed, or failed.

- **`urls`** (`object`, _optional_):
  Object containing related API endpoints.



**Example Response**:

```json
{
  "model": "ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image",
  "created_at": "",
  "id": "",
  "outputs": [
    ""
  ],
  "status": "",
  "urls": {}
}
```


## Usage Examples

### cURL

```bash
# Step 1: Start generation (async)
curl -X POST "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateImage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "ideogram/v4/quality/text-to-image",
  "prompt": "",
  "image_size": "landscape_16_9",
  "output_format": "jpeg",
  "seed": 0
}'

# Response will contain: {"code": 200, "data": {"id": "prediction_id", "status": "processing"}}

# Step 2: Poll for result (replace {prediction_id} with the id returned above)
curl -X GET "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY"

# Keep polling until status is "completed", "succeeded" or "failed"
# When completed, outputs will contain the generated content URL(s)
```
