Use Ideogram V3 Reframe from Claude Code

Ideogram V3 Reframe takes an image and intelligently outpaints the edges to fit a new aspect ratio. So a 16:9 landscape becomes a 9:16 portrait with the subject preserved and the top/bottom extended semantically. The cheapest path to multi-format from a single source.

If you use Claude Code and you want Ideogram V3 Reframe available as a native tool that the agent can call directly, the AetherWave MCP server wires it up in one command. No SDK to learn, no separate API key per provider, no polling loop to write.

Quick facts

How to use it

Once the MCP is installed, you can ask Claude Code naturally. It'll pick Ideogram V3 Reframe from the model-selection rubric in the tool description when your prompt matches its strengths (image aspect ratio adaptation).

Example interaction:

Claude Code calls aetherwave_reframe_image with model: "ideogram-v3-reframe" and returns the finished asset URL. The result auto-saves to your AetherWave gallery (Cloudflare R2 hosted, no URL expiration).

How it compares

The native AetherWave reframe path. No direct alternative; competitors require regenerating from scratch in the new aspect ratio. Reframe preserves the subject and outpaints semantically.
