How do I check if my Midjourney image is ready?

Use the `get_job` tool with the Job ID provided. Your agent will poll the API and report the current state (pending or completed). Once finished, it will return the final image URL or the 2x2 grid depending on your task.

Can I edit an image by zooming out or panning the camera through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the `pan_image` and `zoom_out_image` tools with a completed Job ID. Your agent will command Midjourney to expand the canvas or shift the focus in your specified direction, creating professional cinematographic edits.

What does the 'describe' tool do?

The `describe_image` tool reverse engineers prompts. Provide an image URL, and your agent will retrieve 4 candidate text descriptions from Midjourney, showing you the exact words and styles used to create that visual concept.

Midjourney AI (Generative Image Arts) + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Midjourney AI (Generative Image Arts) MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully — if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL — Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
