How to Use the Midjourney MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor download Midjourney images directly to my local project?

Yes, when Cursor executes imagine or upscale, it receives the remote image URLs. You can ask your Cursor agent to download these assets directly into your project's public folder.

Q: How does the Midjourney integration handle task polling inside Cursor?

The agent uses gettaskstatus to monitor the progress of your active generations. It will wait for the API to complete the task before writing the final image path into your code files.

Q: Can I run image variations from the Cursor terminal?

Yes, you can instruct the Cursor agent to call variation on any active task ID. The agent will retrieve the task ID from gettasks and trigger the variation without requiring manual UI interaction.

Generate UI mockups and asset variations directly in Cursor using Midjourney tools while writing your frontend code.

Generate live UI assets while coding in Cursor

Drop a prompt into the Cursor Composer and let your agent run `imagine` to generate UI mockups or placeholder assets. You don't have to leave your code editor to grab assets from a browser or Discord. This MCP integration returns real image URLs and task IDs that Cursor can write directly into your local HTML or React components. Your agent tracks the generation using `get_task_status` and updates the file with the final asset path.

Reverse engineer style assets inside your codebase

Point Cursor to an existing local image in your project workspace and call `describe` to extract its visual parameters. This allows your agent to match the exact aesthetic of your current project when generating new assets through this MCP connection. If a generated asset requires structural tweaks, run `variation` or `reroll` directly from the Cursor terminal. You get code-level control over asset iteration, matching the speed of your development cycle.

Blend and modify visual components from your editor

Combine multiple design references using `blend` directly from your workspace files. Your Cursor agent uploads the paths, executes the blend, and spits out a unified design file for your interface. Use `inpaint` to edit localized regions of an image asset without altering the rest of your UI component. You can query `get_tasks` to inspect your recent generations and pull down the exact asset IDs you need.

Setup guide

Set up Midjourney MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Midjourney MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Midjourney transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Midjourney tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
