Midjourney MCP Tools for Claude Code (9)
These 9 tools become available when you connect Midjourney to Claude Code via MCP:
blend
Provide URLs of existing images to blend together. Optionally add a text prompt to guide the blend. Blend multiple images together into one composition
describe
Useful for understanding how to recreate styles and compositions. Generate a text prompt from an image (reverse engineer)
get_task_status
Returns progress percentage, image URLs when ready, and available actions (upscale/variation). Check the status of an image generation task
get_tasks
Useful for monitoring ongoing generations and finding image IDs for upscale/variation. List recent image generation tasks
imagine
The prompt should be in English and can include style modifiers like "--ar 16:9" for aspect ratio, "--v 6" for version, "--s" for stylization. Returns a task ID and thumbnail URL. Use the task ID to check generation progress. Generate an image from text prompt using Midjourney
inpaint
The rest of the image remains unchanged. Edit a specific region of a generated image using a mask
reroll
Useful when none of the initial 4 images are satisfactory. Regenerate 4 new images with the same prompt
upscale
Returns the upscaled image URL. Upscale one of the 4 generated images to higher resolution
variation
Useful for exploring different interpretations of a concept. Create a variation of one of the 4 generated images
