Midjourney — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the

midjourney-pp-cli

binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to

$HOME/.local/bin

on macOS/Linux and

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin

on Windows:

bash

npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install midjourney --cli-only

Verify:
```
midjourney-pp-cli --version
```
Ensure the reported install directory is on
```
$PATH
```
for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the

npx

install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):

bash

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/ai/midjourney/cmd/midjourney-pp-cli@latest

--version

reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on

$PATH

. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

When Not to Use This CLI

Most generated endpoint commands are read-only inspection commands. Do not use mutating commands unless the user explicitly asks to submit Midjourney work. In particular,

imagine

and

rerun

create remote Midjourney jobs, and

download

writes a local file.

HTTP Transport

This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

Discovery Signals

This CLI was generated with browser-observed traffic context.

Capture coverage: 62 API entries from 62 total network entries
Protocols: rest_json (75% confidence)
Generation hints: browser_http_transport, requires_protected_client
Candidate command ideas: list_contests_ranking_count — Derived from observed GET /api/contests-ranking-count traffic.; list_editor_sessions_sync — Derived from observed GET /api/editor-sessions-sync traffic.; list_explore — Derived from observed GET /api/explore traffic.; list_explore_styles_likes — Derived from observed GET /api/explore-styles-likes traffic.; list_folders — Derived from observed GET /api/folders traffic.; list_following_for_user — Derived from observed GET /api/following-for-user traffic.; list_get_user_country — Derived from observed GET /api/get-user-country traffic.; list_imagine — Derived from observed GET /api/imagine traffic.

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

bash

midjourney-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which

resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code

means at least one match; exit code

means no confident match — fall back to

--help

or use a narrower query.

Auth Setup

Run

midjourney-pp-cli auth setup

to print the URL and steps for getting a key (add

--launch

to open the URL). Then set:

bash

export MIDJOURNEY_COOKIE_HEADER="<your-key>"

Or persist it in ``.

Run

midjourney-pp-cli doctor

to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add

--agent

to any command. Expands to:

--json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes

Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
Filterable —
```
--select
```
keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:
bash
```
midjourney-pp-cli explore list --agent --select id,name,status
```
Previewable —
```
--dry-run
```
shows the request without sending
Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

json

{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse

.results

for data and

.meta.source

to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable

N results (live)

summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (

--json

--csv

--compact

--quiet

--plain

--select

) is set — piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

midjourney-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
midjourney-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
midjourney-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at

~/.midjourney-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl

. They are never POSTed unless

MIDJOURNEY_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT

is set AND either

--send

is passed or

MIDJOURNEY_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true

. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts

--deliver <sink>

. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

Sink	Effect
`stdout`	Default; write to stdout only
`file:<path>`	Atomically write output to `<path>` (tmp + rename)
`webhook:<url>`	POST the output body to the URL ( `application/json` or `application/x-ndjson` when `--compact` )

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

midjourney-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
midjourney-pp-cli --profile briefing explore list
midjourney-pp-cli profile list --json
midjourney-pp-cli profile show briefing
midjourney-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults.

agent-context

lists all available profiles under

available_profiles

so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Success
2	Usage error (wrong arguments)
3	Resource not found
4	Authentication required
5	API error (upstream issue)
7	Rate limited (wait and retry)
10	Config error

MCP Server Installation

Install the MCP server:

bash

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/ai/midjourney/cmd/midjourney-pp-mcp@latest

bash

claude mcp add midjourney-pp-mcp -- midjourney-pp-mcp

Verify:
```
claude mcp list
```

Direct Use

Check if installed:
```
which midjourney-pp-cli
```
If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.

Execute with the

--agent

flag:

bash

midjourney-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent

If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help:
```
midjourney-pp-cli <command> --help
```
.
