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:
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 1.26.4 or newer):
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/ai/midjourney/cmd/midjourney-pp-cli@latest
If --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:
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 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 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:
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:
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:
{
"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 |
Argument Parsing
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
- Empty,
help, or --help → show midjourney-pp-cli --help output
- Starts with
install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
- Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with
--agent)
MCP Server Installation
- Install the MCP server:
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/ai/midjourney/cmd/midjourney-pp-mcp@latest
- Register with Claude Code:
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:
midjourney-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
- If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help:
midjourney-pp-cli <command> --help.
