Midjourney creates high-quality images from text, edits source images, animates still images into short videos, and can reverse-engineer prompt ideas from an image. WorkBuddy speaks MCP natively, so once RunAPI is registered as an MCP server, Midjourney shows up as a callable tool — no Discord bot workflow, browser automation, or separate media provider to maintain. - [Get API Key](https://runapi.ai/login) - [Read the docs](https://runapi.ai/docs/guides) one MCP server · one RunAPI key · image and video tasks ### Prompt ```text Use the runapi MCP server to generate a Midjourney image. Requirements: - Call the runapi create_task tool with service "midjourney" and action "text_to_image". - Set model to "midjourney-v8.1". - Set prompt to describe the image. - The task is async. Poll it with get_task until status is "completed". - When done, report the image URL from the task output. ``` ### MCP config ```bash { "mcp_servers": { "runapi": { "url": "https://runapi.ai/mcp", "transport": "streamable_http", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer $RUNAPI_API_KEY" } } } } ``` ### Response ```json { "task_id": "tsk_abc123", "status": "completed", "model": "midjourney-v8.1", "output": { "image_url": "https://media.runapi.ai/outputs/tsk_abc123.png" } } ``` ## Use Midjourney in WorkBuddy in three steps 1. **Add the RunAPI MCP server** - Register an MCP server named runapi in WorkBuddy, pointing at https://runapi.ai/mcp over streamable HTTP with your key read from RUNAPI_API_KEY. If RunAPI is already connected for chat, Midjourney tools are exposed by the same server. `url: https://runapi.ai/mcp auth: Bearer $RUNAPI_API_KEY ` 2. **Ask WorkBuddy for a Midjourney task** - Prompt the workbench agent to call the runapi create_task tool with service midjourney, action text_to_image, and model midjourney-v8.1. For editing or animation, have it switch the action to edit_image or image_to_video and include a source image URL. `create_task(service="midjourney", action="text_to_image", model="midjourney-v8.1", prompt="...") ` 3. **Poll for media** - The tool call returns a task_id immediately. WorkBuddy polls with the get_task tool until the status is completed, then hands the generated image or video URL back into the workbench conversation. `get_task(service="midjourney", task_id="tsk_abc123") ` ## Midjourney task parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `model` | `string` | Required. Use midjourney-v8.1 for text-to-image, midjourney-edit-image for editing, or midjourney-image-to-video for animation. | | `prompt` | `string` | Text instruction for image generation, editing, or motion guidance. | | `source_image_url` | `string` | Source image URL. Required for edit_image, image_to_video, and image_to_prompt. | | `image_id` | `string` | Required for get_seed. The Midjourney image id returned in a completed image response. | | `callback_url` | `string` | Optional. Webhook URL that receives a POST when an asynchronous task completes. | ## What is Midjourney on WorkBuddy? Midjourney is a creative AI image model line known for polished art direction, strong aesthetics, and cinematic visual composition. Through the RunAPI MCP server, WorkBuddy agents can use Midjourney as a normal tool: create images from prompts, edit a source image, animate a still frame into video, ask for prompt suggestions from an image, or retrieve a seed for reproducibility — all without leaving the workbench. ## Midjourney use cases - **Creative concept art** - Generate cinematic concept art, mood boards, and style exploration images directly from a WorkBuddy conversation. - **Marketing image variations** - Create polished campaign visuals, thumbnails, product scenes, and social creatives from a written brief, with the workbench agent iterating on prompts for you. - **Image-to-video motion tests** - Animate a selected image into a short video with motion guidance, then hand the result to downstream editing or publishing steps in the same workflow. ## Midjourney + WorkBuddy questions ### Can I use Midjourney inside WorkBuddy? Yes. WorkBuddy speaks MCP natively. Register RunAPI as an MCP server and Midjourney becomes a callable tool — ask the workbench agent for a text_to_image, edit_image, or image_to_video task and it drives the whole flow. ### Do I need Discord to use Midjourney from WorkBuddy? No. RunAPI exposes Midjourney as MCP tools with task IDs, polling, and callbacks. WorkBuddy sends a tool call and receives media URLs; it does not need to drive Discord or a browser. ### Which Midjourney model should I use? Use midjourney-v8.1 for text-to-image. Use midjourney-edit-image when you need prompt-guided edits from a source image, and midjourney-image-to-video when you want to animate a still image. ### Can Midjourney generate video from WorkBuddy? Yes. The image_to_video action animates a source image into a short video. Have WorkBuddy provide source_image_url and an optional prompt to guide motion or camera direction; RunAPI handles the async job and returns the finished URL. ### How does Midjourney pricing work on RunAPI? Midjourney uses pay-as-you-go task billing. Check the RunAPI model page for current rates before production use. The same RunAPI balance is shared with chat, image, video, music, and audio models called from WorkBuddy. - [WorkBuddy setup guide →](https://runapi.ai/workbuddy.md) - Not configured yet?
