How to Invite Midjourney Bot: Complete Guide 2025

\n\n## Introduction

Midjourney is a powerful AI art generator that allows you to create stunning images from text prompts. While you might initially use Midjourney within its official Discord server, inviting the Midjourney Bot to your private server offers a more personalized and controlled environment for your creative endeavors. This guide provides a detailed, step-by-step process for inviting the Midjourney Bot to your own Discord server, ensuring you can harness its creative potential in a space you manage.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• A Midjourney Subscription: You need an active Midjourney subscription to use the bot. Visit the Midjourney website (https://www.midjourney.com/) to subscribe if you haven't already.
• A Discord Account: You must have a Discord account. If you don't, create one at https://discord.com/.
• A Discord Server: You need a Discord server where you have administrator or "Manage Server" permissions. This is the server you'll invite the Midjourney Bot to. If you don't have one, create one in Discord.
• Sufficient Permissions: You must have the "Manage Server" permission in your Discord server to invite bots.

Step-by-Step Guide: Inviting the Midjourney Bot

Here's a detailed breakdown of how to invite the Midjourney Bot to your Discord server:

Step 1: Access the Midjourney Discord Server

• Open your Discord application or go to the Discord website in your web browser.
• Log in to your Discord account.
• Navigate to the official Midjourney Discord server. If you're a subscriber, you should already be a member. If not, you might need to find an invite link (often available on the Midjourney website or through their documentation).

Step 2: Locate the Midjourney Bot

• Once inside the Midjourney Discord server, look for the Midjourney Bot. You can usually find it in the member list on the right side of the screen. It's typically listed as "Midjourney Bot" and has the Midjourney logo as its profile picture.
• Alternatively, you can search for the bot in any of the #newbie channels by looking for messages generated by "Midjourney Bot".

Step 3: Initiate the Invitation Process

• There are two methods to initiate the invitation:

  • Method 1: Right-Click Invitation:

    • Right-click on the "Midjourney Bot" in the member list.
    • Select "Profile" from the context menu.
    • In the bot's profile, click the "Add to Server" button. This button might be represented by a Discord icon with a plus sign.

  • Method 2: Using a Direct Invite Link (If Available):

    • Sometimes, the Midjourney team provides a direct invite link. Keep an eye on their announcements or documentation for this link. This link would typically look something like: https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[BOT_CLIENT_ID]&permissions=8&scope=bot
    • If you have a direct invite link, simply paste it into your web browser and press Enter.

Step 4: Select Your Server

• After clicking "Add to Server" or using the invite link, you'll be redirected to Discord's authorization page in your web browser.
• In the "Add bot to" dropdown menu, select the Discord server you want to invite the Midjourney Bot to. Make sure you have the "Manage Server" permission in the server you choose.
• If you don't see your server listed, it means you either don't have the necessary permissions or you're not logged into the correct Discord account in your browser.

Step 5: Grant Permissions

• The authorization page will display a list of permissions the Midjourney Bot requests. These permissions are necessary for the bot to function correctly within your server.
• It's crucial to carefully review these permissions. The default permissions are usually sufficient, but you can customize them if you have specific needs. Generally, the bot will require permissions to:
  • Read Messages
  • Send Messages
  • Embed Links
  • Attach Files
  • Use External Emojis
  • Read Message History
  • Use Application Commands (essential for using /imagine)
• Important Note: Be cautious about granting excessive permissions to any bot. Only grant the permissions that are strictly necessary for its functionality.

Step 6: Authorize the Invitation

• After reviewing the permissions, click the "Authorize" button.
• You might be prompted to complete a reCAPTCHA verification to prove you're not a bot yourself. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the verification.

Step 7: Verify the Bot's Presence in Your Server

• Once you've authorized the invitation, the Midjourney Bot should be added to your Discord server.
• Go to your Discord server and check the member list. The "Midjourney Bot" should now be listed.
• You might also see a welcome message from the bot in one of your channels (usually the default channel or a channel you've designated for bot activity).

Step 8: Configure Channel Permissions (Optional but Recommended)

• To ensure a smooth and organized experience, it's highly recommended to configure channel permissions for the Midjourney Bot.
• Create a Dedicated Channel: Create a new channel specifically for Midjourney Bot interactions. This will help keep your main channels clean and prevent spam. For example, you could create a channel named #midjourney-creations or #ai-art.
• Set Channel Permissions:
  • Right-click on the channel you created and select "Edit Channel".
  • Go to the "Permissions" tab.
  • Under "Roles/Members", find the "@everyone" role. By default, everyone in your server will have access to this channel. You can restrict access here if needed.
  • Find the "Midjourney Bot" in the "Roles/Members" list. If it's not there, add it.
  • For the "Midjourney Bot", ensure it has the necessary permissions to:
    • View Channel
    • Send Messages
    • Embed Links
    • Attach Files
    • Read Message History
    • Use Application Commands
  • Consider disabling "Send Messages" for the "@everyone" role in the Midjourney channel to prevent users from chatting in that channel and only allowing them to interact with the bot. This helps keep the channel focused on image generation.

Step 9: Start Generating Images!

• Now that the Midjourney Bot is in your server and the permissions are configured, you can start generating images.
• Go to the channel where you want to use the bot (ideally the dedicated channel you created).
• Use the /imagine command followed by your text prompt. For example: /imagine a futuristic cityscape at sunset.
• Press Enter to submit your prompt. The Midjourney Bot will then begin generating images based on your input.
