ElevenLabs MCP

Officialby ElevenLabsfreemiumverified Aug 17, 2026

Official ElevenLabs server: TTS, voice cloning, SFX, music, and dialogue isolation.

What it does

The official ElevenLabs MCP server exposes the full audio platform: text-to-speech with thousands of voices, voice cloning and design, text-to-sound-effects, Eleven Music composition, transcription, and audio isolation. Recent releases add video_to_music, which scores an existing cut, and music inpainting for replacing a section of a generated track. For a filmmaker-agent it covers dialogue, SFX, and score from a single API key — the most complete one-stop audio MCP for a film pipeline.

Field notes

Do not confuse this with the hosted ElevenLabs MCP announced 17 Aug 2026 at https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp: that endpoint is OAuth and needs no key, but it manages voice and chat agents — creating, duplicating, comparing and costing them — and ElevenLabs' own /mcp page says creative tools are 'coming soon'. None of the audio generation this entry is listed for is on it yet, which is why remote_url stays null; the 2025 local server 'remains available for developer workflows'. Actively maintained and unchanged on re-check: PyPI elevenlabs-mcp 0.12.2 (4 Aug 2026), repo pushed 14 Aug 2026, MIT, ~1.5k stars, Python >=3.11. ELEVENLABS_MCP_BASE_PATH (default ~/Desktop) is a hard security boundary for input files as well as output — any local path a tool reads must resolve inside it, so point it at your media root or reads will be rejected. Other env: ELEVENLABS_MCP_OUTPUT_MODE (files/resources/both, default files), ELEVENLABS_API_RESIDENCY (enterprise-only, so ignore it on a normal plan). Credits are consumed by every tool. Local stdio only — ElevenLabs' hosted MCP is for managing Agents, not this audio toolset. If uvx is awkward in your setup the README also documents `pip install elevenlabs-mcp` plus `python -m elevenlabs_mcp --api-key=KEY --print` to emit a config block.
