Evidence-backed setup
Choose your MCP client. A client connects to the MCP server; the language model is selected inside that client. Only stored, source-backed configurations are shown.
Transport not recorded
No sufficient client-specific setup evidence has been stored from the publisher or client documentation.
Publisher-documented setup is not the same as MCP100 execution testing. “MCP100 logic checked” means the stored configuration shape was reviewed, not that third-party MCP software was run.

[!WARNING] This local MCP server is deprecated in favor of the ElevenLabs hosted MCP server.
The hosted server is available at
https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp, with nothing to install or run locally. It authenticates with OAuth, so no API keys are copied into your client. See the hosted MCP server documentation to connect from Claude, Cursor, or any other MCP client.This repository is no longer actively maintained.
For other clients like Cursor and Windsurf, run:
pip install elevenlabs-mcppython -m elevenlabs_mcp --api-key={{PUT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE}} --print to get the configuration. Paste it into appropriate configuration directory specified by your MCP client.That's it. Your MCP client can now interact with ElevenLabs through these tools:
⚠️ Warning: ElevenLabs credits are needed to use these tools.
Try asking Claude:
You can configure how the MCP server handles file outputs using these environment variables in your claude_desktop_config.json:
ELEVENLABS_MCP_BASE_PATH: Specify the base path for file operations (default: ~/Desktop). This directory is also the security boundary for input files: any path passed to a tool that reads a local file (e.g. speech_to_text, isolate_audio, speech_to_speech, video_to_music, upload_music_for_inpainting) must resolve inside this directory, whether given as an absolute or relative path. Paths outside it — even if absolute and previously accepted — are rejected. Set this to a directory that contains everything you need to read from or write to.ELEVENLABS_MCP_OUTPUT_MODE: Control how generated files are returned (default: files)The ELEVENLABS_MCP_OUTPUT_MODE environment variable supports three modes:
files (default): Save files to disk and return file paths
"env": {
"ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"ELEVENLABS_MCP_OUTPUT_MODE": "files"
}
resources: Return files as MCP resources; binary data is base64-encoded, text is returned as UTF-8 text
"env": {
"ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"ELEVENLABS_MCP_OUTPUT_MODE": "resources"
}
both: Save files to disk AND return as MCP resources
"env": {
"ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
"ELEVENLABS_MCP_OUTPUT_MODE": "both"
}
Resource Mode Benefits:
both mode, resources can be fetched later using the elevenlabs://filename URI patternUse Cases:
files: Traditional file-based workflows, local developmentresources: Cloud environments, MCP clients without file system accessboth: Maximum flexibility, caching, and resource sharing scenariosYou can specify the data residency region with the ELEVENLABS_API_RESIDENCY environment variable. Defaults to "us".
Note: Data residency is an enterprise only feature. See the docs for more details.

Install the server in Claude Desktop: mcp install elevenlabs_mcp/server.py
Debug and test locally with MCP Inspector: mcp dev elevenlabs_mcp/server.py
Logs when running with Claude Desktop can be found at:
%APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp-server-elevenlabs.log~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-elevenlabs.logCertain ElevenLabs API operations, like voice design and audio isolation, can take a long time to resolve. When using the MCP inspector in dev mode, you might get timeout errors despite the tool completing its intended task.
This shouldn't occur when using a client like Claude.
If you encounter the error "MCP ElevenLabs: spawn uvx ENOENT", confirm its absolute path by running this command in your terminal:
which uvx
Once you obtain the absolute path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/uvx), update your configuration to use that path (e.g., "command": "/usr/local/bin/uvx"). This ensures that the correct executable is referenced.
