ElevenLabs publishes its own hosted MCP server at api.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp. You sign in with your ElevenLabs account, so no API key is copied into your client. It lets an assistant create, update and test your voice agents and generate speech from text. The older local ElevenLabs server, which covered voice cloning and transcription, is archived and marked deprecated, so community servers with an API key are now the way to reach those features.

Good for

  • People who build and tune ElevenLabs voice agents from Claude or Cursor
  • Creators who want an assistant to generate speech, music or sound effects
  • Anyone who wants account sign-in instead of pasting an API key
  • Teams on an EU, India or Singapore data residency workspace

Questions

Is there an official ElevenLabs MCP server?

Yes. ElevenLabs runs a hosted MCP server at https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp that you sign in to with OAuth. It also published a local server, but that repository is archived and its README says it is deprecated in favor of the hosted one.

What can the official hosted server do?

It manages ElevenLabs agents: create and update them, review conversations and transcripts, run tests, and work with branches and knowledge base documents. It can also generate speech audio from text and return a short-lived download link.

Does it need an API key?

Not the official hosted server. It uses OAuth sign-in with your ElevenLabs account and no API key is copied into the client. Community servers such as Mindstone and MCP Armory need your ElevenLabs API key.

Can the official server change or delete my agents?

Yes. Its docs list duplicating and deleting agents, and say an update is published directly to the branch you target, or main by default, not staged as a draft. Point it at a branch if you want to review changes first.

Does it work in Claude?

Yes. The hosted server is in the Claude Desktop connectors directory: open Settings > Connectors, search for ElevenLabs and sign in. Other MCP clients can point at the same URL and complete the OAuth flow.

How do I connect if my workspace is in the EU, India or Singapore?

Add a custom connector with your region's URL instead of the default one. The docs give https://api.eu.residency.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp, https://api.in.residency.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp and https://api.sg.residency.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp. Sign in with your account for that environment, not your elevenlabs.io account.

Which server can clone voices or dub video?

Community servers with an API key. The Mindstone README lists voice cloning, dubbing, voice design and transcription among its 32 tools, and the MCP Armory README lists 244 tools for the ElevenLabs API.

Is it free?

The servers themselves are free to install, but generating audio uses ElevenLabs credits. The archived local server's README says ElevenLabs has a free tier with 10k credits per month.

What is the mcp-dir server?

It is a hosted gateway at api.mcp.ai that sits in front of your own ElevenLabs API key, with magic-link login. Its README lists 149 tools and read and write access, so treat it like any third party that holds your key.
