About ElevenLabs
The ElevenLabs plugin adds voice AI skills for coding agents, with a hosted service for managing voice agents and generating speech. Its skills also cover music, sound effects, images, and video, and it supports Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex.
Key features
- 01Manage voice agents
- 02Text-to-speech and transcription
- 03Generate music and sound effects
- 04Generate images and video
- 05Build and test agent workflows
Use cases
- 01Create and configure voice agents
- 02Dub content into other languages
- 03Generate speech or sound effects from text
MCP support
The plugin connects to ElevenLabs’ hosted MCP server, using OAuth to access agent-management and text-to-speech tools. No local installation or API key is required.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

What's included
Skills
Skills live in three trees:
- skills/general/ — general ElevenLabs product skills, copied from the official elevenlabs/skills repository. Don't edit these here; contribute upstream instead.
- skills/mcp/ — plugin-native skills that teach agents how to drive the bundled ElevenLabs MCP server.
- architect/skills/ — Architect skills: opinionated workflows for building and iterating on ElevenLabs agents, mirrored from the internal Architect plugin. Shared payload examples live in architect/reference/.

| creative-studio | Generate speech, images, and video, and transcribe audio via the bundled MCP server |
Architect skills:
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| agent-simplification | Simplify a complex workflow agent into a leaner architecture, proven equivalent by a test suite |
| architect-agent-memory | Persist facts an agent should remember, in a durable branch-scoped way |
| architect-branches-versions-merge | Work with agent branches, versions, drafts, traffic splits, and merges |
| architect-create-client-tool | Add a client tool that runs in the caller's browser, app, or SDK |
| architect-create-llm-test | Create a single-turn test that checks what the agent says |
| architect-create-simulation-test | Create a multi-turn test where a simulated user talks to the agent |
| architect-create-tool-test | Create a test asserting the agent calls, or avoids, a specific tool |
| architect-create-webhook-tool | Give an agent a new webhook tool that calls an external API |
| architect-edit-existing-tool | Change an existing tool on an agent safely |
| architect-edit-string-fields | Edit long text fields like system prompts without clobbering the rest |
| architect-edit-workflows | Build or change an agent's workflow graph |
| architect-explain-test-runs | Explain why a test or test run passed or failed |

MCP Server
The ElevenLabs hosted MCP server — no local install, no API key. Your agent authenticates with your ElevenLabs account over OAuth and gets access to agent management (create, update, list, duplicate, delete agents; inspect widget config, links, and knowledge base size; estimate LLM usage) and text-to-speech generation. Configured in mcp.json.
Installation
Cursor
Install from the Cursor marketplace, or add this repo as a plugin. When Cursor connects to the MCP server, sign in with your ElevenLabs account to complete the OAuth flow.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add elevenlabs/plugin
/plugin install elevenlabs@elevenlabs
Or install directly for development: claude --plugin-dir /path/to/plugin
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add elevenlabs/plugin
Then install via /plugins in Codex, or invoke skills with $skill-name.
Skills only (any agent)
npx skills add elevenlabs/skills
Requirements
- An ElevenLabs account — you'll sign in via OAuth when your agent connects to the MCP server
- Internet access
Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
