Local MCP server deprecated: The local ElevenLabs MCP server and MCP player are deprecated in favor of the hosted MCP server.

ElevenLabs has deprecated its local [ElevenLabs](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/elevenlabs>) MCP server and MCP player in favour of a hosted version. Both local repositories are now archived and will no longer receive updates.

The [hosted MCP server](<https://elevenlabs.io/docs/changelog/2026/8/22#mcp-server>) is available at api.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp, signs in through OAuth with an ElevenLabs account, and needs no local installation or API key. Setup instructions are provided for Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients.
