ElevenLabs retires its local MCP tools.

ElevenLabs hosted MCP

ElevenLabs deprecated its local MCP server and player, archived their repositories and directed users to a hosted connection. Compatible assistants can use documented agent-management and text-to-speech tools through it.

Access & limits. OAuth connects an ElevenLabs account and grants workspace capabilities, including agent changes. Regional workspaces have different accounts and URLs. The documented connection does not expose the entire audio API.

Why it matters · AI-Buzz’s readingA hosted connection reduces local setup, but existing integrations need migration. The permissions deserve attention because an assistant can change agents as well as read information.

Dubbing v2 reaches the API.

Dubbing v2 API

ElevenLabs made its newer dubbing model available through an API, allowing developers to build translated audio into media workflows. This is the API release, not the model’s original launch.

Access & limits. An API key is required. Each project has a minimum charge for one language; further target languages cost extra. Transcript editing and regeneration endpoints are Enterprise-only, and regeneration is charged like generation.

Why it matters · AI-Buzz’s readingAutomating a dubbing workflow can reduce manual transfers between tools. An error in the source transcript can still carry into the translation, so review remains necessary.
