Introduction

Manage your Elevenlabs directly from Claude Code with zero worries about OAuth hassles, API-breaking issues, or reliability and security concerns.

You can do this in two different ways:

  1. Via Rube - Direct and easiest approach
  2. Via Composio SDK - Programmatic approach with more control

Why Rube?

Rube is a universal MCP server with access to 850+ SaaS apps. It ensures just-in-time tool loading so Claude can access the tools it needs, a remote workbench for programmatic tool calling and handling large tool responses out of the LLM context window, ensuring the LLM context window remains clean.

What is the Elevenlabs MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Elevenlabs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Elevenlabs account. It provides structured and secure access to your voice synthesis projects and tools, so your agent can perform actions like generating audio from text, managing custom voices, organizing projects, and fine-tuning pronunciation on your behalf.

  • Project and chapter audio conversion: Instantly convert text content from chapters or entire projects into high-quality, natural-sounding audio files.
  • Custom voice creation and management: Guide your agent to add, finalize, or share custom voices—either by uploading new samples or assembling voices from existing data.
  • Pronunciation dictionary and rule management: Improve the accuracy of speech outputs by adding pronunciation dictionaries or custom pronunciation rules directly from files or specific aliases/phonemes.
  • Project organization and automation: Let your agent create new projects, add or remove chapters, and automate speech synthesis workflows for audiobooks, podcasts, or media production.
  • Embeddable audio player generation: Enable your agent to generate AudioNative projects, creating customizable and embeddable audio players from your content with just a prompt.

Connecting Elevenlabs via Tool Router

Tool Router is the underlying tech that powers Rube. It's a universal gateway that does everything Rube does but with much more programmatic control. You can programmatically generate an MCP URL with the app you need (here Elevenlabs) for even more tool search precision. It's secure and reliable.

How the Tool Router works

The Tool Router follows a three-phase workflow:

  1. Discovery: Searches for tools matching your task and returns relevant toolkits with their details.
  2. Authentication: Checks for active connections. If missing, creates an auth config and returns a connection URL via Auth Link.
  3. Execution: Executes the action using the authenticated connection.

Step-by-step Guide

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
  • Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account
  • Composio API Key
  • A Elevenlabs account
  • Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript

Install Claude Code

bash
# macOS, Linux, WSL
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Windows PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

# Windows CMD
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd

To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system:

Set up Claude Code

bash
cd your-project-folder
claude

Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code:

  • Claude Code will open in your terminal
  • Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account
  • Complete the authentication flow
  • Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code
Claude Code initial setup showing sign-in prompt
Claude Code terminal after successful login

Set up environment variables

bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here

Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables:

  • COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from Composio dashboard)
  • USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier)

Install Composio library

pip install composio-core python-dotenv

Install the Composio Python library to create MCP sessions.

  • composio-core provides the core Composio functionality
  • python-dotenv loads environment variables from your .env file

Generate Composio MCP URL

import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["elevenlabs"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http elevenlabs-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')

Create a script to generate a Composio MCP URL for Elevenlabs. This URL will be used to connect Claude Code to Elevenlabs.

What's happening:
  • We import the Composio client and load environment variables
  • Create a Composio instance with your API key
  • Call create() to create a Tool Router session for Elevenlabs
  • The returned mcp.url is the MCP server URL that Claude Code will use
  • The script prints this URL so you can copy it

Run the script and copy the MCP URL

python generate_mcp_url.py

Run your Python script to generate the MCP URL.

  • The script connects to Composio and creates a Tool Router session
  • It prints the MCP URL and the exact command you need to run
  • Copy the entire claude mcp add command from the output

Add Elevenlabs MCP to Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add --transport http elevenlabs-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"

# Then restart Claude Code
exit
claude

In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is:

  • claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code
  • --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server
  • The server name (elevenlabs-composio) is how you'll reference it
  • The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session
  • --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication

After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect.

Verify the installation

bash
claude mcp list

Check that your Elevenlabs MCP server is properly configured.

  • This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code
  • You should see your elevenlabs-composio entry in the list
  • This confirms that Claude Code can now access Elevenlabs tools

If everything is wired up, you should see your elevenlabs-composio entry listed:

Claude Code MCP list showing the toolkit MCP server

Authenticate Elevenlabs

The first time you try to use Elevenlabs tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate.

  • Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Elevenlabs
  • It will show you an authentication link
  • Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it)
  • Complete the Elevenlabs authorization flow
  • Return to the terminal and start using Elevenlabs through Claude Code

Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Elevenlabs operations in natural language. For example:

  • "Convert this chapter text to audio"
  • "Create a custom project for my audiobook"
  • "Add a new pronunciation rule for this word"

Complete Code

Here's the complete code to get you started with Elevenlabs and Claude Code:

import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["elevenlabs"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http elevenlabs-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Elevenlabs with Claude Code using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Elevenlabs directly from your terminal using natural language commands.

Key features of this setup:

  • Terminal-native experience without switching contexts
  • Natural language commands for Elevenlabs operations
  • Secure authentication through Composio's managed MCP
  • Tool Router for dynamic tool discovery and execution

Next steps:

  • Try asking Claude Code to perform various Elevenlabs operations

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Elevenlabs MCP?

With a standalone Elevenlabs MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Elevenlabs tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Elevenlabs and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Code?

Yes, you can. Claude Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Elevenlabs tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Elevenlabs while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Elevenlabs scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Elevenlabs data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
