How to Use the ElevenLabs MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the ElevenLabs MCP server to Windsurf?

Add the server configuration to your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file. You can also use the Settings -> Cascade -> MCP Servers UI. Just click refresh in the panel once it finishes loading.

Q: Can Windsurf and ElevenLabs automatically check my API limits?

Yes. Cascade reads your current usage limits by calling getsubscriptioninfo. It knows exactly how many characters you have left before it starts generating new audio.

Q: How do I download the audio files generated by ElevenLabs in Windsurf?

Cascade uses listaudiohistory to find the generation ID, then calls getdownloadlink. It can then write that downloaded file straight into your project directory.

Give Windsurf the ability to generate lifelike speech, manage custom voices, and track usage automatically through Cascade.

Perplexity

Autonomous Windsurf MCP Server pipelines.

Cascade doesn't just call a single API endpoint. It plans out the whole sequence. You tell it to build an audio preview feature, and it checks your account limits with `get_subscription_info` before doing anything else. Then it grabs the right neural model via `list_models`, finds a suitable voice using `list_voices`, and generates the audio with `text_to_speech`. It handles the entire chain without stopping to ask you for the next step.

Audio history and file management.

Generating audio leaves a trail of files. Cascade can clean up after itself or fetch past generations when you need them for a project. It pulls your past runs using `list_audio_history` and grabs the specific URL with `get_download_link`. If you mess up a generation, your agent can immediately wipe the record using `delete_history_item`.

Voice cloning control.

Custom voices require specific tuning. Your agent reads the exact parameters of your cloned voices using `get_voice` and `get_voice_settings`. If a cloned voice sounds off, Cascade can remove it from your account with `delete_voice`. You manage your entire voice library directly from the editor.

Setup guide

Set up ElevenLabs MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the ElevenLabs MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my ElevenLabs payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the ElevenLabs tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about ElevenLabs MCP in Windsurf

Add the server configuration to your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file. You can also use the Settings -> Cascade -> MCP Servers UI. Just click refresh in the panel once it finishes loading.

Yes. Cascade reads your current usage limits by calling `get_subscription_info`. It knows exactly how many characters you have left before it starts generating new audio.

Not directly through this MCP server. The integration provides `get_voice` and `delete_voice` to manage existing clones, but you need to create the initial clone in the web dashboard first.

Cascade uses `list_audio_history` to find the generation ID, then calls `get_download_link`. It can then write that downloaded file straight into your project directory.

Your text inputs and generated audio files are logged in your account history. Windsurf passes the text to the API, and the server retains it until you explicitly run `delete_history_item` to wipe the record. Vinkius isolates this connection so no other services access your API key.
