Yes, you can. By executing listvoices and getvoice, the agent fetches your custom-trained profiles to trigger voice generation with your exact brand voice.

Ask your agent to verify your limits. It executes getsubscription to pull your exact remaining characters and plan details directly into the chat.

Q: Can this server list my existing dubbing projects?

Select and deploy voices in Claude Desktop

The `text_to_speech` tool transforms written text into audio files directly from your desktop chat window. Your agent scans your custom voice list via `list_voices` to select the exact vocal profile needed for your specific script. You get immediate speech synthesis renders without leaving the Claude Desktop interface. Claude Desktop coordinates with `get_voice` to inspect specific voice settings, ensuring the output matches your exact tonal requirements before starting the render.

Manage pronunciation dictionaries in this MCP Server

This ElevenLabs MCP Server exposes `list_pronunciation_dictionaries` so Claude Desktop can handle specialized industry jargon during synthesis. Our desktop client inspects your active dictionaries directly in the conversation to prevent mispronunciations during automated speech generation. Switching ElevenLabs speech engines inside Claude Desktop takes a single chat command. By running `list_models`, the desktop client identifies which multilingual or low-latency model fits the current text processing speed requirement.

Track voice projects and history from Claude Desktop

To avoid generating identical files twice, your Claude Desktop chat interface retrieves past ElevenLabs audio renders using `list_history` through the MCP endpoint. If you need details on a specific speech file, the Claude Desktop agent calls `get_history_item` to grab the metadata. Monitoring your ElevenLabs character usage happens in real-time inside your Claude Desktop panel. The agent queries `get_subscription` and `get_user_info` to ensure your team stays within monthly limits while managing complex localization work inside `list_projects` in your desktop workspace.
