How to Use the ElevenLabs MCP in Cursor

Q: How does Cursor use ElevenLabs to generate voice assets during coding?

The editor runs texttospeech directly from the chat pane. This returns raw audio metadata, allowing you to verify the output without switching to a browser.

Q: Can I reference my ElevenLabs voice library inside Cursor?

Yes, the editor queries listvoices to pull your custom voice profiles. You can copy the exact voice IDs directly into your source code.

Q: How does Cursor track my ElevenLabs character consumption?

Your agent calls getsubscription to check your current billing tier. It displays your remaining characters right inside your active workspace.

Q: Can I fetch metadata for past voice generations?

The tool gethistoryitem retrieves specific historical records. You can inspect previous audio run parameters directly from your editor console.

Write code that generates lifelike audio by calling ElevenLabs tools directly within the Cursor editor.

Code and test voice generation in Cursor

Generating audio files happens directly inside Cursor with the `text_to_speech` tool. Cursor developers write codebase integrations while inspecting real-time audio payloads. Having live ElevenLabs API feedback changes how you debug audio in Cursor. Our Cursor editor interface requests voice specs through `get_voice` to populate your speech code templates with real IDs.

Monitor voice models and quotas in this MCP Server

To let your Cursor editor know which speech synthesis engines are active, this ElevenLabs MCP Server provides `list_models`. Selecting the right voice model tier happens automatically based on your Cursor codebase requirements. Tracking ElevenLabs costs during Cursor development is straightforward. By calling `get_subscription`, Cursor displays your remaining character balance directly in the sidebar.

Review generation logs and terms inside Cursor

The `list_pronunciation_dictionaries` tool helps Cursor align custom vocabulary files with your remote ElevenLabs assets over MCP. Your Cursor development flow remains uninterrupted when handling specialized voice language rules. Reviewing previous ElevenLabs generations inside Cursor prevents redundant API calls. Using `list_history`, your Cursor agent scans your deployment history to pull down existing sound files.

Setup guide

Set up ElevenLabs MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

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

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the ElevenLabs MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent ElevenLabs transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the ElevenLabs tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

  "mcpServers": {
    "elevenlabs-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
