ElevenLabs Scribe MCP Server

Connect ElevenLabs Scribe to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Model Control Protocol (MCP) server for ElevenLabs Scribe ASR API. The elevenlabs scribe mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

A Model Control Protocol (MCP) server implementation for ElevenLabs' Scribe speech-to-text API, providing real-time transcription capabilities with advanced context management and bidirectional streaming.

• Real-time Transcription — Stream audio directly from your microphone and get instant transcriptions
• File-based Transcription — Upload audio files for batch processing
• MCP Protocol Support — Full implementation of the Model Control Protocol for better context management
• WebSocket Support — Real-time bidirectional communication
• Context Management — Maintain conversation context for improved transcription accuracy
• Multiple Audio Formats — Support for various audio formats with automatic conversion

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: ELEVENLABS_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

• Python 3.8+ - FastAPI - Uvicorn - PyAudio (for microphone support) - aiohttp - python-dotenv - pydantic

Where it fits

Among the AI and media services options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by aromanstatue; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
