modbender ElevenLabs MCP Server
This skill provides a comprehensive suite of 24 audio tools from ElevenLabs, exposed through a standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. When this skill is used, it starts the server, allowing the agent to directly call powerful audio generation and manipulation capabilities.
When to Use
This skill should be loaded by an agent platform (like OpenClaw) at startup. It is not meant to be called directly in a conversation but rather to provide the tools that other skills or the agent itself will use.
- For Agent Developers: Include this skill in your agent's default toolkit to give it a full range of audio abilities.
- For Users: You don't need to call this skill directly. Instead, use a skill like
audio-conductorwhich will intelligently use the tools provided by this server.
How It Works
- Server Initialization: When the skill is loaded, it executes the
tools/start_server.shscript. - Environment Setup: The script sets the
ELEVENLABS_API_KEYfrom the agent's environment variables. - Start MCP Server: It launches the
elevenlabs-mcpserver process in the background on a designated port (e.g., 8124). - Tool Registration: The server automatically registers all 24 of its tools (e.g.,
text_to_speech,compose_music) with the agent's MCP client. - Ready for Use: The agent can now see and call these tools directly as part of its decision-making process.

Usage in Other Skills
An orchestrator skill like audio-conductor would use these tools like this (conceptual example):
# Inside audio-conductor logic
if audio_type == 'sfx':
# Directly call the MCP tool provided by this server
result = await mcp.call_tool('text_to_sound_effects', {'text': prompt})
