SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users set up and verify an ElevenLabs API key so MCP tools can authenticate without repeated manual troubleshooting or guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Existing-key detection: Checks whether an ElevenLabs key is already available in the environment or .env file before asking for a new one.
  • Key validation: Confirms the key works by calling the ElevenLabs user endpoint and distinguishes valid, invalid, or expired credentials.
  • Secure configuration: Saves a working key into .env for reuse, making it easier to keep ElevenLabs integrations running across sessions.
  • Use case: A user can recover from a broken voice workflow, rotate an expired secret, or onboard ElevenLabs access for the first time.

Quick Start

Ask me to check your current ElevenLabs key, verify it, and save a new one to .env if needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up my ElevenLabs API key for MCP tools?▼

To set up your ElevenLabs API key, you can configure it by storing the secret in a local .env file, which allows MCP tools to authenticate automatically without manual input each session.

How can I verify if my ElevenLabs API key is valid?▼

You can verify an ElevenLabs API key by making a validation request to the https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/user endpoint, which confirms whether the credentials are active, invalid, or expired.

Does ElevenLabs MCP authentication check for existing API keys before creating a new one?▼

Yes, the authentication setup inspects your environment and .env file to detect an existing ElevenLabs API key before prompting you to generate or enter a new one.

What is the best way to rotate an expired ElevenLabs API key in a local environment?▼

The best way to rotate an expired ElevenLabs API key is to validate the new key remotely against the user endpoint and then safely update your .env file without exposing the secret.

Why does my ElevenLabs API key setup not working in my dotenv environment?▼

ElevenLabs API key setup may not work if the key is expired or invalid, which is determined by validating it against the https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/user endpoint before saving it to .env.
