🐛 Troubleshooting

API Key Issues

The server accepts both xi- and sk- format keys. If you're getting authentication errors:

  1. Verify your API key at https://elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys
  2. Ensure the environment variable is set correctly
  3. Try setting ELEVENLABS_DEBUG=true for detailed error messages

MCP Connection Issues

# Check server status
claude mcp list

# View configuration
claude mcp get elevenlabs

# Remove and re-add if needed
claude mcp remove elevenlabs -s user

Output Issues

  • For cleaner output: Leave ELEVENLABS_DEBUG unset or set to "false"
  • For verbose output: Set ELEVENLABS_DEBUG=true
