This tutorial covers how to add the [ElevenLabs MCP Server](https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix) as a Goose extension to enable AI-powered voice generation, voice cloning, audio editing, and speech-to-text transcription.
:::tip TLDR
[Launch the installer](goose://extension?cmd=uvx&arg=elevenlabs-mcp&id=elevenlabs&name=ElevenLabs&description=ElevenLabs%20voice%20synthesis%20server&env=ELEVENLABS_API_KEY)
**Command**
```sh
uvx elevenlabs-mcp
```
**Environment Variable**
```
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY:

## Configuration
:::info
Note that you'll need [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/#installation) installed on your system to run this command, as it uses `uvx`.
:::
1. [Launch the installer](goose://extension?cmd=uvx&arg=elevenlabs-mcp&id=elevenlabs&name=ElevenLabs&description=ElevenLabs%20voice%20synthesis%20server&env=ELEVENLABS_API_KEY)
2. Press `Yes` to confirm the installation
3. Click `Save Configuration`
4. Scroll to the top and click `Exit` from the upper left corner
1. Run the `configure` command:
```sh
goose configure
```

## Example Usage
In this example, I’ll show you how to use Goose with the ElevenLabs Extension to create AI-generated voiceovers for a YouTube Short. Goose will take a sample script I provided, generate a narrated version using different AI voices, and seamlessly switch tones mid-script to match the content flow.
By connecting to the ElevenLabs MCP server, Goose can transform plain text into natural-sounding speech, offering multiple voice styles and character options — all without any manual recording or editing.
### Goose Prompt
> Hey Goose, create a script for me for my youtube short video, I want there to be two different voices. The first voice should cut me off and be a human narrator style and then switch to a cassual AI tone after I read the prompt. Here's an example of a YT short script I've done in the past:
Wait… Within Seconds, Goose performed Security Audits Across Multiple Projects?! 🔥
Lets, plug & play to find out how
Let’s provide Goose with the command it needs to connect to the Filesystem MCP server extension…
Now lets play
propmt: "Hey Goose, I need to perform a security audit across multiple projects. Let's check for…🔹 Hardcoded Credentials – API keys, passwords, and secrets left in the code.🔹 SQL Injection Risks – Unsafe queries that could expose data.🔹 Insecure Cryptographic Practices – Weak encryption methods that put data at risk.AND🔹 Exposed Config Files – Sensitive information that shouldn't be public.🔹 Outdated Dependencies – Security vulnerabilities in third-party libraries."
Go Goose, go Goose!
✅ Goose scanned the entire codebase across 3 different projects, identified security risks, generated a detailed report with fixes and provided me with step by step instructions on how I can test and verify these code fixes!
If that’s not amazing idk what is …
