Hybrid Architecture Design
ElevenLabs MCP is innovatively designed with a hybrid architecture of local server + cloud API:
- The local server part is responsible for request scheduling and result caching to reduce network latency
- Cloud API handles core computing tasks to ensure voice quality
- Support developers to customize the port (default 8000) to meet the needs of different environments
This architecture protects data privacy (sensitive audio can be processed locally) while enjoying the processing power of the cloud. The free tier offers 10,000 API call credits per month, and the paid plan supports larger commercial deployments. Deployment requires pre-configuring the ELEVENLABS_API_KEY environment variable or passing the key parameter directly.
