Ofaudio

An agent-first MCP server for any audio an AI agent needs — generate (music, sound effects, speech, multi-speaker dialogue) and transform (transcribe, caption, isolate/denoise, voice-convert/dub) — behind one intent-shaped tool surface. It wraps ElevenLabs (speech, dialogue, SFX, voice library/design/cloning, music, transcription, isolation, speech-to-speech) and Mureka (music, lyrics), does the work in-process, and writes files to the local filesystem. Games, audiobooks, podcasts, video, ads, accessibility, localization — all one MCP.

Built to be driven by an agent, never a human clicking a UI. Every generation call returns a job_id instantly and runs in the background, so an agent can fan out many variants without blocking, then collect them with check_jobs.

Configure (environment)

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your keys (.env is gitignored). Set at least one provider's key. Keys accept a singular or plural form; the plural is comma-separated and becomes a multi-account pool (see Parallelism).

Env var	Default	Purpose
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY / ELEVENLABS_API_KEYS	—	ElevenLabs key(s) — voice + SFX. Works with a subscription tier or pure pay-as-you-go.
MUREKA_API_KEY / MUREKA_API_KEYS	—	Mureka key(s) — music. Prepaid API credits.
OFAUDIO_OUT_DIR	./ofaudio-out	Where audio files are written.
OFAUDIO_STATE_DIR	<OUT_DIR>/.state	Job records (JSON) + presets.json.
OFAUDIO_ELEVENLABS_LANES	3	Concurrent requests per ElevenLabs key.
OFAUDIO_MUREKA_LANES	1	Concurrent requests per Mureka key (Mureka caps at 1/account).
OFAUDIO_POLL_INTERVAL	5	Seconds between polls for async (Mureka) jobs.
OFAUDIO_JOB_TIMEOUT	300	Max seconds to wait for one generation.
OFAUDIO_MUREKA_MODEL	auto	Pin a Mureka model (e.g. the V9 flagship string) once confirmed on a live key.
OFAUDIO_ELEVENLABS_MODEL	eleven_v3	TTS model; drop to eleven_multilingual_v2 if v3 isn't on the key's tier.
OFAUDIO_ELEVENLABS_VOICE	Rachel	Default voice id when a call doesn't specify one.
ELEVENLABS_BASE_URL / MUREKA_BASE_URL	official	Override API base URLs.

A key entry may be label:key to name the lane in logs and job results (e.g. MUREKA_API_KEYS="acct-a:ak_...,acct-b:ak_...").

Tools

Tool	What it does
generate_music(prompt, duration?, instrumental?, reference?, lyrics?, engine?, format?, count?, composition_plan?, store_for_inpainting?, respect_sections_durations?)	Themes, BGM, songs, instrumentals. Soft-defaults to Mureka (prompt→song writes its own lyrics; pass lyrics for your own; reference = local/URL track → vibe-match; format defaults to lossless flac; count 1–3). engine="elevenlabs" = Eleven Music (composition_plan replaces prompt; store_for_inpainting → song_id) → {job_id}
generate_lyrics(prompt)	Write song lyrics from a theme (Mureka) — synchronous {title, lyrics}; review/edit before spending song credits
transcribe(audio, language?, diarize?, captions?)	Speech-to-text (ElevenLabs Scribe). audio = local path or a URL (YouTube/TikTok); diarize labels speakers; captions="srt"/"vtt" writes a subtitle file → {text, language_code, words, captions_path?}
forced_alignment(audio, text, captions?)	Align a known script to existing audio → exact per-word timings (+ optional SRT/VTT) — for captioning recordings you already have the transcript for
isolate_audio(audio)	Remove background noise / isolate the voice → {path}
convert_voice(audio, voice, remove_background_noise?, format?, seed?)	Speech-to-speech: re-voice a recording onto another voice, keeping delivery (dubbing/ADR) → {path}
generate_sfx(prompt, duration_seconds?, loop?, prompt_influence?, model?, engine?, format?)	One-shots, ambience, seamless loops → {job_id}
generate_speech(text, voice?, profile?, model?, stability?, style?, speed?, similarity_boost?, use_speaker_boost?, seed?, previous_text?, next_text?, language_code?, with_timestamps?, variants?, engine?, format?)	Dialogue / character VO. Shape delivery with a profile and/or precision knobs; inline v3 tags like [whispers] work; with_timestamps=True emits a per-character alignment sidecar (lip-sync/captions); variants=N fans out N takes to audition → {job_id} (or {job_ids})
generate_dialogue(lines=[{voice, text}], model?, seed?, language_code?, apply_text_normalization?, engine?, format?)	Multi-speaker scene in one call (≤10 voices, ~2000 chars) with natural turn-taking → {job_id}
save_profile(name, voice?, model?, stability?, style?, speed?, …, tag?, seed?, description?)	Save a reusable persona/mood preset (a preset over the speech knobs)
list_profiles()	Built-in delivery presets (neutral, narrator, calm, whisper, sad, angry, excited, shout, steady, dynamic) + your saved ones
save_speaker(name, voice, workspace?, model?, stability?, …, seed?, description?)	Save a speaker (pinned voice + base delivery) under a workspace
speak(speaker, text, mood?, workspace?, …, with_timestamps?, variants?)	Speak as a saved speaker, layering a mood profile → {job_id}
preview_voices(query?, gender?, age?, accent?, use_case?, n?)	Search the library, return candidates with preview_urls — no generation, no slots
add_speaker_from_library(name, public_owner_id, voice_id, workspace?, seed?)	Add a library voice and save it as a speaker in one step
list_speakers(workspace?) / list_workspaces()	Saved speakers (optionally by workspace) / workspace namespaces
search_voice_library(query?, gender?, age?, accent?, use_case?, category?, descriptives?, page_size?)	Search ElevenLabs' shared library of thousands of voices
add_library_voice(public_owner_id, voice_id, name)	Add a library voice to the account and save it under name (uses a voice slot)
design_voice(description, save_as?, text?, model?, guidance_scale?, loudness?, seed?)	Synthesize a custom voice from a text description; returns previews to audition
save_voice(name, generated_voice_id, description?)	Keep a designed preview as a permanent, reusable voice (uses a voice slot)
clone_voice(name, audio_paths, description?, remove_background_noise?)	Instant Voice Cloning from your audio file(s) → saved, reusable voice (uses a slot)
delete_voice(voice, confirm=False)	Delete a custom voice and free its slot (fresh name→id, blocks premade, warns on profile/speaker refs)
account_status()	Both providers, one call — ElevenLabs (tier, char quota, voice slots, cloning, + quality/formats the tier allows) and Mureka (credit balance, concurrency limit). Check before fan-out
list_models()	ElevenLabs models available on the account + capability flags
check_jobs(job_ids)	Batch-poll — returns status + file path per id
list_jobs(status?, limit?)	Recent jobs, newest first
create_pronunciation_dictionary(name, rules, description?)	Lock how words/lore-names are said — rules = {word: say_as} map or EL rule objects. Apply via generate_speech/speak pronunciation= or save_speaker(pronunciation=)
add_pronunciation_rules(dictionary, rules) / list_pronunciation_dictionaries()	Extend / list saved dictionaries
list_voices()	ElevenLabs voices on the account ({account, profiles}) — resolve a voice by name or id
get_voice(voice)	One voice's details (category, labels, description, preview_url)
list_presets()	Everything saved: voices, music identities, profiles, speakers, pronunciation

Each generate_* has a soft-pinned provider (music→Mureka, SFX/speech→ElevenLabs) and an optional engine= override. A result is {job_id, status, path, duration, format, seed, provider} once succeeded.

Voices, speakers & delivery

The voice is the speaker's identity — pick or make one, don't dial it out of parameters. Three ways to get a voice, all reusable by name afterwards:

1. Use one of ElevenLabs' many — search_voice_library(query="warm narrator", age="middle aged") → add_library_voice(public_owner_id, voice_id, "narrator"). Thousands of ready-made voices.
2. Design a custom one — design_voice("warm, measured audiobook narrator, clear articulation", save_as="narrator"). Describe it, audition the previews, keep the best.
3. Reuse what's on the account — list_voices() shows the premade voices already there.

Then just generate_speech("...", voice="narrator") — the voice stays consistent.

Make it a first-class Speaker, grouped by workspace. For a whole cast across several projects, save_speaker("narrator", voice, workspace="projectA", ...) saves the identity (pinned voice + base delivery), and speak("narrator", text, mood="calm", workspace="projectA") speaks it — the mood layers over the speaker (a speaker is who; a profile is what mood). preview_voices(query) samples library candidates by preview (no slots), and add_speaker_from_library(...) adds + saves in one step. variants=N on speak/generate_speech fans out N takes so a human picks the best.

Delivery (mood/tone) is a separate layer on top. Shape it with a profile and/or the precision knobs. Built-in profiles: neutral, narrator, calm, whisper, sad, angry, excited, shout (v3, emotion via audio tags) and steady, dynamic (v2, consistency axis). Save your own persona/mood presets with save_profile.

Two facts worth knowing (both handled for you, but they explain the design):

• Eleven v3 (default for speech) does emotion via inline audio tags ([whispers], [angry], [snorts], …) and a 3-mode stability (creative/natural/robust) — it ignores the numeric style slider. Tags only land on an expressive voice; a flat narration voice mutes them.
• Eleven v2 uses the numeric sliders, but those control consistency (dynamic ↔ steady), not a specific emotion. Use it via the steady/dynamic profiles.

Parallelism

Mureka caps concurrency at 1 request per prepaid account and it doesn't stack, so the way to run music generation in parallel is multiple accounts. This server treats keys as a pool: supply N keys and it runs N jobs in parallel, one per key, automatically routing around a key that hits its rate limit (back-off) or runs out of balance. Supplying one key is just the N=1 case. (ElevenLabs scales concurrency within a single key by tier, so a lane count > 1 per key is the norm there.)

Mount it

Claude Code

claude mcp add ofaudio \
  --env ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=xi_... --env MUREKA_API_KEY=ak_... \
  -- python -m ofaudio_mcp

Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ofaudio": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "ofaudio_mcp"],
      "env": { "ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "xi_...", "MUREKA_API_KEY": "ak_..." }
    }
  }
}

Self-hosted / server — add the server to your MCP client's config and put the keys in a .env next to it (they stay on the box):

ELEVENLABS_API_KEYS=xi_...
MUREKA_API_KEYS=acct-a:ak_...,acct-b:ak_...
OFAUDIO_OUT_DIR=/var/audio/ofaudio-out

The intended usage pattern is fan-out: fire many generate_* calls, then check_jobs.

Status

Both providers work end-to-end. ElevenLabs: speech (+ timestamps, mood profiles, variants), multi-speaker dialogue, SFX, Eleven Music, voice library / design / instant cloning, voice lifecycle, account introspection, the speaker/workspace layer, and the transform tools (transcribe, forced alignment, isolate, voice-convert). Mureka: instrumental + song, prompt→song (easy-generate), user-supplied lyrics, standalone generate_lyrics, reference-track vibe-match, and lossless flac-default output.
