Email verification
Fastest path to a key
- Sign up at elevenlabs.io/app/sign-up (email+password or Google/Apple OAuth)
- Email verificationVerify email (email signups only)
- Free plan active immediately (10k credits/month, no card)
- Settings > API keys > Create (optional endpoint scope, credit quota, IP allowlist, expiry)
- OR skip the key: connect https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/mcp with OAuth, or run `elevenlabs auth login`
- Working API key
Biggest gap
OAuth relies on CIMD only (no DCR), so clients without CIMD support need a key. Email verification is still a human step for email signups.
Worth copying
The hosted MCP uses OAuth and scoped consent, so 'no API keys are copied into the client'. They also retired the local key-based server in its favor.
