Add ability to create and edit conversational AI server tools through MCP

[AristideVB]

Description

Currently, ElevenLabs' MCP server provides excellent integration with various ElevenLabs audio features, but lacks the ability to create and modify Conversational AI server tools as defined in the documentation (https://elevenlabs.io/docs/conversational-ai/customization/tools/server-tools).

Proposed Solution

Add functionality to the MCP server that allows:

1. Creating new server tools (webhook integrations) programmatically
2. Editing existing server tools' configurations
3. Managing tool parameters (headers, secrets, path/query/body parameters)
4. Testing tools through the MCP interface

Use Cases

• AI assistants could dynamically create or modify tools based on conversation needs
• Developers could programmatically set up and manage entire suites of tools
• Users could request an AI to set up specific integrations without requiring manual configuration

Technical Considerations

• Security measures for API key/secret management
• Permission systems to control which tools can be created/modified
• Proper validation of tool configurations

Benefits

This enhancement would allow for more dynamic and powerful AI agent workflows, where conversational AI tools could be created, modified, or extended on-the-fly based on specific use cases, rather than requiring manual configuration through the web interface.

Additional Context

The current documentation for server tools shows a robust system for configuring these through the web UI, but incorporating this functionality into the MCP server would greatly enhance the programmatic capabilities of the system.

GOod ideas, I was playing around with this today, and I think this is going to be really powerful.
I have Claude code make an agent, select what knowledge to add to the agent, and then also having the ability to select a set of mcp tools, web hooks ect, for the agent to use I think would be quite powerful and versatile.

Yep if there was full coverage of the api it would help a lot, tools etc

Is this being worked on?

I'm trying to create agents through claude using elevenlabs mcp. But needing to manually toggle some of the system tools makes automation a bit hard. It would be great to at least have ways to set up tools when calling create_agent.

I'm seeing there's the "end_call" tool being used in create_conversation_config, but it's not having the same capability as the API endpoint.

Yes, working on adding mcp support for convai/tools APIs : https://elevenlabs.io/docs/api-reference/tools

I ended up building my own mcp servers for this on fastmcp https://github.com/jezweb/elevenlabs-mcp-server
