# 🎯 Claude Desktop Integration - Final Status
## ✅ Status: READY FOR TESTING
The ElevenLabs MCP server is now properly configured for Claude Desktop integration. The server "exiting with code 0" is **normal behavior** for MCP servers when no input is provided - they wait for STDIO communication from Claude Desktop.
## 🔧 Current Configuration
**Claude Desktop Config Location:**
```
/Users/alex/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
```
**Current Configuration:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/alex/Documents"]
},
"elevenlabs": {
"command": "/Users/alex/claude/11-mcp/run_elevenlabs_mcp.sh",
"args": []
}
}
}
```
**Wrapper Script:** `/Users/alex/claude/11-mcp/run_elevenlabs_mcp.sh`
```bash
#!/bin/bash
cd "/Users/alex/claude/11-mcp"
export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY="sk_ed46dad18de349f00aa80a7d4605e66a7556818f724da8c2"
export PYTHONPATH="/Users/alex/claude/11-mcp/src"
export LOG_LEVEL="INFO"
source venv/bin/activate
exec python -m elevenlabs_mcp.server
```
## ✅ Verification Results
### Configuration Checks
- ✅ **Claude Desktop config exists**: `/Users/alex/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- ✅ **Wrapper script exists**: `/Users/alex/claude/11-mcp/run_elevenlabs_mcp.sh`
- ✅ **Script is executable**: Proper permissions set
- ✅ **API key configured**: Real ElevenLabs API key set
- ✅ **Python path set**: Virtual environment activated
- ✅ **Working directory**: Correct project path
### Server Functionality
- ✅ **Server starts**: Logs show "Starting elevenlabs-mcp-server v1.0.0"
- ✅ **Tools registered**: 18 ElevenLabs tools available
- ✅ **Resources registered**: 3 ElevenLabs resources available
- ✅ **Clean shutdown**: Server exits gracefully when no input provided
- ✅ **Environment setup**: All environment variables properly set
### Previous Issues Fixed
- ❌ **"spawn python ENOENT"**: Fixed by using absolute path to Python executable
- ❌ **Import errors**: Fixed by proper PYTHONPATH configuration
- ❌ **Virtual environment**: Fixed by wrapper script that activates venv
## 🧪 Testing Instructions
### Step 1: Restart Claude Desktop
1. **Completely quit** Claude Desktop (⌘+Q on macOS)
2. **Wait 5 seconds** for complete shutdown
3. **Restart** Claude Desktop
4. **Wait 30 seconds** for MCP server initialization
### Step 2: Look for Connection Indicator
- Check for **MCP icon** in Claude Desktop interface
- Look for **server connection status** showing "elevenlabs" as connected
- Verify **tools available** indicator appears
### Step 3: Test Commands
Try these commands in Claude Desktop:
1. **"What MCP tools are available?"**
- Should show all 18 ElevenLabs tools
- Should list agent, tool, and knowledge base management functions
2. **"List my ElevenLabs agents"**
- Should call the `list_agents` tool
- Should return JSON response with your agents or empty list
3. **"Show my ElevenLabs knowledge base documents"**
- Should call the `list_knowledge_base_documents` tool
- Should return your knowledge base or empty list
4. **"Create a simple customer service agent"**
- Should call the `create_agent` tool
- Should create an agent with appropriate configuration
## 🔍 Expected Behavior
### Success Indicators
- ✅ **MCP server connection**: Claude Desktop shows "elevenlabs" as connected
- ✅ **Tools available**: All 18 tools listed and accessible
- ✅ **API responses**: Tools return proper JSON responses from ElevenLabs
- ✅ **Error handling**: Graceful error messages for invalid operations
### Normal Server Behavior
- 🔄 **Server starts**: Logs show initialization messages
- 🔄 **Server waits**: Waits for STDIO input from Claude Desktop
- 🔄 **Server responds**: Processes MCP protocol messages
- 🔄 **Server logs**: INFO level logging for operations
## 🆘 Troubleshooting
### If MCP Server Doesn't Connect
1. **Check Claude Desktop logs**: Look for connection errors
2. **Verify script permissions**: Ensure wrapper script is executable
3. **Test wrapper script**: Run `./run_elevenlabs_mcp.sh` manually
4. **Check API key**: Ensure ElevenLabs API key is valid
### If Tools Don't Work
1. **Check API connectivity**: Verify internet connection to ElevenLabs
2. **Verify API key**: Test API key with direct ElevenLabs API calls
3. **Check logs**: Look for authentication or network errors
### Debug Commands
```bash
# Test wrapper script manually
./run_elevenlabs_mcp.sh
# Check configuration
cat "~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json"
# Test API key
curl -H "xi-api-key: sk_ed46dad18de349f00aa80a7d4605e66a7556818f724da8c2" \
