ElevenLabs MCP can now generate voice, music, images & video

ElevenLabs has updated its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to incorporate ElevenCreative, extending its capabilities well beyond the text-to-speech and voice cloning features the platform is best known for. The updated MCP now covers voice, music, image, and video generation, pulling together more than 50 models into a unified interface that AI coding and chat tools can call on directly.

The practical effect is that users working inside Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor can now trigger a wide range of media generation tasks without leaving their existing workflow. MCP, a standard introduced to allow AI assistants to interact with external tools and services, makes this kind of integration relatively straightforward - developers connect the ElevenLabs MCP server once and gain access to the full catalogue of supported models from within whatever AI environment they prefer.

ElevenLabs built its reputation on high-quality voice synthesis and has steadily added capabilities over the past couple of years, including sound effects and music generation. Bundling these alongside image and video generation under the ElevenCreative banner suggests the company is working toward a position as a multi-modal creative API, competing in a space that includes providers like Stability AI, Runway, and Google. Offering all of these through a single MCP server lowers the integration overhead for developers who want to mix media types in an AI-driven pipeline.

The move also reflects a broader trend of AI tool providers building MCP compatibility to stay relevant as orchestration layers become more common in developer workflows. For end users, the immediate benefit is convenience - generating a voiceover, a background music track, a reference image, or a short video clip can now all happen within the same session and toolset, without switching between separate services or APIs.

What Is MAX Sneaks? Your First Look at Tools That Don’t Exist Yet

Adobe MAX Sneaks is an annual event where Adobe researchers demo experimental technology that has not yet made it into any product. Some of these demos eventually become familiar tools in Premiere, After Effects, or Photoshop - others never ship at all. This year's Sneaks airs Wednesday, November 11, and is free to watch online.

Adobe’s AI experiments let you walk around in photos and interview your characters

Adobe's annual Max conference has brought a fresh batch of experimental features, including tools that convert flat photos into navigable 3D scenes, let creators shape AI characters through conversation, and simplify photo editing to a copy-and-paste workflow. These "Sneaks" projects offer a glimpse into where Adobe's generative AI research is heading. None are shipping products yet, but they reflect the direction of the company's broader creative toolset.

Tom Hanks Played Five Characters in This 2004 Christmas Movie

The Polar Express, Robert Zemeckis's 2004 performance-capture film, is back in seasonal rotation - and it remains one of the more technically unusual productions of its era. Tom Hanks played five distinct characters across 38 days of work, a casting choice that was rooted in story logic as much as technical curiosity. Here is a closer look at how that decision came together and what it meant for the actors involved.
