How to Use

1. Start the AudioMind server (once per session)

bash {baseDir}/tools/start_server.sh

This starts the ElevenLabs MCP server on port 8124. The skill uses it for all audio generation.

2. Route the request

Analyze the user's request and call the appropriate tool via the MCP server:

Text-to-Speech (TTS)

When user asks to "narrate", "read aloud", "say", or "create a voice-over":

Use MCP tool: text_to_speech

  text: "<the text to narrate>"

  voice_id: "JBFqnCBsd6RMkjVDRZzb"   # Default: "George" (professional, neutral)

  model_id: "eleven_multilingual_v2"   # Use "eleven_turbo_v2_5" for low latency

Music Generation

When user asks to "compose", "create background music", or "make a soundtrack":

Use MCP tool: text_to_sound_effects  (via cassetteai-music on fal.ai)

  prompt: "<music description, e.g. 'upbeat lo-fi hip hop, 90 seconds'>"

  duration_seconds: <duration>

Sound Effect (SFX)

When user asks for a specific sound (e.g., "a door creaking", "rain on a window"):

Use MCP tool: text_to_sound_effects

  text: "<sound description>"

  duration_seconds: <1-22>

Voice Cloning

When user provides an audio sample and wants to clone the voice:

Use MCP tool: voice_add

  name: "<voice name>"

  files: ["<audio_file_url>"]

Example Conversations

User: "Voice this text for me: Welcome to our product launch"

→ Route to: text_to_speech

  text: "Welcome to our product launch"

  voice_id: "JBFqnCBsd6RMkjVDRZzb"

  model_id: "eleven_multilingual_v2"

🎙️ Voiceover done! Listen here

User: "Generate 60 seconds of relaxing background music for a podcast"

→ Route to: cassetteai-music (fal.ai)

  prompt: "relaxing lo-fi background music for a podcast, gentle piano and soft beats, 60 seconds"

  duration_seconds: 60

🎵 Background music ready! Listen here

User: "Generate a sci-fi style door opening sound effect"

→ Route to: text_to_sound_effects

  text: "a futuristic sci-fi door sliding open with a hydraulic hiss"

  duration_seconds: 3

Setup

Required

Set ELEVENLABS_API_KEY in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{

  "skills": {

    "entries": {

      "videoagent-audio-studio": {

        "enabled": true,

        "env": {

          "ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "your_elevenlabs_key_here"

        }

      }

    }

  }

}

Get your key at elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys.

Optional (for fal.ai music & SFX models)

"FAL_KEY": "your_fal_key_here"

Get your key at fal.ai/dashboard/keys.

Self-Hosting the Proxy

The cli.js connects to a hosted proxy by default. If you want full control — or need to serve users in regions where vercel.app is blocked — you can deploy your own instance from the proxy/ directory.

Quick Deploy (Vercel)

cd proxy

npm install

vercel --prod

Environment Variables

Set these in your Vercel project (Dashboard → Settings → Environment Variables):

Point cli.js to Your Proxy

export AUDIOMIND_PROXY_URL="https://your-domain.com/api/audio"

Or set it in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{

  "skills": {

    "entries": {

      "videoagent-audio-studio": {

        "env": {

          "AUDIOMIND_PROXY_URL": "https://your-domain.com/api/audio"

        }

      }

    }

  }

}
