ElevenLabs AI Updates: April 2, 2026

1. ElevenLabs Ships Major Platform Update: MCP Tool Scoping, Video-to-Music, and SDK 1.0

ElevenLabs. ElevenLabs released a comprehensive platform update on April 1, 2026, adding MCP tool scoping to ElevenAgents so developers can restrict which tools sub-agents can access, along with conversation file uploads that let users attach images and PDFs during voice interactions. The release also introduces a new POST /v1/music/video-to-music endpoint that generates background music from video files with optional style descriptions, and expands speech-to-text transcription to accept source URLs from YouTube, TikTok, and similar platforms without requiring file uploads. Breaking changes include the Client SDK v1.0.0, which restructures conversation handling, and the React SDK v1.0.0, which requires a ConversationProvider wrapper and introduces granular hooks for performance optimization.
