deepgram-mcp

Deepgram's Model Context Protocol server — gives AI editors (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and others) direct access to Deepgram's speech, transcription, and audio intelligence tools.

Standalone package. Install deepgram-mcp directly if you want just the MCP server without the full CLI suite. If you already use the Deepgram CLI (pip install deepctl), deepgram-mcp is included as a dependency and the dg mcp command wraps it — no separate install needed.

Why deepgram-mcp is different

Most MCP servers ship tools as hardcoded Python. When the provider adds a new tool, you must upgrade the package to get it.

deepgram-mcp fetches its tool list from Deepgram's API at runtime. New tools appear in your editor the next time you connect — no package upgrade required.

Requirements

A Deepgram API key. Get one free at console.deepgram.com.

Set it as an environment variable:

export DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Installation

pip install deepgram-mcp

Editor setup

Claude Code

Add to .mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.claude/mcp.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepgram": {
      "command": "deepgram-mcp",
      "env": {
        "DEEPGRAM_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via CLI:

claude mcp add deepgram -- deepgram-mcp

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepgram": {
      "command": "deepgram-mcp",
      "env": {
        "DEEPGRAM_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to your Windsurf MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepgram": {
      "command": "deepgram-mcp",
      "env": {
        "DEEPGRAM_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage

stdio (default — for editor integration)

deepgram-mcp --api-key your_api_key_here

SSE (HTTP server)

deepgram-mcp --transport sse --port 8000

Options

Flag Default Description
--transport stdio Transport mode: stdio or sse
--port 8000 Port for SSE server
--host 127.0.0.1 Host for SSE server
--api-key $DEEPGRAM_API_KEY Deepgram API key
--base-url https://api.dx.deepgram.com Deepgram developer API base URL
--debug false Print debug info to stderr

Use as a library

import asyncio
from deepgram_mcp import run_proxy

asyncio.run(run_proxy(
    transport="stdio",
    host="127.0.0.1",
    port=8000,
    api_key="your_api_key_here",
    base_url="https://api.dx.deepgram.com",
    debug=False,
))

Deepgram CLI

If you use the Deepgram CLI, dg mcp wraps this package and handles authentication automatically:

dg mcp
dg mcp --transport sse --port 8000
