Deepgram MCP

What it does

Deepgram's official MCP server gives agents access to its speech platform — fast, accurate transcription with speaker diarization plus audio-intelligence features. Its tool list is fetched from Deepgram's API at runtime rather than hardcoded, so new capabilities appear without a package upgrade. For film work it handles dailies, interview transcription, and dialogue logging at production scale.

Connect

claude mcp add deepgram -e DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY -- deepgram-mcp

Local install: deepgram-mcp (after `pip install deepgram-mcp`; also bundled with the Deepgram CLI, where `dg mcp` wraps it)

Field notes

Official but thin on the ground, and re-checked unchanged on 20 Aug 2026: PyPI deepgram-mcp still 0.1.1 (4 Apr 2026), repo still last pushed 6 May 2026, MIT, one star, seven open issues. Deepgram's own summary calls it a 'standalone MCP proxy… remote-proxy architecture with zero client upgrades', which is the honest framing — the package is a thin shim and the capability lives upstream. The runtime tool fetch is genuinely useful but means you cannot see the tool surface before connecting, and it depends on Deepgram's developer API at https://api.dx.deepgram.com staying up. An SSE HTTP mode exists: `deepgram-mcp --transport sse --port 8000`. AssemblyAI's only official MCP is a documentation server, not transcription, so Deepgram remains the strongest official cloud-STT MCP.
