# Deepgram MCP

> Official Deepgram server: Nova transcription, diarization, and audio intelligence.

- **Category:** Transcription & Captions
- **Vendor:** Deepgram (official)
- **Pricing:** freemium
- **Verified:** 2026-06-11

## 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, with tools fetched dynamically from the API at runtime so new capabilities appear without upgrades. For film work it handles dailies and interview transcription and dialogue logging at production scale.

## Connect

- Claude Code: `claude mcp add deepgram -e DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY -- deepgram-mcp`
- Local: `deepgram-mcp (after `pip install deepgram-mcp`; also bundled with the Deepgram CLI as `dg mcp`)`

**Auth:** api_key (env `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY`) — https://console.deepgram.com (free signup credit)

## Capabilities

`transcription` · `diarization` · `audio-intelligence` · `tts`

## Field notes

Official but young (v0.1.1, Apr 2026). Tool list is fetched from Deepgram's API at runtime; an SSE HTTP mode exists (`deepgram-mcp --transport sse`). Note: AssemblyAI's only official MCP is a docs server, not transcription — Deepgram is the strongest official cloud-STT MCP.
