Agentic developer tools

Deepgram provides multiple ways to embed Deepgram knowledge directly into AI-powered developer tools: a CLI with a built-in MCP server, a docs MCP server for querying documentation, and a skills marketplace with structured reference material your tools can load on demand.

The dg CLI gives you full access to Deepgram APIs from your terminal — speech-to-text, text-to-speech, voice agents, and more — with 28 commands and a built-in MCP server.

macOS / Linux:

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr https://deepgram.com/install.ps1 -useb | iex

Package managers:

The CLI includes a built-in MCP server that gives your AI coding tools direct access to Deepgram APIs:

Add to your editor’s MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepgram": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "dg",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

For full CLI documentation, visit the CLI documentation on developers.deepgram.com, or explore cli.deepgram.com for the quick reference.

The Deepgram docs MCP server lets AI coding tools query the full Deepgram documentation. It is available over HTTP at two endpoints:

Add the server with a single command:

Add the following to your MCP configuration file (for example, .cursor/mcp.json or .windsurf/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepgram-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.dx.deepgram.com/kapa/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Once connected, your AI tool can answer questions about any Deepgram API, SDK, or feature using the official documentation as its source.

The Deepgram skills repository contains agent-agnostic skill files that AI coding tools load to understand specific parts of the Deepgram platform. Each skill is a folder of plain Markdown that any tool can consume.

Register the repository as a plugin marketplace:

Install the Deepgram plugin:

This gives you the following slash commands: /deepgram:api, /deepgram:docs, /deepgram:starters, and /deepgram:setup-mcp.

Deepgram provides official SDKs so you can integrate speech-to-text, text-to-speech, voice agents, and audio intelligence into your application in the language of your choice.
