Bring Speech To Text
to Cline
Learn how to connect Deepgram to Cline and start using 6 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Deepgram MCP Server?
Connect your Deepgram account to any AI agent and take full control of your speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Transcription Orchestration — Convert speech from public audio or video URLs into high-fidelity text programmatically using the latest Nova-3 models with smart formatting and diarization
- Neural Speech Synthesis — Programmatically generate natural-sounding audio from text input using the high-speed Aura engine to coordinate voice-enabled interfaces
- Model Discovery — Access complete directories of high-performance STT and TTS models supported by Deepgram to ensure the perfect accuracy and latency for your content
- Project & Usage Monitoring — Programmatically track your API utilization, minute consumption, and request counts across multiple projects for instant operational reporting
- Credential Lifecycle — Retrieve identifiers for active API keys associated with your projects directly through your agent to maintain high-fidelity security oversight
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key from the Deepgram Console
3. Start transcribing and synthesizing audio from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual file uploading or complex latency tuning in the portal. Your AI acts as your dedicated audio engineer and media production coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Developers & Engineers — instantly transcribe recorded meetings and integrate high-speed TTS into applications using natural language commands
- Content Creators — automate the generation of voiceovers and subtitles for global video assets without leaving your workspace
- Research Teams — scale the processing of interview recordings and monitor usage limits through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Deepgram API Key?
Log in to the Deepgram Console, navigate to the API Keys section, and create a new key with the necessary permissions.
What is the Nova-3 model?
Nova-3 is Deepgram's latest state-of-the-art transcription model, offering unmatched speed and accuracy for real-world audio.
Can I synthesize speech in different voices?
Yes! The convert_text_to_speech tool allows you to specify models like aura-asteria-en or aura-orion-en for different vocal profiles.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
