Deepgram for AI agents

Deepgram provides AI speech recognition and text-to-speech, letting a product transcribe recorded audio or generate spoken responses through one API. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Deepgram in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect DeepgramThey add their Deepgram api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “text-to-Speech (REST)” can wait for the user to approve.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Deepgram through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('deepgram', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // text_to_speech_rest
  destructive: 'deny',  
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Deepgram connects.

Users add their Deepgram api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Deepgram connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Deepgram and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Deepgram with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Deepgram to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Deepgram actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Deepgram?

Users add their Deepgram api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Deepgram actions can my agent take?

17 in total: 15 read, 2 write and 0 destructive, such as “text-to-Speech (REST)”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Deepgram?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Deepgram policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Deepgram too?

Yes. The same Deepgram connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
