Install the Deepgram MCP Server

You are setting up Deepgram MCP integration for the user. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Check for the Deepgram CLI

Run dg --version (or deepctl --version, or where dg on Windows) to check if the Deepgram CLI is installed.

• If found: use the local CLI MCP (dg mcp) — this gives full access to Deepgram tools including transcription, text-to-speech, project management, and more.
• If not found: use the hosted documentation MCP and offer to install the CLI.

Step 2: Detect the environment

Determine which AI coding tool the user is running. Check for:

• Claude Code — look for a .claude/ directory in the project or user home
• Cursor — look for a .cursor/ directory in the project root
