SETUP GUIDE

Connect Deepgram MCP Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/mcp @ai-sdk/openai
Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
2

Create a session with MCP enabled

typescript
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["deepgram"],
  mcp: true,
});
Create a session scoped to Deepgram and read its MCP URL and headers
3

Connect your agent to the MCP server

typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "Transcribe this podcast episode from its audio URL",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a Deepgram request
SETUP GUIDE

Connect Deepgram API Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core @composio/openai openai
Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
2

Create a Composio session

typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from "@composio/openai";

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["deepgram"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to Deepgram
3

Run Deepgram tools with your agent

typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "Transcribe this podcast episode from its audio URL" }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
Send a request, execute the Deepgram tool calls through the session, and print the final answer
