Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Deepgram account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to transcribe meeting audio from this URL, summarize podcast episode for quick review, convert blog post text to speech audio, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

Connecting Deepgram to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

2. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

3. Connect your Deepgram account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Deepgram or give it any Deepgram-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Transcribe meeting audio from this URL"
  • "Summarize podcast episode for quick review"
  • "Convert blog post text to speech audio"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Deepgram account is ready to use.

What is the Deepgram Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Deepgram MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Deepgram account. It provides structured and secure access to Deepgram's speech AI services, so your agent can transcribe audio, generate summaries, convert text to speech, detect topics, and analyze project usage on your behalf.

  • Automated audio transcription: Your agent can transcribe pre-recorded audio files into accurate, readable text for effortless documentation and analysis.
  • Audio summarization: Have your agent generate quick, concise summaries of audio content, making it easy to review lengthy recordings in seconds.
  • Natural-sounding text-to-speech: Let your agent convert written text into lifelike speech audio using Deepgram's public TTS models for accessibility or creative applications.
  • Topic detection from audio: Enable your agent to identify and report on the main topics discussed within audio files, streamlining content review and categorization.
  • Usage analytics and project insights: Retrieve and analyze project usage metrics, scope permissions, and available models to optimize your Deepgram integration and monitor account health.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Deepgram?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Deepgram conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Deepgram again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Deepgram connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Deepgram.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Deepgram.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Deepgram authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Deepgram account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Deepgram connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Deepgram authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Deepgram sign-in.

4. Why do Deepgram actions fail after they worked before?

The Deepgram connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Deepgram connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Deepgram account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Deepgram.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Deepgram itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Deepgram account?

Claude can manage the Deepgram connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Deepgram account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Deepgram again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Deepgram.
  • Sign in with the other Deepgram account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Deepgram task.

6. Why is my Deepgram connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Deepgram connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Deepgram tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Deepgram.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Deepgram MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Deepgram tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Deepgram and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Deepgram tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Deepgram scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Deepgram data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
