Deepgram MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Deepgram and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 50 Deepgram actions (28 reads, 14 writes and 8 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Deepgram credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Deepgram's limits and records every call.
100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up
Connect Deepgram in three steps.
- 01
Add actionlake to Claude.
Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

Top actions
The Deepgram API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 7 of Deepgram's 7 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Deepgram
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
8 Deepgram actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a Project Key
deepgram.keys.delete - Delete a Project Invite
deepgram.invites.delete - Delete a Project Member
deepgram.members.delete - Delete a Project
deepgram.projects.delete - Delete an Agent Variable
deepgram.agent_variables.delete - Delete an Agent Configuration
deepgram.agent_configurations.delete - Delete a Project Self-Hosted Distribution Credential
deepgram.distribution_credentials.delete - Leave a Project
deepgram.projects.leave
A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.
Delete a Project Key?

What Deepgram costs on actionlake.
Every Deepgram action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Deepgram refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Questions
The Deepgram MCP server, answered.
Is there a Deepgram MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 50 Deepgram actions across agent configurations, agent variables, projects and distribution credentials, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Deepgram.
What do I need to connect Deepgram?
Deepgram API key (Console > Settings > API Keys). Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "deepgram" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Deepgram?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 8 Deepgram actions are destructive, including delete a Project Key, delete a Project Invite and delete a Project Member. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.
Will an AI agent use up my Deepgram API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Deepgram service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (20 Deepgram actions can be), which never reaches Deepgram.
What does a Deepgram action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (14 Deepgram actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Deepgram refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.
Which Deepgram API does it cover?
The Deepgram REST API 1.0.0 at api.deepgram.com by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Deepgram's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 50 actions in 21 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Deepgram data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Deepgram credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.
Which AI clients can use it?
Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
