Fastest path to a key
- Sign up at console.deepgram.com/signup (email or Google/GitHub)
- Email verificationVerify email (email signups)
- $200 free credit, no card
- Console > Project > API Keys > Create (role, expiration, tags)
- OR install the CLI (curl https://deepgram.com/install.sh | sh) and run `dg login`, which authorizes in the browser and stores a key in the keyring
- Working API key
Biggest gap
The advertised docs MCP endpoints return 401, and the product MCP is local-only (stdio/SSE) with no hosted OAuth server.
Worth copying
One CLI handles login, every API call and the MCP server (`dg mcp`), so an agent installs one binary and inherits its auth.
