How to Set Up and Use Delive Audio & ASR
DeLive is a local-first desktop application (built with Electron and React) that captures system audio and transcribes it using your choice of 12 different ASR backends spanning cloud streaming providers like Deepgram, AssemblyAI, and Groq, as well as local options including whisper.cpp. It exposes a local MCP server that AI agents such as Claude can connect to for real-time transcription data, AI-generated summaries, and live captions across 60+ languages. Developers and power users who need accurate meeting transcription with offline privacy controls will find it especially useful.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later and npm installed
- Git for cloning the repository
- An account and API key for at least one supported ASR provider (Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Groq, Gladia, etc.) or a local whisper.cpp setup
- A desktop OS: macOS, Windows, or Linux
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop to connect to the exposed MCP server
Clone the DeLive repository
DeLive is installed from source. Clone the monorepo and move into the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/XimilalaXiang/DeLive.git
cd DeLiveInstall all dependencies
The project uses a workspace structure. Install all packages across the monorepo with a single command.
npm run install:allLaunch DeLive in development mode
Start the Electron desktop application. On first run, open the Settings panel to add your ASR provider API keys. Credentials are stored encrypted via Electron safeStorage.
npm run devEnable the MCP server in DeLive settings
In the DeLive UI, navigate to Settings and enable the MCP / Open API option. All API endpoints are disabled by default. Once enabled, the server listens on localhost with an optional Bearer token for authentication.
Connect Claude Desktop to the DeLive MCP server
Add the DeLive MCP endpoint to your Claude Desktop configuration. The server communicates via a local REST API and WebSocket, so you connect using the SSE or streamable HTTP URL exposed by DeLive.
Select an ASR backend and start capturing
Choose your preferred ASR provider in DeLive (e.g. Groq for fast transcription, whisper.cpp for offline), then start audio capture. Transcription results stream in real time and are accessible via the MCP server.

Client configuration
Connect Claude Desktop to a locally running DeLive MCP server using the SSE transport. Adjust the port if DeLive is configured differently.

npm run install:all fails with peer dependency errors
Run 'npm install --legacy-peer-deps' inside the project root, or ensure you are using Node.js 18+. The project targets Electron 40 which requires a modern Node version.
Audio capture does not start on macOS
Grant DeLive microphone and screen recording permissions in System Settings > Privacy & Security. System audio capture on macOS requires the screen recording permission in addition to microphone access.
Claude cannot reach the DeLive MCP server
Make sure the MCP server is enabled inside DeLive's settings (it is off by default). If you set a Bearer token, include it in your client configuration. Check that no firewall is blocking the localhost port DeLive is listening on.
