About Datadog AI (LLM Observability) MCP Server
Connect your Datadog account to any AI agent and take full control of your LLM observability and AI performance monitoring through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Datadog AI (LLM Observability) tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- LLM Metrics Auditing — Query high-precision numeric telemetry targeting LLM Observability timeseries like token counts and latency
- Prompt & Span Search — Retrieve explicit APM payload contents capturing literal prompt logic and response traces limitlessly
- AI Monitor Management — List and create monitors to track when AI responses drop below SLI thresholds or plateau on requests
- Dashboard Insights — Enumerate widgets graphing global AI expenses across providers like OpenAI or Anthropic
- Incident Tracking — Monitor active outages and service disruptions blocking multi-agent orchestration dynamically
- Timeline Events — Pull pure textual deployment marks identifying exactly when dynamic LLM models were switched
The Datadog AI (LLM Observability) MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
