How to Use the Datadog Cloud SIEM MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: If we find a false positive in Datadog Cloud SIEM, can we triage it with VS Code Copilot?

Yes. Tell Copilot, "Triage signal ID as a false positive." It will execute the triagesignal tool to update the alert's status directly in Datadog, keeping your alert dashboard clean.

Equip your whole team with Datadog SIEM access in VS Code. Let Copilot manage rules and triage signals with a shared MCP config.

Perplexity

Standardize security ops across your team

Commit the `.vscode/mcp.json` file with this MCP server's config to your repo. Now, every developer on your team has the same tools. Anyone can ask Copilot to `list_detection_rules` or `search_signals` using the team's shared access. This removes guesswork and inconsistency. New team members are productive on day one. Your senior engineers can trust that everyone is using the same playbook for security tasks directly within VS Code.

Manage detection rules as code

Treat your security rules like any other code artifact. Have Copilot fetch a rule's definition with `get_detection_rule`, then refactor the Lucene query right in the editor. When you're ready, tell Copilot to deploy the update using `create_detection_rule`. By managing rules from VS Code, you can track changes in Git, perform code reviews on rule logic, and maintain a complete audit trail. It brings your security operations into your existing development lifecycle.

Run incident response from your editor

Don't switch screens when an alert fires. Stay in VS Code and use Copilot as your first responder. Start by asking it to `search_signals` to get the alert details. From there, pivot to `search_raw_logs` to hunt for the attacker's activity. Once you've mitigated the threat, close the loop. Tell Copilot to `triage_signal` and archive the alert with a reason. The entire incident response, from detection to resolution, happens in the same place you write code.

Setup guide

Set up Datadog Cloud SIEM MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
