About Datadog Cloud SIEM MCP Server
Connect your Datadog security module to any AI agent and take full control of your Cloud SIEM and threat hunting workflows through natural conversation.
Claude Code registers Datadog Cloud SIEM as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Datadog Cloud SIEM data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Security Signal Search — Execute ingestion searches returning critical threats detected by Datadog SIEM, CSPM, and CWS matching MITRE ATT&CK vectors
- Signal Triaging — Update the state of active threat alerts, transitioning signals from open to archived with audited false-positive justifications
- Detection Rule Management — List and retrieve exact logic for security rules identifying AWS CloudTrail deviations or Kubernetes root escalations
- Rule Orchestration — Construct new Cloud SIEM Log Detection rules by pushing raw name/message fields and specific Lucene query bindings
- Threat Hunting — Directly query raw Datadog logs with a 10s lookbehind to capture highly localized context matching malicious source IPs
- Security Filter Auditing — Retrieve global exclusion policies mapping to SIEM log pipelines to verify which low-value vectors are blocked
The Datadog Cloud SIEM MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Claude Code with the Datadog Cloud SIEM MCP Server
Claude Code provides unique advantages when paired with Datadog Cloud SIEM through the Model Context Protocol.
Single-command setup: `claude mcp add` registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Datadog Cloud SIEM tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
Datadog Cloud SIEM + Claude Code Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Claude Code combined with the Datadog Cloud SIEM MCP Server delivers measurable value.
CI/CD integration: embed Datadog Cloud SIEM tool calls in your deployment pipeline to validate configurations or fetch secrets before shipping
Headless batch processing: schedule Claude Code to query Datadog Cloud SIEM nightly and generate reports without human intervention
Shell scripting: pipe Datadog Cloud SIEM outputs into other CLI tools for data transformation, filtering, and aggregation
Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Datadog Cloud SIEM status endpoints and alert on anomalies
Datadog Cloud SIEM MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Datadog Cloud SIEM to Claude Code via MCP:
create_detection_rule
Accepts raw name/message fields, specific Lucene query bindings filtering for malicious activity, and severity levels (info, low, medium, high, critical). Auto-activates upon creation. Construct a new Cloud SIEM Log Detection Rule
delete_detection_rule
Irreversible action. Pre-packaged rules provided by Datadog typically cannot be outright deleted (only disabled), making this primarily for user-created custom JSON rules. Permanently delete a Datadog Security Detection Rule
get_detection_rule
g. > 5 occurrences in 5 mins), severity bindings, tagging matrices, and Notification routing hooks tying into PagerDuty or Slack. Retrieve the exact logic/queries for a specific Detection Rule
get_raw_log_context
Use this immediately after verifying an attacker footprint. Additional threat hunt tool extracting exact log bounds (100 msgs)
list_detection_rules
Verifies the existence of proactive detections identifying AWS CloudTrail deviations, GCP anomalous IAM usage, and Kubernetes root escalations. List configured Datadog Security Detection Rules
list_security_filters
These filters inherently block high-volume, low-value logging vectors from ever reaching the SIEM evaluation engine in order to preserve compute budgets. List Security Filter configurations
search_raw_logs
Essential for rapid Threat Hunting before detection rules alert. Useful for extracting contextual VPC Flow Logs or application stack traces related to an active breach. Directly query raw Datadog Logs over the past 15/m for Threat Hunting
search_signals
Use lucene-based queries like "status:critical OR @usr.id:admin" to filter high severity indicators mapping to MITRE ATT&CK vectors. Search Cloud SIEM Security Signals (Alerts) over the last 24h
security_system_ping
Test API authentication validity against the Security Module
triage_signal
Transition signals directly from "open" to "archived", or from "archived" back to "open". If archiving, an official reason (e.g. "false_positive" or "testing_or_maintenance") must be assigned. Modify the state of a Datadog SIEM Security Signal
Example Prompts for Datadog Cloud SIEM in Claude Code
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Claude Code agent to start working with Datadog Cloud SIEM immediately.
"List all critical security signals from the last 24h"
"Search logs for IP '1.2.3.4' to hunt for threats"
"Archive security signal 'sig_123' as a false positive"
