About Datadog MCP Server
Connect your Datadog account to any AI agent and take full control of your observability stack through natural conversation.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 16 tools from Datadog through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Datadog, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.
What you can do
- Monitor Management — List, search, inspect, and mute monitors to control alert noise during maintenance windows
- Dashboard Inspection — Browse dashboards and retrieve full layouts, widgets, and template variables
- Metric Queries — Run time-series queries using Datadog syntax (e.g.,
avg:system.cpu.user{*}) with custom time ranges - Log Search — Search log events using Datadog query syntax across all indexed log sources
- Event Tracking — Browse platform events and create custom events with tags and priority levels
- Incident Management — List active incidents with severity, status, responders, and timeline details
- SLO Monitoring — Review Service Level Objectives with targets, error budgets, and compliance status
- Host Inventory — Access all reporting hosts with metadata, tags, and agent versions
