About Datadog MCP Server

Connect your Datadog account to any AI agent and take full control of your observability stack through natural conversation.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Datadog tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 16 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

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
