Vinkius supports streamable HTTP and SSE.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
What is the Datadog MCP Server?
The Datadog MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Datadog via 11 tools. Monitor applications via Datadog — query performance metrics, search logs, and list active monitors directly from any AI agent. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.

Tools for your AI Agents to operate Datadog
Ask your AI agent "Show me the CPU usage for 'web-server' over the last 30 minutes" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 11 tools connected to real Datadog data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Interacts with the alerting boundary to set temporary silence periods, optionally with an automatic expiration timestamp. Mute a monitor
Resolves time-series data within the specified UNIX timestamp range. Returns metric points, scope tags, and unit metadata for infrastructure and application monitoring. Query time-series metrics
Interacts with the log storage boundary to retrieve entries matching the query syntax, including timestamps, status levels, and structured attributes. Search application logs
What the Datadog MCP Server unlocks
Connect your Datadog account to any AI agent and take full control of your infrastructure monitoring and log management through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Metric Auditing — Execute static queries targeting numeric telemetry datastores to resolve specific DDQL metrics objects generated dynamically
- Log Investigation — Perform structural extraction matching target string traces inside Datadog logs to evaluate status boundaries across your apps
- Monitor Management — Discover explicit system rule endpoints bounding configured triggers against alert metrics to verify health states
- Telemetry Extraction — Fetch timestamp arrays natively from numeric logged endpoints to analyze performance trends over specific time intervals
- Log Filtering — Apply ISO boundary mappings to compare logging payloads and identify exactly when errors or bottlenecks occurred
How it works
1. Connect the Datadog integration to your AI assistant.
2. Authorize using your Datadog API Key, APP Key, and Site.
3. Monitor your entire cloud infrastructure using natural language.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — monitor system health and audit alerts without switching to the Datadog dashboard
- Software Developers — search through application logs and verify metric telemetry directly from the IDE or chat
- SREs — monitor active alerts and analyze performance trends during incident response
- System Admins — audit monitor configurations and verify system boundaries through natural language
Frequently asked questions about the Datadog MCP Server
Can my agent query specific Datadog metrics using DDQL?
Yes. Use the 'query_metrics' tool. Provide your DDQL query string and the target time range. The agent will fetch the numeric timeseries data directly from Datadog's telemetry datastores.
How do I search for a specific error message across my application logs?
Use the 'search_logs' tool. Provide a query matching your error string and an ISO time boundary. The agent will retrieve the structural extraction of logs matching those parameters to help you identify failures.
Can I see which monitors are currently in an alert state?
Absolutely. The 'list_monitors' tool allows you to filter by group state (e.g., 'alert,warn'). The agent pulls the explicitly configured system triggers to show you which services are currently unhealthy.
