What is the Datadog MCP Server?

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

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

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Datadog API Key and your site URL (e.g., https://api.datadoghq.com for US or https://api.datadoghq.eu for EU)
3. Start monitoring your infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • SRE / DevOps Engineers — query monitors, mute noisy alerts, and inspect incidents without opening the Datadog dashboard
  • Platform Teams — run metric queries and validate SLO compliance through conversational AI
  • On-Call Engineers — triage incidents, search error logs, and check host health during outages via natural language

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I silence noisy monitors during scheduled maintenance?

Yes. The mute_monitor action silences a specific monitor by its ID, suppressing all alert notifications. This is ideal during deployment windows or planned maintenance. Use search_monitors to find the monitor by name or tag first, then mute it by ID.

02

Does Datadog require two credentials to connect?

Yes. You need your API Key (found in Organization Settings > API Keys) and your Base URL, which depends on your Datadog site region: https://api.datadoghq.com for US1, https://api.datadoghq.eu for EU, or https://api.us3.datadoghq.com for US3. The API Key is sent via the DD-API-KEY header.

03

Can I run time-series metric queries with custom time ranges?

Yes. The query_metrics tool accepts a Datadog metric query string (e.g., avg:system.cpu.user{host:web-01}), a start epoch timestamp, and an end epoch timestamp. It returns the time-series data points for that metric across the specified window.

04

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.

05

Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?

Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.

06

How do I list all connected MCP servers?

Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
