What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Datadog API Key and APP Key
- Start managing your cloud security from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Security Analysts & SOC — search for security signals and triage active threats in real-time
- Incident Responders — hunt for threats using raw log context and malicous IP tracking
- Security Engineers — manage and deploy new detection rules using natural language
- Compliance Officers — audit security filters and detection rule configurations across environments
Built-in capabilities (10)
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
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
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
Use this immediately after verifying an attacker footprint. Additional threat hunt tool extracting exact log bounds (100 msgs)
Verifies the existence of proactive detections identifying AWS CloudTrail deviations, GCP anomalous IAM usage, and Kubernetes root escalations. List configured Datadog Security Detection Rules
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
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
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
Test API authentication validity against the Security Module
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
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Datadog Cloud SIEM data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent help me triage security alerts in Datadog?
Yes. Use the 'triage_signal' tool. You can update active threats from 'open' to 'archived', providing a required justification like 'false_positive'. The agent will push the status update directly to the Datadog SIEM platform.
How do I search for malicious activities matching specific IP addresses?
Use the 'get_raw_log_context' tool. Provide the suspicious IP address, and the agent will perform a threat-hunting search with a 10s lookbehind to capture highly localized context matching that source, helping you verify attacker footprints.
Can I see all active security detection rules through the agent?
Absolutely. The 'list_detection_rules' tool returns all custom and prepackaged Datadog Cloud SIEM rules. Your agent can then inspect specific rule schemas to verify evaluation windows, trigger cases, and notification hooks.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
