Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Datadog to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Datadog works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Datadog to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 11 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Datadog, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Datadog. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Datadog owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical teams who need real-time observability without leaving their development environment.

  • 01

    DevOps Engineers

    They use the agent to monitor system health and audit alerts without opening the Datadog dashboard.

  • 02

    Software Developers

    They search application logs and verify metric telemetry directly from their IDE.

  • 03

    SREs

    They monitor active alerts and analyze performance trends during active incident responses.

FAQ

Questions Datadog owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect Datadog to my AI client?

    You connect the Datadog MCP through the Vinkius catalog. Once connected, you will need to provide your Datadog API Key, APP Key, and Site to authorize the connection.

  • 02

    Can I mute alerts using this MCP?

    Yes. You can use the mute_monitor capability to set temporary silence periods for specific monitors, including setting an automatic expiration.

  • 03

    Which AI clients can use this Datadog MCP?

    This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 04

    Can I search for specific error messages in my logs?

    Yes. The search_logs capability allows your agent to interact with log storage to find entries matching your specific query syntax and status levels.

  • 05

    Does this MCP work with my existing Datadog dashboards?

    Yes. You can use the list_dashboards and get_dashboard capabilities to view dashboard identifiers, titles, and layout structures.

  • 06

    Can my agent query specific Datadog metrics using DDQL?

    Yes. Use the 'query_metrics' capability. Provide your DDQL query string and the target time range. The agent will fetch the numeric timeseries data directly from Datadog's telemetry datastores.

  • 07

    How do I search for a specific error message across my application logs?

    Use the 'search_logs' capability. 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.

  • 08

    Can I see which monitors are currently in an alert state?

    Absolutely. The 'list_monitors' capability 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.
