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.

A futuristic MCP client docking bay
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.

Maintenance Window Management

Mute specific monitors through your agent to prevent false alerts while you perform system updates.

SLO Compliance Audits

Ask your agent to check which services are nearing their error budget limits.

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. 16 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 to move fast during incidents and want to avoid dashboard hopping.

  • 01

    SRE / DevOps Engineers

    They use the agent to query monitors and mute noisy alerts without opening a browser.

  • 02

    Platform Teams

    They use the agent to run metric queries and validate SLO compliance.

  • 03

    On-Call Engineers

    They use the agent to triage incidents and search error logs during outages.

FAQ

Questions Datadog owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to my Datadog account?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Datadog API Key and site URL. Once connected, it is ready to use in your AI client.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can I mute alerts using my AI agent?

    Yes, you can use the mute_monitor capability to silence specific monitors during maintenance or to reduce noise.

  • 04

    Does this MCP support custom metric queries?

    Yes, you can run time-series queries using standard Datadog syntax through the query_metrics capability.

  • 05

    Can I search through my logs?

    Yes, the search_logs capability allows you to search all indexed log sources using Datadog query syntax.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

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

    Yes. The query_metrics capability 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.
