Before you connect
Questions about Datadog.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Datadog AI (LLM Observability) MCP show me how much I'm spending on OpenAI?
Yes, it can pull your spending metrics directly. You can ask your agent to show you costs across different providers like OpenAI or Anthropic to see where your budget is going.
How do I use Datadog AI (LLM Observability) to find specific prompt logs?
You can simply ask your agent to search for specific keywords or errors within your prompt logs. It will pull the relevant spans and show you the exact logic and responses.
Can I set up alerts for my LLM using Datadog AI (LLM Observability)?
Absolutely. You can ask your agent to create new monitors that trigger alerts when your LLM latency spikes or when your token usage hits a certain threshold.
Does the Datadog AI (LLM Observability) MCP work with Cursor?
Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client, including Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf. Once connected, your agent can access all your Datadog LLM telemetry.
How does Datadog AI (LLM Observability) help with model latency?
It allows you to query real-time latency metrics instantly. You can quickly identify which models are underperforming without having to manually filter through complex dashboards.
Can I see my deployment history with Datadog AI (LLM Observability)?
Yes, you can pull textual deployment marks. This helps you see exactly when you switched models or pushed new updates to your AI infrastructure.
Can my agent check token usage for a specific LLM model?
Yes. Use the 'query_metrics' capability with a query like 'avg:datadog.llm_observability.tokens{model:gpt-4}'. The agent will retrieve the numeric timeseries data directly from Datadog's metrics engine.
How do I search for specific prompt text in my logs?
Use the 'search_llm_spans' capability. Provide a search query matching your prompt identifiers. The agent will pull the explicit REST maps capturing the literal prompt logic text from your Datadog logs.
Can I see if there are any active incidents affecting my AI services?
Absolutely. The 'list_incidents' capability tracks outages and service disruptions in real-time. This allows your agent to identify exactly which external factors might be blocking your multi-agent orchestration pipelines.
