Datadog MCP Server

by bhayanak

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.) to interact with Datadog's observability platform. Query metrics, search logs, trace APM data, manage monitors/alerts, analyze dashboards, and investigate incidents — all through natural language.

Monorepo Structure

  datadog-server/          # MCP server (16 tools)

As a VS Code extension

Install the VSIX from releases, set your API keys in Settings > Datadog MCP, and the server appears in your MCP Servers panel automatically.
