Install Datadog in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @us-all/datadog-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

Datadog MCP Server
The Datadog MCP that answers "why is this happening?" — not just "what's the value?"_**
Aggregation tools that fold 5–7 sequential API calls into one structured response. Full SLO CRUD. Fleet automation. The widest Datadog API coverage in any MCP — 163 tools built on the @us-all MCP standard.
What it does that others don't
- Aggregation tools — analyze-monitor-state and slo-compliance-snapshot collapse 5–7 sequential API calls into one structured response with a caveats array for partial failures. No other Datadog MCP ships this pattern.
- Full SLO CRUD — create, update, delete SLOs (and their corrections). The official Bits AI MCP and community alternatives are read-only on SLOs.
- Fleet Automation — 15 tools across deployments and schedules. Only this server.
- Status Pages — 21 tools for full status-page lifecycle (components, degradations, maintenances). Only this server.
- Token-efficient by design — extractFields projection, DDTOOLS/DDDISABLE 16-category toggles, and a search-tools meta-tool keep LLM context low across 163 tools.
- Apps SDK card — slo-compliance-snapshot renders as a visual card on ChatGPT clients via _meta["openai/outputTemplate"]. Claude clients receive the same JSON content (non-breaking).
- stdio + Streamable HTTP — defaults to stdio (Claude Desktop / Code). Set MCPTRANSPORT=http for ChatGPT Apps SDK or remote clients (Bearer auth via MCPHTTP_TOKEN).
Try this — 5 prompts
Connect the server to Claude Desktop or Claude Code, then paste any of these:
- SLO health — "List my SLOs and their error budget remaining this month. Group by status: compliant, at-risk, breached."
- Incident triage — "There's an active incident on checkout-service. Pull the linked monitors, the recent error spikes from APM, and which deployments touched the service in the last 24h."
- Monitor noise audit — "Find monitors that alerted more than 10 times in the last 7 days but had MTTR under 5 minutes — these are probably flapping."
- RUM error spike — "RUM error rate jumped on the checkout funnel between 14:00 and 14:30 today. Show me the top error groups, affected sessions, and the user actions before the errors."
- Fleet rollout — "Schedule the datadog-agent 7.55.0 rollout to the staging cluster, weekends only, starting next Saturday."
When to use this vs Datadog's official MCP
Datadog's official MCP (Bits AI MCP, GA 2026-03-09) is complementary, not a replacement:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Datadog: common questions
- Is Datadog MCP server safe?
- Mostly: it is graded B (80/100). Read the Datadog safety report
- How do I install Datadog?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Datadog need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
DD_API_KEY,DD_APP_KEY. - Is Datadog maintained?
- The last commit was 115 days ago (2026-07-10). The latest release is v1.21.1.
- What can I use instead of Datadog?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: maintenant MCP server, Servonaut MCP server and Vercel MCP server.
- How does Datadog compare with other Developer tools MCP servers?
- safety score 80/100 (higher than 55% of 1,119 Developer tools servers); github stars 2 (more than 65% of 854 Developer tools servers); downloads a week 559 (more than 86% of 430 Developer tools servers with a package). Full comparison.
