Install

claude mcp add --transport http datadog https://mcp.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp

Endpoint for the US1 site. Use mcp.datadoghq.eu for the EU.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

Datadog hosts the MCP server and the agent connects to it over HTTP. Through it the agent queries logs, metrics, traces, incidents and other observability data from your account. This lets you investigate outages and error causes without switching to the web UI. The repository has quick setup and Claude Agent SDK examples, including an agent that investigates issues and posts findings to Slack.

Who it is for. For SREs, DevOps engineers and developers whose services are monitored in Datadog.

Good fit when

  • You need to find an error's cause in logs and traces while fixing code
  • You want a quick summary of an ongoing incident
  • You want to build an automated agent that triages alerts

Not a fit when

  • Your monitoring is not in Datadog
  • Logs with personal data must not be sent to the agent's model

Example request

Find errors in the checkout service logs from the last hour and show related traces

Limitations

Requires a Datadog account. The endpoint depends on your Datadog site: mcp.datadoghq.com for US1, mcp.datadoghq.eu for the EU, others in the docs. The full tool list and auth options are in Datadog's documentation, not the README. Datadog does not serve customers in Russia, and access without a VPN is unverified.

How to disable. Run claude mcp remove datadog or delete the datadog block from .mcp.json.

Security check

  • Reads logs and traces that may contain personal data
  • Passes monitoring data to the agent's model

README in short

The README is short: a Claude Code connect command, a .mcp.json snippet with HTTP transport and a note about Datadog sites. It links to two Claude Agent SDK agent examples and to full docs with tools and sample prompts. MIT licensed.

FAQ

What if my account is in the EU?

Replace mcp.datadoghq.com with mcp.datadoghq.eu. Other site endpoints are in Datadog's docs.

Do I need to install anything locally?

No, the server is remote and managed by Datadog; just add the URL to your MCP client.
