Datadog MCP Server
Datadog MCP servers enable AI models to interact with Datadog observability: metrics, logs, traces, monitors, dashboards, incidents, and infrastructure insights.
Overview
The Datadog MCP Server bridges AI agents with Datadog by providing structured access to observability data and controls. It enables natural-language workflows over metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, monitors, incidents, and infrastructure contexts.
Implementations:
Official preview by Datadog and community servers in Python, Node.js, and Docker.
