Datadog MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server that provides AI assistants with comprehensive, read-only access to the Datadog API.
What can it do?
Ask your AI assistant questions like:
- "Are there any monitors currently in alert status?"
- "Show me the CPU usage for host web-01 over the last hour."
- "What events happened in our infrastructure in the last 24 hours?"
- "Find all monitors tagged with service:web."
- "Query the average request latency for our API service."
- "Get the details of monitor 12345."
Features
- 6 read-only tools across 3 categories (Monitors, Metrics, Events)
- Multi-site support — works with all 6 Datadog regions (US1, US3, US5, EU, AP1, Gov)
- LLM-optimized responses — internal metadata stripped, metric series downsampled with summary statistics
- Type-safe — built with TypeScript and Zod schema validation
- Security-first — read-only by design, uses Datadog API + Application key pair
