Datadog MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Claude and other AI assistants with direct access to the Datadog API. Query metrics, search logs, manage monitors, investigate security signals, and track billing — all through natural language.
Features
| Category | Tools |
|---|---|
| Metrics | Query timeseries data, list active metrics |
| Logs | Search and filter logs with full query syntax |
| Security Monitoring | Search security signals (SIEM, CWS, CSM) |
| Workload Protection | List/manage CSM Threats policies and agent rules |
| Monitors | List, create, get, mute, and unmute monitors |
| Dashboards | List and retrieve dashboard definitions |
| Billing & Usage | Monthly costs, projected costs, usage breakdowns, cost attribution, security-specific usage |
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- A Datadog account with API and Application keys
- Claude Code or any MCP-compatible client
Setup
1. Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/anthropics/datadog-mcp-server.git
cd datadog-mcp-server
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Configure credentials
Copy the example env file and add your Datadog keys:
cp .env.example .env
Edit .env:
DD_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
DD_APP_KEY=your_app_key_here
# DD_SITE=datadoghq.eu # Optional: for non-US regions
You can create API and Application keys in Datadog Organization Settings.
3. Add to Claude Code
Add the server to your Claude Code settings (~/.claude/settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"datadog": {
"command": "/path/to/datadog-mcp-server/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["/path/to/datadog-mcp-server/server.py"],
"env": {
"DD_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
"DD_APP_KEY": "your_app_key"
}
}
}
}
Or for non-US Datadog regions, add "DD_SITE": "datadoghq.eu" to the env block.

Example Usage
Once configured, you can ask Claude things like:
- "What's our Datadog bill for February?"
- "Show me error logs from the payments service in the last hour"
- "Are there any critical security signals from today?"
- "Create a monitor that alerts when CPU usage exceeds 90%"
- "How much are we spending on Datadog security products?"
- "What's the projected cost for this month?"
