What is the Datadog MCP Server?

Datadog MCP server - 165 tools for metrics, monitors, logs, APM, RUM, incidents, CI/CD, status pages, fleet automation, and more

What the server does

Connect the server to Claude Desktop or Claude Code, then paste any of these:

  • 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, DD_TOOLS/DD_DISABLE 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)
