Datadog MCP: Documentation
Updated:
Connection
Remote: https://mcp.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Auth is OAuth through your Datadog account: your client opens a login window and gets access to your Datadog organization. No local install — the server is fully hosted.
Tools
search_datadog_logs— search logs with filters by time, service, status.get_datadog_metric— metric values and graphs.create_datadog_monitor— create an alert/monitor on a metric or logs.apm_search_spans— search APM traces and spans, including by trace_id.search_datadog_security_signals— Cloud SIEM signals without opening a separate product.
Agent flow
"Find 500 errors over the last hour and show related traces", "create a monitor for latency exceeding 500ms", "were there any security signals on this host in the last day?".
Limits
API limits: 50 requests per 10 seconds and 50,000 tool calls per month per organization — keep an eye on quota under heavy agent usage.
Pricing
The MCP server is free for any Datadog account; access to the underlying data (logs, APM, security) depends on which products are connected and their pricing plans.
