Transport
Streamable HTTP
Endpoint
https://mcp.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp (US1; endpoint varies by Datadog site)

OAuth 2.0 is recommended. PAT/SAT bearer token or DD_API_KEY plus DD_APPLICATION_KEY headers are documented alternatives. Endpoint varies by Datadog site.

Requirements

  • Datadog organization/site with MCP Server available
  • User or service-account permissions for intended resources
  • Remote HTTP MCP client

Setup steps

  1. Select the correct Datadog site in official setup docs and use its displayed endpoint; do not reuse another region
  2. Add endpoint as remote HTTP MCP and complete OAuth in browser.
  3. Use toolsets query parameter to restrict tool groups; configure only required permissions.
  4. Verify tools in client; check org-level write access and resource role permissions for writes.
Tools 3+

Current official docs list core and product toolsets and warn the inventory is under active development. The three stored names are verified examples only, not a full tools/list inventory; product permissions and selected toolsets determine available calls. execute_code runs agent-authored JavaScript in a managed sandbox under the user’s Datadog permissions.
