# Datadog MCP server

Yes. Datadog publishes an official MCP server at https://mcp.datadoghq.com/api/unstable/mcp-server/mcp. It's hosted and lets you sign in with your Datadog account. We last checked it on 1 Oct 2026. MartechDB lists only servers the vendor publishes itself, never community servers.

## Questions

### Does Datadog have an official MCP server?

Yes. Datadog publishes its MCP server itself. Datadog's own documentation describes it. MartechDB only lists servers a vendor publishes, never community copies.

### What is the Datadog MCP server URL?

The address is https://mcp.datadoghq.com/api/unstable/mcp-server/mcp.

### Does the Datadog MCP server need an API key?

No. You sign in with your Datadog account (OAuth), and your AI client handles the rest.

### How do I connect Datadog MCP to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

In Claude, add https://mcp.datadoghq.com/api/unstable/mcp-server/mcp as a custom connector (Customize, Connectors, Add custom connector). In ChatGPT, turn on developer mode (Settings, Apps, Advanced settings) and create an app with the same address. In Cursor, use the Add to Cursor link on MartechDB's page, or paste the JSON settings into your mcp.json. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http datadog https://mcp.datadoghq.com/api/unstable/mcp-server/mcp
