Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Datadog MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

run in your terminal

claude mcp add datadog-mcp -- npx -y datadog-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: DD_API_KEY (Datadog API key), DD_APP_KEY (Datadog Application key), DD_SITE (Datadog site (e.g., datadoghq.com, datadoghq.eu, us3.datadoghq.com)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Datadog MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Datadog MCP?

Datadog MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package datadog-mcp was installed 896 times last week.

How do I connect Datadog MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls datadog-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Datadog MCP?

The npm package datadog-mcp was installed 896 times in the last week. Week over week that is +5%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Datadog MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 5 stars on GitHub and 5 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
