Frequently asked questions

1

What data can I access with Datadog MCP Server?

You can access monitors, dashboards, metrics metadata, events, logs (search and aggregation), and incidents. All tools provide read-only access to Datadog resources.

2

What authentication is required?

You need a Datadog API key and an Application key. These can be scoped to minimum permissions using the listed required scopes (e.g., `monitors_read`, `dashboards_read`).

3

Does Datadog MCP Server support multiple Datadog regions?

Yes. Specify the site using `DD_SITE` or `--site`. Supported regions include US (`datadoghq.com`), EU (`datadoghq.eu`), US3 (`ddog-gov.com`), US5 (`us5.datadoghq.com`), and AP1 (`ap1.datadoghq.com`). You can also set separate endpoints for logs and metrics.

4

What runtime dependencies are required?

Node.js version 16 or higher. The server is installed via npm and can be run with `npx`.

5

How do I troubleshoot authentication errors?

If you receive a 403 Forbidden error, verify your API and Application keys are correct, have necessary scopes, and that you are using the correct endpoint for your region. Check Claude Desktop's MCP logs for details.
