Datadog

Connect an agent to Datadog's MCP server for metrics, logs, traces and monitors, using a bearer token.

Datadog hosts its own MCP server, which gives an agent access to your Datadog metrics, logs, traces and monitors. ilert connects to it with a bearer token you create in Datadog.

Prerequisites

• A Datadog account with the MCP server enabled for your organisation
• A token for the MCP server, created as described in Datadog's Setup guide
• The Datadog site your organisation is on — visible in your Datadog URL (datadoghq.eu, us3.datadoghq.com, …)

The endpoint is fixed per site and derived from your selection, so there is no URL field:

Site	MCP endpoint
US1 (datadoghq.com)	https://mcp.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp
US3 (us3.datadoghq.com)	https://mcp.us3.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp
US5 (us5.datadoghq.com)	https://mcp.us5.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp
EU1 (datadoghq.eu)	https://mcp.datadoghq.eu/v1/mcp
AP1 (ap1.datadoghq.com)	https://mcp.ap1.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp
AP2 (ap2.datadoghq.com)	https://mcp.ap2.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp
UK1 (uk1.datadoghq.com)	https://mcp.uk1.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp

Create the connector

1

Navigate to Connectors in the ilert navigation menu

2

Scroll to the MCP Servers section and click Connect on the Datadog MCP Server card

3

Fill in the dialog:

• Name: a name for the connector (defaults to "Datadog MCP")
• Datadog region: your Datadog site (defaults to EU1)
• Token: the Datadog MCP token you created

4

Click Test connection to confirm the token works and the tools can be listed

5

Click Save

The site must match the organisation the token belongs to. A token from a US organisation used against the EU endpoint fails authentication.
