Datadog + ChatGPT
Query Datadog (metrics, logs, monitors, events, incidents, dashboards) from any AI agent. 8 tools, dual-key auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
DATADOG_API_KEY, DATADOG_APP_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the Datadog REST API v1/v2 (api.datadoghq.com).
Setup:
- In your Datadog org → Personal Settings → Organization Settings → API Keys → create or copy an API key. Set
DATADOG_API_KEY. - Organization Settings → Application Keys → create an application key with at least
monitors_read,logs_read_data,dashboards_read,events_readscopes. SetDATADOG_APP_KEY. - Site matters: Datadog has multiple regions: US1 (datadoghq.com — default), US3 (us3.datadoghq.com), US5 (us5.datadoghq.com), EU1 (datadoghq.eu), AP1 (ap1.datadoghq.com), US1-FED (ddog-gov.com). If your org is on a non-US1 site, change
baseUrlaccordingly. …
Step 2 — Install the adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
