Datadog Claude Code Plugin
Query your Datadog data directly from Claude Code using natural language. Ask about logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, monitors, and more.
What you need
- A Datadog account
- Claude Code (v2.1.30+)
Getting started
If you already have the Datadog MCP server registered separately (e.g., in .claude/mcp.json), disable or remove it first to avoid conflicts. Run /mcp in Claude Code, then restart Claude Code.
Start Claude Code, install the plugin from the official marketplace:
/plugin install datadog@claude-plugins-officialAuto-updates: Enable auto-update so Claude Code notifies when an update is available. Run /plugin, select the Marketplaces tab, select claude-plugins-official, then select Enable auto-update.
Before you can start querying your Datadog data, you’ll need to connect the plugin to Datadog using your account. The setup process will guide you in selecting the correct Datadog MCP domain. After setup, follow the instructions shown in Claude Code.
You can manually trigger setup by running the /ddsetup command.
Using the plugin
Once connected, just ask the agent anything about your Datadog data:
