This plugin is currently in Preview.
Query Datadog directly from Cursor using natural language. Ask about logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, monitors, and more — just like asking a colleague.
If you already have the Datadog MCP server registered separately (e.g., in
.cursor/mcp.json), disable or remove it first to avoid conflicts.
- Open Cursor Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the left sidebar or by running the "Cursor Settings: Tools & MCP" command in the Command Palette.
- Go to the Plugins section
- Install the datadog plugin
Before using the MCP Server installed by the plugin, you’ll be prompted to select the Datadog domain. Then complete the OAuth sign-in and you’re good to go.
Once connected, just ask the agent anything about your Datadog data:
Show me error logs from the last hour
What monitors are currently alerting?
Find traces for service "api-gateway" with latency > 500ms
List my dashboards
Run the /datadog-mcp-setup command in Cursor. It will walk you through configuring the Datadog MCP Server domain.
- Authentication is handled via OAuth in your browser.
- Your connection details are encrypted and stored in Cursor. No credentials are sent to the AI model provider.
