Datadog (AP2) MCP connector

The Datadog (AP2) connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent search the logs, metrics, traces, monitors, incidents and notebooks in your AP2 Datadog account, with every request signed in as the person asking.

  • How it connects. Connects over OAuth. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

Use cases

What teams do with Datadog (AP2) through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • SRE

    Find out why a monitor is alerting

    Ask which monitors are alerting, pull the metric behind the alert and the recent logs for the affected host, and get a plain summary of what changed.

  • On-call

    Catch up on an incident at handover

    Get the current state of an open incident, the events around it and the spans that look slow, then write the handover note into a notebook.

  • Platform engineering

    Check a monitor definition before saving it

    Validate a new monitor against the AP2 account and compare it with the monitor templates and monitor groups already in use.

  • Support

    Look up what a customer actually experienced

    Search RUM events for a customer's session and the logs from the same minutes, so the reply to the ticket is based on what happened rather than a guess.

  • Engineering

    Trace a slow request end to end

    Fetch a trace by id, aggregate the spans by service and spot the hop that is taking the time.

  • Engineering management

    Write the weekly reliability digest

    Search last week's incidents, group them by service and severity, and draft a notebook that the team reviews before it goes out.

Try asking

  • “Which monitors are alerting in production right now?”
  • “Summarize the open incidents from the last 24 hours.”
  • “Show error logs for the checkout service since this morning.”

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

Automations

A schedule starts the incident digest.

Incidents are fetched, grouped and drafted, then a person approves before it posts to Datadog (AP2).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Datadog (AP2) to Claude?

Connect Datadog in AP2 inside Elaichi first: you are sent to Datadog's own sign-in page for the AP2 region, you sign in and approve access, and you are done. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp.

Does Datadog (AP2) work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Datadog in AP2 is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, is added to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. Each client signs people in over OAuth, so nobody pastes a key into a chat window.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Datadog (AP2) data?

An agent connected to Datadog in AP2 can search logs, metrics, traces, spans, hosts, events, monitors, dashboards and incidents, aggregate spans and RUM events, check a monitor definition before it is saved, and create or edit notebooks. It cannot change monitors, resolve incidents or delete anything through this connector. Short, specific asks such as "error logs for checkout since 9am" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Datadog (AP2) give the AI access to the whole account?

No. Every request to Datadog in AP2 runs as the person who signed in, so the agent sees the organizations, logs and dashboards that person can already open in Datadog and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what Datadog itself allows.

Can my team share one Datadog (AP2) connection?

Yes. One person connects Datadog in AP2 and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else on the team handles a credential. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records who searched which logs and who edited which notebook.

Can I stop an agent from changing things in Datadog (AP2)?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow searching logs, metrics and incidents in Datadog in AP2 while blocking the creation and editing of notebooks. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Datadog (AP2) connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Datadog in AP2 at once, across every client they used. A connection they shared keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want the account gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent together.

Does the Datadog (AP2) MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Datadog (AP2) is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Datadog (AP2)?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Datadog (AP2). Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Datadog (AP2) call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Datadog (AP2)?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Datadog (AP2): one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
