Sazabi
MCP connectors

Datadog

Give the Sazabi agent tools to query Datadog metrics, logs, traces, monitors, dashboards, and incidents using your Datadog site URL, API key, and Application Key.

About

This is an MCP connector that gives the Sazabi agent tools from Datadog's hosted MCP server. Datadog's hosted MCP server accepts two HTTP header credentials: an API key and an Application Key. Sazabi stores both keys securely and sends them as DD_API_KEY and DD_APPLICATION_KEY headers to Datadog's MCP endpoint. The server URL is built from the Datadog site URL you provide, so Sazabi connects to the correct regional endpoint for your account.

What the agent can do:

  • Query metrics, logs, and distributed traces
  • Browse monitors, dashboards, and alert policies
  • Search and manage incidents
  • Access APM service maps and performance data

Prerequisites

  • A Datadog account with access to the desired data
  • Your Datadog site URL from the top of your browser, such as https://app.datadoghq.com or https://us3.datadoghq.com
  • A Datadog API key created in Organization Settings > Access > API Keys
  • A Datadog Application Key created in Organization Settings > Access > Application Keys, either unscoped (it then inherits the owner's permissions) or with full scopes

Set up in the dashboard

Configure connectors in the dashboard under Settings > MCP connectors.

Open the connector

Find Datadog in Settings > MCP connectors.

Add your keys

Sazabi needs three values:

  1. Datadog site URL — Copy the URL from the top of your browser when logged into Datadog, such as https://app.datadoghq.com or https://us3.datadoghq.com. Sazabi uses this to build the matching hosted MCP endpoint URL for your region.

  2. API key — In Datadog, go to Organization Settings > Access > API Keys to create or copy your API key. Sazabi sends this as the DD_API_KEY header.

  3. Application Key — In Datadog, go to Organization Settings > Access > Application Keys to create or copy your Application Key. An Application Key inherits the permissions of the user who creates it. Sazabi sends this as the DD_APPLICATION_KEY header.

Set up with the CLI

Datadog authenticates with a Datadog API key and Application Key, and sazabi mcp-connectors connect only supports OAuth providers — so set up this connector in the dashboard first (above). Once it's connected, the Sazabi CLI can inspect and manage it (installed and authenticated — see sazabi mcp-connectors reference):

sazabi mcp-connectors list
sazabi mcp-connectors details <connection-id>

Find the connection ID with sazabi mcp-connectors list. To rotate the stored credentials later, use sazabi mcp-connectors update-credentials <connection-id>.

Verify

Open the connector's connection page under Settings > MCP connectors and confirm Sazabi lists the tools it discovered. Then, in a thread, ask the agent to use one of those tools and confirm it runs. If no tools appear, confirm the site URL is correct and both keys are valid.

Troubleshooting

No tools discovered — Confirm the Datadog site URL matches the region where your account lives and that both keys are correct. The site URL should be the exact origin, such as https://app.datadoghq.com.

Connection shows needs attention — One or both keys may have been revoked; recreate them and reconnect from Settings > MCP connectors.
