This is a Claude Code plugin (currently in Preview) that connects Claude Code to a preconfigured Datadog MCP server, letting you query Datadog logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and monitors using natural language. It requires a Datadog account and Claude Code v2.1.30+, and is installed via /plugin install datadog@claude-plugins-official. Setup connects the plugin to your Datadog account and selects the correct Datadog MCP domain, either through OAuth in the browser or via API key/application key environment variables. According to the README, no Datadog credentials are sent to the AI model provider.
