Datadog Grok Build Plugin

Query your Datadog data directly from Grok Build using natural language. Ask about logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, monitors, and more.

What you need

  • A Datadog account
  • Grok Build CLI (v1.0.5 or later, the latest version is recommended)

Getting started

  1. Install the plugin from the Grok Build marketplace:

    /plugin install datadog
    
  2. Type /mcps on the Grok Build command-line, select the datadog-grok MCP server and authenticate. The agent will guide you through selecting the correct Datadog MCP domain. If you want to change the domain later, just tell the agent you want to change the Datadog domain (or run /ddconfig). The agent will guide you through it.

Using the plugin

Once connected, just ask the agent anything about your Datadog data:

Show me error logs for the "checkout" service from the last hour
What monitors are currently alerting?
Find traces for service "api-gateway" with latency > 500ms
List my dashboards

Can't connect?

Never connected before? Type /mcps on the Grok Build command-line, select the datadog-grok MCP server and authenticate. The agent will guide you through selecting the correct Datadog MCP domain.

Was working before but stopped? Run the /ddconfig command. It will check your site, authentication status, and network access to help diagnose the issue.

Advanced usage

Key authentication

Instead of OAuth, you can authenticate using a Datadog API key and application key. Set these environment variables before starting Grok Build:

DD_API_KEY=your-api-key \
DD_APPLICATION_KEY=your-application-key \
grok
Datadog MCP Domain

Grok provides a UI for selecting the Datadog MCP Domain upon first use. This can be overridden by setting an environment variable.

  • DD_MCP_DOMAIN — overrides the Datadog MCP domain that is manually selected.

Note that manual selection of the domain must be done at least one time to enable the plugin, but after that DD_MCP_DOMAIN will always override it.

Good to know

  • By default, authentication is handled via OAuth in your browser. Key authentication is also supported.
  • No Datadog credentials are sent to the AI model provider.
