Overview

The Datadog MCP Server enables AI agents to access your Software Delivery data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The software-delivery toolset provides tools for interacting with CI Visibility and Test Optimization directly from AI-powered clients like Cursor, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex.

Use cases

The Software Delivery MCP tools unlock AI-assisted workflows for:

Debugging pipeline failures: Ask your AI agent to find recent pipeline failures, analyze error logs, and suggest fixes.
Identifying flaky tests: Query for flaky tests in your repository and get prioritized recommendations for which to fix first.
Analyzing CI performance: Get aggregated statistics on pipeline durations, failure rates, and trends over time.
Triaging test failures: Understand which tests are failing, their ownership, and historical patterns.

Available tools

The software-delivery toolset includes the following tools:

search_datadog_ci_pipeline_events: Search CI pipeline events with filters and get details on failures, durations, and statuses.
aggregate_datadog_ci_pipeline_events: Aggregate CI pipeline events for statistics like average durations, failure counts, and percentile analysis.
get_datadog_flaky_tests: Find flaky tests with triage details including failure rate, category, owners, and CI impact.
aggregate_datadog_test_events: Aggregate test events to analyze reliability and performance trends.
search_datadog_test_events: Search test events with filters and get details on them.

Example prompts

After you are connected, try prompts like:

Show me all the pipelines for my commit 58b1488.
What’s causing the integration-test job to fail on my branch?
Find active flaky tests for the checkout service sorted by failure rate.
How many failed pipelines have there been in the last 2 weeks?
Show me the 95th percentile of pipeline duration grouped by pipeline name.

Setup

To use the Software Delivery tools, connect to the Datadog MCP Server with the software-delivery toolset enabled. Add the toolsets query parameter to the endpoint URL for your Datadog site:
