## Overview{% #overview %}

The Datadog–Elastic Agent Builder integration is an MCP-based integration that enables Datadog to securely access an [Elastic Agent Builder MCP server instance](https://www.elastic.co/docs/explore-analyze/ai-features/agent-builder/mcp-server). Through this integration, the Bits AI SRE agent is granted access to designated indexes and data sources that are exposed via the available MCP tools.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Prerequisites{% #prerequisites %}

Your Elastic Agent Builder MCP Server must be hosted on Elastic Cloud or Enterprise and available from the public internet. See the Elastic instructions for [getting started with Elastic Agent Builder](https://www.elastic.co/docs/explore-analyze/ai-features/agent-builder/get-started).

### Create a Kibana API key{% #create-a-kibana-api-key %}

Follow the Elastic instructions to [create a Kibana API key](https://www.elastic.co/docs/explore-analyze/ai-features/agent-builder/mcp-server#configuring-mcp-clients).

### Allow Datadog IP addresses to reach your Elastic Agent Builder MCP server{% #allow-datadog-ip-addresses-to-reach-your-elastic-agent-builder-mcp-server %}

If your Elastic deployment uses [IP filtering](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/security/ip-filtering), ensure Datadog IP addresses have been added to the allow list. Retrieve the current Datadog IP addresses from the [Datadog IP ranges endpoint](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/ip-ranges.md). Use the IP addresses listed under the `webhooks` key in the response.

### Connect your Elastic Agent Builder MCP Server account to Datadog{% #connect-your-elastic-agent-builder-mcp-server-account-to-datadog %}
