To use this with Claude Desktop, add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datadog": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/datadog-mcp/build/index.js"

          "-i",
          "--rm",
          "-e",
          "DD_API_KEY",
          "-e",
          "DD_APP_KEY",
          "datadog-mcp"
        ],
      "env": {
        "DD_API_KEY": "",
        "DD_APP_KEY": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage with VS Code

For quick installation in VS Code, configure your settings:

1. Open User Settings (JSON) in VS Code (`Ctrl+Shift+P` → `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)`)

2. Add the following configuration:

json

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "datadog": {
        "command": "node",
        "args": [
          "/path/to/datadog-mcp/build/index.js"
        ],
        "env": {
          "DD_API_KEY": "",
          "DD_APP_KEY": ""
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

If you're using Docker, you can configure it like this:

json

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "datadog": {
        "command": "docker",
          "args": [
          "run",
          "-i",
          "--rm",
          "-e",
          "DD_API_KEY",
          "-e",
          "DD_APP_KEY",
          "datadog-mcp"
        ],
        "env": {
          "DD_API_KEY": "",
          "DD_APP_KEY": ""
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, you can add this to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your workspace (without the `mcp` key):

json

{
  "servers": {
    "datadog": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/datadog-mcp/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DD_API_KEY": "",
        "DD_APP_KEY": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

If you're using Docker, you can configure it like this:

json

{
  "servers": {
    "datadog": {
      "command": "docker",
        "args": [
          "run",
          "-i",
          "--rm",
          "-e",
          "DD_API_KEY",
          "-e",
          "DD_APP_KEY",
          "datadog-mcp"
        ],
      "env": {
