Datadog via MCP gives Corunner agents a read-only interface for production and incident investigation. This page covers how to connect Datadog, configure usage guidance, verify capabilities, and manage the connection in Corunner.

Connect with Datadog

Open the MCP Servers tab in the Corunner web app.

​
Server details

When a locked endpoint is used, only OAuth is available in the Authentication row. Choose the site matching your Datadog organization:

​
Configure Usage Guidance

Usage guidance tells Corunner agents when and how to use this server. It is optional but recommended for safe, consistent behavior. Good guidance answers six purposes:
  • When should agents use this server?
  • What specific tasks should they perform?
  • Which tasks are permitted?
  • Which tasks require human approval?
  • What must not be accessed?
  • How should results be presented?
Never enter secrets into Usage guidance. This field is for instructions, not credentials.
Copy and adapt this example:

​
Verify the Connection

After a successful connection, the Datadog card shows:
  • a green Connected status pill on the name row
  • an enabled Connected toggle
  • a meta line such as Connected to <workspace> with a relative time
  • a <N> capabilities button that expands into the capability list

​
Capabilities

Datadog exposes the following capabilities to Corunner agents:
  • search logs
  • inspect metrics and traces
  • read monitors and incidents
  • review dashboards and events
  • read-only beta
This integration is in read-only beta; the specific tools loaded from the Datadog MCP server may evolve. Click the capability count on the connected card to see the current tool list.

​
Check Connection Health

On the connected card, the Test connection icon (Wi-Fi glyph next to the Connected toggle) runs a live probe of the server.
  • Green check = reachable and credentials valid
  • Red warning = probe failed
If the test fails, open Edit configuration to refresh credentials or update the Server URL.

​
Edit Configuration

Click the Edit configuration icon (settings glyph) on the connected card to update the connection. Editable fields:
  • Server name
  • Server URL (only if not managed by Corunner for this server)
  • Authentication method and credentials
  • Custom headers (non-OAuth only, under Advanced)
  • Usage guidance
Creating, editing, disconnecting, and changing observation consent are admin-only actions. Members can view status and capabilities but cannot modify the connection.
Click the Observation consent icon (brain glyph) on the connected card to open the Observation consent - Datadog drawer. Observation is separate from tool connection. It controls whether Corunner passively reads resources into organizational memory, while capabilities are unaffected. Scopes have Mode (Disabled / Shadow / Active) and Sensitivity (Standard / Restricted / Excluded). Excluded scopes cannot be enabled.
“Observation is separate from connecting a tool. Only resources listed here are eligible for passive intelligence, and excluded scopes cannot be enabled.”
The precise effect on Memory & Learnings for advanced modes should be confirmed with the Corunner product team if you plan to depend on it in policy.
Creating, editing, disconnecting, and changing observation consent are admin-only.

​
Disable or Disconnect

Disconnecting deletes stored credentials for this connection. Provider-side OAuth tokens should also be revoked from the provider account if you want to eliminate them entirely.
