## Install

The vendor hosts this server, so you only add its URL and nothing runs on your machine. If it needs authentication, the row above says how; OAuth servers prompt you on first connection.

```
claude mcp add --transport http --scope project datadog https://mcp.datadoghq.com/v1/mcp
```

{
  "mcpServers": {
