Connections are added inside an Access bundle. At claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag, open Access bundles in the left navigation, click into a bundle (or Create one), and go to its Credentials tab.
Connecting Datadog lets Claude query metrics, logs, and monitors during debugging from any channel under the bundle’s scope. You add it as a connection inside an Access bundle; the credential belongs to the agent, not to any person. Pair this connection with the Datadog plugin from Anthropic’s plugin marketplace so Claude knows how to call the API; see Attach plugins. This is an HTTP API connection, not an MCP server or a personal claude.ai connector.

​
Create the credential in Datadog

Create an API key under a service account in Datadog. Also create an Application key under the same service account. The Application key carries the read scopes, so restrict it to read-only roles. The form doesn’t require the Application key, but reading metrics, monitors, and dashboards does. Datadog’s own guide for creating the credential is at docs.datadoghq.com.

​
Add the connection to a bundle

In the bundle, click Connect next to Datadog. The picker has three Datadog entries, one per site. Pick the one that matches your Datadog account’s site. The form asks for the same fields in all three. Datadog has a separate API host per site, and a key only works against its own. If your account is on a site without a picker entry, pick any Datadog entry and override Allowed websites with your site’s API host: api.us3.datadoghq.com, api.ap1.datadoghq.com, or api.ddog-gov.com. To change the host later, open the ⋮ menu on this connection in the bundle’s Credentials tab and choose Edit. The Agent Proxy injects the credential at the network boundary; the model and the sandbox are not given the key. See how Agent Proxy works.

​
Verify the connection

In a channel under the bundle’s scope, in a new thread:
Datadog appears in the list once the connection is live. New threads pick up the connection on their own; in an existing thread, ask Claude to use the service by name.
