What it does
Datadog's local MCP server for code security scanning, which also works as a command-line tool. It runs on the developer's machine over stdio and lets an AI coding assistant scan the code on disk for vulnerable code patterns, leaked secrets, vulnerable dependencies and infrastructure-as-code problems, either together or one kind at a time. It can also produce a software bill of materials and try out a custom static analysis rule before saving it to Datadog. Most scans need a Datadog API key and application key. It installs through Homebrew or release downloads and can add four companion agent skills. Datadog marks it as Preview.
Capabilities
- Run static analysis, secrets, dependency and IaC scans on local code
- Generate a software bill of materials
- Check specific libraries for known vulnerabilities
- Test a custom static analysis rule and save it to Datadog
