MCP
One MCP session, both toolsets
One session gives your product or agent every Datadog and Slack tool at once — connect once, list tools, and call them like any single-app session.
// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
{
requestInit: {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
"x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
"x-pd-environment": "production",
"x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
"x-pd-app-slug": "datadog,slack_v2",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// One list, both toolsets: Datadog and Slack tools arrive
// together, each keyed by its own app's slug.
// e.g. run Get Account Info:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "datadog-get-account-info",
arguments: {},
})import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const externalUserId = "{external_user_id}" // any stable ID for this user in your system
const [datadogTools, slackV2Tools] =
await Promise.all([
pd.components.list({ app: "datadog" }),
pd.components.list({ app: "slack_v2" }),
])
// One external user owns both connected accounts, so either app's tools
// run on their behalf with the same externalUserId.curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/components?app=datadog" \

# Connect both accounts to the same external_user_id, then
# configure and invoke either app's tools on that user's behalf.ARCHITECTURE
One user, two connected accounts
Your user connects each account once, under whatever ID they already have in your product. The two stay independent — either can be revoked on its own — and your code reaches both through that one user.

TOOLS
Datadog tools
The Datadog tools this pairing puts in reach, each one running on your user's own connected account.
Actions top 8 of 13
-
Get Account Info
actionDetect the Datadog region for the connected account. Call this FIRST before any other Datadog tool if you do not already know the region. Returns the region domain (e.g.datadoghq.com) which must be passed as theregionparameter to Search Logs, Search Monitors, Get Metric Data, and all other Datadog tools. See the docsRead-onlyv1.0.2 -
Get Account Region
actionDetect the Datadog region for the connected account by validating the API key against each regional endpoint. Use this to discover the correct region before calling other Datadog actions. See the docsRead-onlyv0.0.1 -
Get Metric Data
actionQuery time-series metric data for analyzing trends and system performance. Query syntax:avg:system.cpu.user{*},sum:requests.count{env:prod} by {host},max:system.mem.used{service:web}. Bothfromandtoare POSIX timestamps in seconds. Use Search Metrics first to discover available metric names. Use Search Hosts to find valid host tags for scoping. After finding anomalies, use Search Logs to investigate related entries. See the docsRead-onlyv1.0.2 -
List Logs
actionGet a list of logs matching a filter query. Uses the GET endpoint with a higher rate limit (3600/hr vs 300/hr). See the docsRead-onlyv0.0.1 -
Post Metric Data
actionPost custom time-series metric data points to Datadog. Data appears in dashboards, monitors, and can be queried via Get Metric Data. Points: JSON object where keys are Unix timestamps (seconds) and values are numeric, e.g.{"1640995200": 1.0}. Use Search Metrics to verify a metric name exists, or post to a new name to create it. This is a WRITE operation that creates or appends data to a metric time series. See the docsWritev1.0.2 -
Search Dashboards
actionList and search Datadog dashboards. Returns dashboard IDs, titles, URLs, and metadata. Dashboard URL:https://app.{region}/dashboard/{id}where region comes from Get Account Info. Use alongside Search Services to find dashboards related to a specific service. See the docsRead-onlyv1.0.2 -
Search Events
actionSearch Datadog events: monitor state changes, deployment markers, error spikes, and infrastructure events. Filter bysources(e.g.nagios,docker),tags(e.g.env:prod,service:web), andpriority(normalorlow). Time range defaults to last 24h (POSIX timestamps in seconds). To investigate a monitor alert, use Search Monitors first, then search events for the relevant time range. Follow up with Search Logs for deeper investigation. See the docsRead-onlyv1.0.2 -
Search Hosts
actionSearch monitored infrastructure hosts. Filter by tag (env:production), name (host:web-01), or partial match. Sort bycpu,iowait,load,status, orapps. Host names from results can scope queries in Get Metric Data (e.g.avg:system.cpu.user{host:web-01}), filter logs in Search Logs (host:web-01), or filter metrics in Search Metrics. Max 1000 results. See the docsRead-onlyv1.0.2
TOOLS
Slack tools
The Slack tools this pairing puts in reach, each one running on your user's own connected account.

-
Send Message to Channel
actionSend a message to a public or private channel. Legacy, channel-only variant — prefer Post Message for new integrations: it covers channels, users, and groups from a single tool, and also supports threaded replies and unfurl settings. Use this tool only if a workflow specifically needs to target a channel exclusively, without the user/group support Post Message offers. See the documentationWritev0.2.4 -
Add Emoji Reaction
actionAdd an emoji reaction to a message. See the documentationWritev0.0.28 -
Add Reaction
actionAdd an emoji reaction to a message. Accepts a channel ID (preferred — resolves instantly) or channel name (resolved by scanning up to 5 pages, ~5,000 channels, of the workspace's channel list — a name beyond that bound will not be found). Use Get Channel History or Search to find the message timestamp. Emoji name should be without colons (e.g.thumbsup,fire,heart). See the documentationWritev0.0.8 -
Archive Channel
actionArchive a public or private channel. Direct messages and group DMs can't be archived — pass a channel ID (e.g.C1234567890), not a user or group ID. See the documentationWritev0.0.36 -
Browse Files
actionList files shared in a channel or across the workspace. Accepts a channel ID (preferred — resolves instantly) or channel name (resolved by scanning up to 5 pages, ~5,000 channels, of the workspace's channel list — a name beyond that bound will not be found). Filter by file type (e.g.images,pdfs,snippets). Returns file metadata including name, type, size, and download URL. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.8 -
Build and Send a Block Kit Message
actionConfigure custom blocks and send to a channel, group, or user. See the documentation.Writev0.5.11 -
Create a Channel
actionCreate a new channel. See the documentationWritev0.0.36 -
Create Reminder
actionCreate a reminder. See the documentationWritev0.0.37
