Before you start

• Node.js v24 or newer
• A Dynatrace environment URL (e.g. https://abc12345.apps.dynatrace.com), set as DT_ENVIRONMENT
• A Platform Token created in Dynatrace (Settings > Identity & access management > Platform tokens) with the relevant scopes — e.g. app-engine:apps:run, storage:logs:read, storage:metrics:read, storage:spans:read, storage:entities:read, storage:events:read, and davis-copilot/email scopes for those features. OAuth client credentials (OAUTH_CLIENT_ID / OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET) or browser-based authorization-code flow are also supported.

When to use it

• Use it when you're debugging a production incident and want logs, spans, and metrics correlated by trace ID without leaving your editor.
• Use it when you want to ask in plain English ('show me 5xx errors for the checkout service in the last hour') and have it generate and run the DQL.
• Use it when you need a quick read on open problems or security vulnerabilities before shipping a change.
• Use it when an agent should gate a deployment on observability signals (error rates, anomalies) from Davis analyzers.
• Use it when you want to push an investigation summary to Slack or a Dynatrace notebook automatically.

Quick setup

1. 1Ensure Node.js v24+ is installed.
2. 2Create a Platform Token in Dynatrace with the required storage and app-engine scopes (or set up OAuth client credentials).
3. 3Add the server to your MCP client config using `npx -y @dynatrace-oss/dynatrace-mcp-server@latest`.
4. 4Set the DT_ENVIRONMENT env var to your environment URL and supply DT_PLATFORM_TOKEN (or OAUTH_CLIENT_ID/OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET).
5. 5Optionally set DT_GRAIL_QUERY_BUDGET_GB to cap query cost, then restart your MCP client.
6. 6Verify by asking the agent to list open problems or run a simple DQL query.
