alt Hacker NewsTo be clear, are the main differentiators basically better built-in MCPs and better UX? Not knocking just trying to understand the differences.
I have had incredible success debugging issues by just hooking up Datadog MCP and giving agents access to it. Claude/cursor don't seem to have any issues pulling in the raw data they need in amounts that don't overload their context.
Do you consider this a tool to be used in addition to something like cursor cloud agents or to replace it?
For the debugging workflow you described, we would be a standalone replacement for cursor or other agents. We don't yet write code so can't replace your cursor agents entirely.
Re: diffentiation - yes, faster, more accurate and more consistent. Partially because of better tools and UX, and partially because we anchor on runbooks. On-call engineers can quickly map out that the AI ran so-and-so steps, and here's what it found for each, and here's the time series graph that supports this.
Interesting that you have had great success with Datadog MCP. Do you mainly look at logs?
