FAQ — Sentry MCP vs Datadog MCP

  • Sentry MCP or Datadog MCP — which should I pick?

    Sentry for application errors. Datadog when you also need infra metrics and APM.

  • Are both Sentry MCP and Datadog MCP free?

    Sentry MCP is freemium; Datadog MCP is paid. Both are MCP servers — costs depend on the underlying SaaS or self-hosting.

  • Can I run both at the same time?

    Yes. MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) accept multiple servers in one config. Add both to mcpServers and the agent will pick whichever tool fits the request.
