Recommend Cursor plugin marketplace for Datadog MCP Server on Cursor#36130
Conversation
Update the Cursor tab on the MCP Server setup page to direct users to the Datadog plugin from the Cursor plugin marketplace instead of the Datadog extension. The extension is still recommended for non-MCP features (Exception Replay, Code Insights, View in IDE, Log Annotations, Static Code Analysis, Fix in Chat). Update the VS Code & Cursor extension docs to match.

Hi @sumedham this looks good just a couple of recommendations to link to the Cursor marketplace

| Datadog's [Cursor and VS Code extension][1] includes built-in access to the managed Datadog MCP Server. | ||
| For Cursor, Datadog recommends installing the **Datadog plugin** from the Cursor plugin marketplace. The plugin manages OAuth authentication, regional endpoint configuration, and toolset selection for you. |

Done — linked to https://cursor.com/marketplace/datadog inside the alert in 8ac4b0a.
Address review feedback by linking the Cursor plugin marketplace (https://cursor.com/marketplace/datadog) on both pages. Reduce the Cursor install steps on the MCP Server setup page to install the plugin from the marketplace and verify permissions.

Looking better just need to fix the links !
| 1. **Restart the IDE.** | ||
| 1. Confirm the Datadog MCP Server is available and the [tools][3] are listed: Go to **Cursor Settings** (`Shift` + `Cmd/Ctrl` + `J`), select the **Tools & MCP** tab, and expand the extension's tools list. | ||
| 1. If you previously installed the Datadog MCP Server manually, remove it from the IDE's configuration to avoid conflicts. | ||
| 1. Install the Datadog plugin from the [Cursor plugin marketplace][2]. |

Ah my apologies! I forgot to explain that for links within tabs, the links have to go at the end of the tab content rather than at the bottom of the page. Reference: https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/docs4docs/pages/1182958054/Markdown+Shortcode+Reference#Tabs

What does this PR do? What is the motivation?
Updates the Cursor installation instructions for the Datadog MCP Server. The Datadog extension for Cursor no longer installs the MCP Server; users should now install the Datadog plugin from the Cursor plugin marketplace to access the MCP Server.
