Dynatrace for AI

Everything AI agents need to work with Dynatrace, starting with skills.

Skills are portable knowledge packages following the Agent Skills open format. They give AI coding agents the domain-specific context to query, analyze, and interpret Dynatrace data. They work with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and 30+ other compatible tools.

Installation

Skills Package (skills.sh)

npx skills add dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and other compatible agents.

Claude Code Plugin

claude plugin marketplace add dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai
claude plugin install dynatrace@dynatrace-for-ai

Update with claude plugin marketplace update && claude plugin update dynatrace@dynatrace-for-ai.

Manual

Copy skill directories into your agent's skills path (.agents/skills/, .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/, etc.).

Connecting to Dynatrace

Skills provide knowledge only. To run live queries and manage your environment, pair them with a tool.

Dynatrace CLI (dtctl)

dtctl is a kubectl-style CLI for the Dynatrace platform. It ships with its own Agent Skill that teaches agents how to operate it.

brew install dynatrace-oss/tap/dtctl                        # Install
dtctl auth login --context my-env \
  --environment "https://<env>.apps.dynatrace.com"           # Authenticate
npx skills add dynatrace-oss/dtctl                           # Install the dtctl skill
dtctl doctor                                                 # Verify setup

Or install the dtctl skill with dtctl itself: dtctl skills install

Dynatrace MCP Server

The Dynatrace MCP server provides Dynatrace API access via MCP. Use this if your agent supports MCP natively.

How Skills Work

Skills follow the Agent Skills specification and use progressive disclosure:

1. Catalog - Agents load only name + description (~100 tokens per skill) to know what's available.
2. Instructions - When relevant, the full SKILL.md is loaded (<5000 tokens).
3. Resources - Detailed reference files in references/ are loaded on demand.

Install all skills without penalty. Agents only load what they need.
