Datadog is the standard observability platform for infrastructure and application monitoring. If your team already uses Datadog, you do not need to abandon it to get voice AI observability. Mise is designed to complement Datadog — not replace it. The division of responsibility is clear: Datadog monitors your infrastructure (latency, error rates, resource utilization, service health). Mise monitors your conversations (tone, prosody, frustration, turn structure, defect signatures). These are different data shapes, and they require different tools.Documentation Index

Where Datadog falls short for voice AI
Datadog ingests metrics, traces, and logs. Its data model is built around time series, service maps, and flat key-value attributes. This works well for infrastructure and request-level observability. Voice AI failures are different. A caller who hung up frustrated, a turn where the agent interrupted at the wrong moment, a pattern of calls where the bot mishandled a specific topic — these are not visible in a time series. They require:- Turn-level structure: What happened in which turn, in which order, by which speaker
- Acoustic signal: Not just “what was said” but how it was said — tone, confidence, hesitation
- Corpus-scale search: The ability to find the 47 calls out of 50,000 where a specific failure pattern occurred
- Audio replay: Jumping to the exact turn in context, not just reading a log line
Mise’s schema is built around turns, audio, and replays from the ground up. It is not a layer on top of flat metrics.
How Mise complements Datadog
Datadog handles infrastructure
Latency, error rates, uptime, resource usage, service dependencies — Datadog’s existing dashboards and alerts continue to handle these.
Mise handles voice corpus
Tone, prosody, frustration, interruptions, defect signatures — Mise indexes and surfaces these at the turn and corpus level.
The Mise MCP server
Mise exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI assistants — Claude, Cursor, Cline, and others — to query your voice corpus directly. For teams already using Datadog’s MCP server to give AI assistants access to infrastructure metrics, the Mise MCP server is the complementary layer for voice-specific queries. Where Datadog’s MCP server answers questions like “what was the p99 latency for the voice service over the last hour,” the Mise MCP server answers questions like:- “Show me calls where the user expressed frustration in the last 24 hours”
- “Find calls where the agent interrupted the user more than twice”
- “Cluster the top failure patterns this week by acoustic signature”
- “Replay the turn where the agent failed to handle the cancellation request in call
abc-123”
Request alpha access
Request access to Mise. After onboarding, you will receive your Mise MCP server endpoint and API key.
Add the Mise MCP server to your AI assistant
Configure your AI assistant to connect to the Mise MCP server alongside your existing Datadog MCP server. Both can run in parallel.
Query your voice corpus
With both servers connected, your AI assistant can access infrastructure metrics from Datadog and voice corpus data from Mise in a single conversation. You can ask it to correlate Datadog alert timestamps with Mise corpus queries to identify what was happening in your calls at the moment a metric degraded.
The Mise MCP server endpoint and configuration details are finalized and provided after alpha access is granted. The configuration above shows the expected shape — exact values will be in your onboarding materials.
