Dynatrace Copilot Agents

Cross-platform AI agents for Dynatrace demo workflows. Works on VS Code Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenAI GPTs.

Get Started

1. Install

Install

npx dt-copilot-agents install vscode        # VS Code Copilot
npx dt-copilot-agents install claude-code .  # Claude Code
npx dt-copilot-agents install cursor .       # Cursor
npx dt-copilot-agents install                # All platforms at once

2. Use

VS Code Copilot — Open Chat (Ctrl+Alt+I) → click the mode selector → pick Dashboard Generator → type your prompt

Claude Code — Type /dashboard in the chat input → select the slash command → provide your prompt

Cursor / Windsurf — Just ask in chat:

3. Prompt

SRE dashboard for Tata Steel
CISO dashboard for HDFC Bank
CEO dashboard for Reliance Industries
CIO dashboard for meeting today — prospect at Axtria Life Sciences
interview me for a VP Engineering dashboard

The agent researches the company, generates a 20-tile dashboard, and deploys it to your Dynatrace tenant — all automatically.

Zero prerequisites. The agent auto-installs dtctl CLI and authenticates via browser SSO if not already set up.

What's Included

Dashboard Generator — 4 Modes

Generates and deploys realistic persona-specific Dynatrace dashboards — in under 5 minutes.

| Mode | Trigger | How it works | |---|---|---| | Mode 1 — Demo (default) | Any simple prompt | Generates 20-tile dashboard with inline data record() DQL. Zero data ingestion needed. Instant. | | Mode 2 — Live Tenant | "real data", "their Dynatrace", or MCP connected | Discovers real entities via MCP → builds dashboard with live timeseries, fetch logs, fetch spans queries | | Mode 3 — Synthetic Ingest | "ingest", "persistent demo" | Generates realistic data → ingests via MINT/BizEvents API → dashboard queries live data | | Mode 4 — Interview-First | "interview me", "help me figure out" | Agent asks 6 discovery questions → infers persona, story arc, and layout → builds the perfect dashboard |

Meeting intelligence: Say "meeting today with [company]" to unlock story-arc selection, audience targeting, and CTA-focused layouts for your specific meeting goal.

Smart layout variants auto-select based on persona and meeting context: | Variant | Persona / Occasion | Character | |---|---|---| | A — Panorama | CEO, CIO, Board presentations | Tall KPIs, wide charts — executive sweep | | B — Standard | General / default | Balanced asymmetric grid | | C — Dense | SRE, Ops, VP Engineering | Compact tiles, maximum data density | | D — Hero | Renewal, PoV, first meeting | One tile dominates — the number that matters most | | E — Trend-First | Growth story, degradation story | Wider time-series tiles, trend is the narrative |

Supported Personas: | Executive | Technical / Operations | |---|---| | CEO — Business Impact | SRE — Reliability & SLOs | | CIO — IT Strategy (default) | IT Head — Infrastructure | | CTO — Technology & Innovation | Application Ops — APM | | CISO — Security & Compliance | MLOps — AI/Model Operations | | | Platform Engineering — Developer Experience | | | VP Engineering — Delivery & Quality |

Supported Industries: E-Commerce · Manufacturing · SaaS/Platform · Financial Services · Retail · Life Sciences · Telco

Features:

• Researches the company automatically via web (real plant names, product names, regions)
• Generates 20-tile dashboards with inline data record() DQL (Mode 1 — zero ingestion)
• Connects to live Dynatrace tenant for real metrics (Mode 2 — via MCP)
• Ingests synthetic data via MINT/BizEvents API for persistent demos (Mode 3)
• Guided discovery interview → builds the right dashboard (Mode 4)
• 5 smart layout variants that auto-select by persona and meeting context
• 6 story arcs: Risk, ROI, Visibility, Business Impact, Growth, Observability
• Deploys directly to Dynatrace tenant via dtctl CLI
• Validates all DQL queries before deploying (via MCP verify_dql)
• Layout is a flat "layouts": { "1": {x,y,w,h} } structure — correctly enforced

Platform Support

| Platform | Format | Install | Auto-deploy via DTCTL | |---|---|---|---| | VS Code Copilot | .agent.md + skill | npx dt-copilot-agents install vscode | Yes | | Claude Code | CLAUDE.md + .claude/commands/ | npx dt-copilot-agents install claude-code | Yes | | Cursor | .cursor/rules/*.mdc | npx dt-copilot-agents install cursor | Yes | | Windsurf | .windsurfrules | npx dt-copilot-agents install windsurf | Yes | | M365 Copilot | Declarative Agent | Teams Toolkit deploy | Via Power Automate | | OpenAI GPT | System prompt | Create Custom GPT | No (manual deploy) |

Auto-setup: The agent automatically installs dtctl and authenticates via browser SSO if not already set up — no manual prerequisite steps needed.

Installation

npm (recommended)

npx dt-copilot-agents install vscode        # VS Code Copilot
npx dt-copilot-agents install claude-code .  # Claude Code (current directory)
npx dt-copilot-agents install cursor .       # Cursor
npx dt-copilot-agents install                # All platforms at once
npx dt-copilot-agents info                   # Show supported personas & archetypes

Update to latest

npx dt-copilot-agents@latest install vscode

Alternative: PowerShell installer

git clone https://github.com/pushpendrasinghbaghel-ai/dt-copilot-agents.git
cd dt-copilot-agents
.\install.ps1                        # All platforms
.\install.ps1 -Platform vscode       # VS Code only

How It Works

All platforms share the same knowledge base (knowledge/dashboard-generator.md). Each platform gets a thin wrapper in its native format that references this shared knowledge. When you update the knowledge, all platforms benefit.

Prerequisites

• Web access (for company research)
• Platform-specific: VS Code + Copilot extension, Claude Code CLI, Cursor IDE, or Windsurf IDE

Configuration

Step 1: Install DTCTL CLI

macOS/Linux (Homebrew):

brew install dynatrace-oss/tap/dtctl

macOS/Linux (shell script):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dynatrace-oss/dtctl/main/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dynatrace-oss/dtctl/main/install.ps1 | iex

Verify: dtctl version

Step 2: Authenticate DTCTL (browser login — recommended)

# Opens your browser for Dynatrace SSO — no tokens to copy-paste
dtctl auth login

# Or for a specific context
dtctl auth login --context <your-context-name>

Alternative (CI/automation): dtctl auth login --token <API_TOKEN>

The agent uses your current DTCTL context by default. Switch contexts with:

dtctl config use-context <your-context-name>

Step 3: Connect Dynatrace MCP Server (optional — for DQL verification)

MCP enables the agent to verify DQL queries against your live tenant. It's optional — deployment works without it.

VS Code — One-click from MCP Gallery:

1. Command Palette → MCP: Add Server → search "Dynatrace" → install
2. Enter your tenant URL when prompted — authenticates via browser SSO

VS Code / Claude Code / Cursor — Remote MCP with token:

URL:  https://<YOUR_TENANT>.apps.dynatrace.com/platform-reserved/mcp-gateway/v0.1/servers/dynatrace-mcp/mcp
Auth: Bearer <YOUR_PLATFORM_TOKEN>

Generate a platform token at: https://<YOUR_TENANT>.apps.dynatrace.com/ui/apps/dynatrace.classic.tokens

See knowledge/dashboard-generator.md → Authentication section for platform-specific config snippets (VS Code mcp.json, Claude Code .mcp.json, Cursor .cursor/mcp.json).
