What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Claude Desktop and claude.ai now natively support custom connectors with remote MCP URLs, so users no longer need to install the local datadog_mcp_cli binary for these clients. This updates the MCP setup docs to:

  • Replace the local binary setup instructions for Claude Desktop with a custom connector flow that links to the Claude help center guide
  • Rename the tab from "Claude Desktop" to "Claude Desktop & claude.ai"
  • Add claude.ai to the supported clients table

Merge instructions

Merge readiness:

  • Ready for merge (not quite yet, waiting for preview build)

Additional notes

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…ude.ai

The local binary is no longer needed for Claude Desktop or claude.ai — both
now support custom connectors with the remote MCP URL natively. Replaces the
stdio/binary setup instructions with a link to the Claude help center guide.
