| ## Prerequisites | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| - Node.js (v20 or later) | ||||||
| - MongoDB Atlas account | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| ## Installation | ||||||
| ```shell | ||||||
| node -v | ||||||
| ``` | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| ### VSCode | ||||||
| - A MongoDB connection string or Atlas API credentials, **_the Server will not start unless configured_**. | ||||||
| - **_Atlas API credentials_** are required to use the Atlas tools. You can create a service account in MongoDB Atlas and use its credentials for authentication. See [Atlas API Access](#atlas-api-access) for more details. | ||||||
| - If you have a MongoDB connection string, you can use it directly to connect to your MongoDB instance. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Prerequisites: | ||||||
| ## Setup | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| - Node.js v20.x | ||||||
| ### Quick Start | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Step 1: Add the mcp server to VSCode configuration | ||||||
| Most MCP clients require a configuration file to be created or modified to add the MCP server. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| - Press `Cmd + Shift + P` and type `MCP: Add MCP Server` and select it. | ||||||
| - Select command (Stdio). | ||||||
| - Input command `npx -y mongodb-mcp-server`. | ||||||
| - Choose between user / workspace | ||||||
| - Add arguments to the file | ||||||
| - **Windsurf**: On MacOS, save the file in `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` or check the[latest instructions](https://docs.windsurf.com/windsurf/mcp) for your environment | ||||||
| - **VSCode**: https://docs.codeium.com/docs/mcp | ||||||
| - **Claude Desktop**: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user | ||||||
| - **Cursor**: follow https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Note: the file should look like: | ||||||
| #### Option 1: Connection String args | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| ``` | ||||||
| You can pass your connection string via args, make sure to use a valid username and password. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| ```json | ||||||
| { | ||||||
| "servers": { | ||||||
| "MongoDB": { | ||||||
| "type": "stdio", | ||||||
| "command": "npx", | ||||||
| "args": [ | ||||||
| "-y", | ||||||
| "mongodb-mcp-server" | ||||||
| ] | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| "servers": { | ||||||
| "MongoDB": { | ||||||
| "command": "npx", | ||||||
| "args": [ | ||||||
| "-y", | ||||||
| "mongodb-mcp-server", | ||||||
| "--connectionString", | ||||||
| "mongodb+srv://username:[email protected]/myDatabase" | ||||||
| ] | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| ``` | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Notes: You can configure the server with atlas access, make sure to follow configuration section for more details. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Step 2: Try talking to github copilot | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| - Can you connect to my mongodb instance? | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| ### Claude Desktop | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Step 1: Install claude and login | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Note: follow instructions at https://claude.ai/download | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Step 2: Launch Claude Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config | ||||||
| #### Option 2: Atlas API credentials args | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Paste the mcp server configuration into the file | ||||||
| Use your Atlas API Service Account credentials. More details in the [Atlas API Access](#atlas-api-access) section. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| ```json | ||||||
| { | ||||||
| "mcpServers": { | ||||||
| "servers": { | ||||||
| "MongoDB": { | ||||||
| "command": "npx", | ||||||
| "args": ["-y", "mongodb-mcp-server"] | ||||||
| "args": [ | ||||||
| "-y", | ||||||
| "mongodb-mcp-server", | ||||||
| "--apiClientId", | ||||||
| "your-atlas-client-id", | ||||||
| "--apiClientSecret", | ||||||
| "your-atlas-client-secret" | ||||||
| ] | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| ``` | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Step 3: Close and Relaunch Claude Desktop and click on the hammer icon, the MongoDB MCP server should be detected. | ||||||
| #### Other options | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| You may experiment asking `Can you connect to my mongodb instance?`. | ||||||
| Alternatively you can use environment variables in the config file or set them and run the server via npx. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| - Connection String via environment variables in the MCP file [example](#connection-string-with-environment-variables) | ||||||
| - Atlas API credentials via environment variables in the MCP file [example](#atlas-api-credentials-with-environment-variables) | ||||||
