What shell are you using? I’d recommend using mongosh which you can download from MongoDB Shell Download | MongoDB.

With that, this is what the default prompt look like:

Connected to Atlas:
image

Connected to standalone node on localhost:
image

You can also get a fancier prompt.

Here is an example connected to Atlas reading from an analytics node:
image

And here is what it looks like connected to localhost:
image

If you are interested to see how to set that up, take a look at this blog I posted yesterday: MongoDB Shell tips and tricks - DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻
