Connect via VS Code
To connect to a database deployment with VS Code, copy your connection information from Atlas and use it to connect using VS Code. You can connect to a standalone, replica set, or sharded cluster host.
Copy Your Deployment's Connection Information
To find and copy your deployment's connection information:
Navigate to your Cluster Overview.
Click Database near the top of the Atlas console.
Locate the database deployment to which to connect from the list of database deployments.
Click the Connect button to the right of your database deployment's name.
A Connect dialog appears with a list of available connection methods.
Select MongoDB for VS Code.
Follow the directions under Connecting with MongoDB for VS Code to create a connection to your database deployment.
Create a Connection to a Deployment
For instructions on creating a connection to your database deployment using VS Code, see Connect to Your MongoDB Deployment in the MongoDB for VS Code documentation. If you copied your Atlas connection string in the previous procedure, follow the steps to use your Atlas connection string.
Tip
The Connect to Your MongoDB Deployment page also provides information on disconnecting from a deployment and information on activating, renaming and removing a connection.
