Release Notes

Released August 4, 2026

New features and updates:

  • Requires an explicit connection id for all database operations. The connect, atlas-connect-cluster, and atlas-local-connect-deployment tools return a connection id, and a pre-configured connection uses the preconfigured id.

  • Adds Customer-Managed Key (CMK) encryption support to the atlas-create-cluster tool.

  • Adds multi-region configuration support to the atlas-create-cluster tool.

  • Updates the aggregate tool schema description to guide models toward constructing correct aggregation pipelines.

Bug fixes:

  • Validates the resourceName and peeringId parameters in Stream Processing tools to block path traversal.

  • Requires the projectName and orgId parameters for the atlas-create-project tool.

  • Rejects unrecognized tool arguments with strict input validation.

  • Paginates output from the atlas-list-orgs and atlas-list-projects tools.

Released July 14, 2026

New features and updates:

  • Redacts sensitive information from configuration resource output by default.

  • Adds a maxSessions option to control the number of sessions the MCP server creates.

  • Extends MQL validation to cover projections in the find, export, and explain tools.

  • Adds validation when creating a new database user.

Bug fixes:

  • Redacts sensitive information from MCP server log output by default.

  • Updates cluster listing output to include the project name inside the untrusted-data tag.

Released June 16, 2026

New features and updates:

  • Disables server-side JavaScript functions ($where, $function, and $accumulator) by default to prevent unintended behavior. To re-enable it, set disableServerSideJs to false in the configuration settings.

  • Adds an atlas-load-sample-dataset tool to load sample datasets into an Atlas cluster.

  • Adds an atlas-pause-resume-cluster tool to pause and resume Atlas clusters.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixes an issue where renaming a collection with dropTarget: true was not blocked when destructive operations were disabled.

  • Fixes an issue where mongosh CLI options such as oidcTrustedEndpoint were not applied in the connect-tool path.

Released June 4, 2026

New features and updates:

  • Adds an atlas-create-cluster tool to create M10–M80 replica set and single-shard Atlas clusters. The tool automatically selects a recommended instance size (M10 or M30) based on existing project clusters and returns immediately while the cluster provisions in the background.

Released May 22, 2026

New features and updates:

  • Adds an atlas-upgrade-cluster tool to upgrade Atlas Free or Flex clusters to a higher tier.

  • When connecting to Atlas Free or Flex tier clusters, the MCP Server now automatically checks for active resource alerts and surfaces a recommendation to upgrade when relevant thresholds are exceeded.

  • Adds a database-level aggregation tool.

  • The setup command now includes an option to download MongoDB Agent Skills alongside the MCP Server configuration.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixes an issue where atlas-list-clusters returned an error instead of an empty result.

  • Fixes an issue where aggregations were blocked when getSearchIndexes failed.

  • Fixes an aggregate schema compatibility issue with OpenAI models.

  • Fixes an issue with search index checks where the MCP server would incorrectly infer that a MongoDB deployment doesn't have Atlas Search support.

Released April 20, 2026

New features and updates:

  • Adds a maxTimeMS configuration option, allowing you to set a time limit for query execution.

  • Adds support for a configurable minimum log level.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixes an issue where the atlas-list-alerts missed open and active alerts.

  • Fixes an issue where the MCP Server API client did not fall back to browser-based fetch, which caused connectivity failures in certain environments.

Released March 24, 2026

New features and updates:

  • MCP Server is now compatible with Claude Code and Open Code.

  • Adds new Atlas Stream Processing tools: atlas-streams-discover, atlas-streams-build, atlas-streams-manage, and atlas-streams-teardown.

  • Moves vector search and lexical search index management tools from public preview. Those tools can now operate on lexical and vector search indexes when available.

  • Adds a service to collect and report metrics about tool usage.

  • Removes MCP automated embeddings feature.

  • Adds support for deploying the MCP Server to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.
