Database context for better code

Your database holds the core data for your applications. Retrieving database configuration, collection schemas, and sample data enables coding agents to generate accurate, working code and optimized queries.

Use with your favorite AI tools

The MongoDB MCP Server integrates with AI-powered IDEs and coding agents, providing the context developers and agents need to build with MongoDB.

Simplify development workflows

No more copy-pasting schemas or switching tools. Explore and manage MongoDB deployments without leaving your development environment.

Power your own agents

The MongoDB MCP Server lets you build agents that explore and query data autonomously. It acts as a plugin for any MCP-enabled agent.

Interact with MongoDB in natural language

Connecting the MongoDB MCP Server to your AI development tools lets you use natural language to explore and manage databases while generating accurate application code.

Connect to any MongoDB deployments

The MCP Server connects to any MongoDB deployment, including Atlas, Community Edition, and Enterprise Advanced. A connection string grants database access, while Atlas service account credentials unlock Atlas-specific tools for cluster management.

Code Snippet

> Explain the schema of the "products" collection.

I'll help you explain the schema of the "products" collection and provide a summary of the data. Let me interact with your MongoDB database through the MCP server to get this information.
  Ran `collection-schema` - MongoDB (MCP Server)
Now, let me fetch some sample data from the collection to provide you with a summary:
  Ran `find` - MongoDB (MCP Server)
Let's also get a count of the total number of documents in the collection:
  Ran `count` - MongoDB (MCP Server)
Let me get some aggregated statistics about the data:
  Ran `aggregate` - MongoDB (MCP Server)
  Ran `aggregate` - MongoDB (MCP Server)
Schema and Data Summary for the "products" Collection
Schema Overview
The "products" collection has the following schema:
1. _id: ObjectId - MongoDB's default unique identifier for each document
2. name: String - The name of the product
3. price: Number - The price of the product in USD
4. category: String - The category the product belongs to
5. quantity: Number - The available quantity of the product
6. inStock: Boolean - Flag indicating whether the product is in stock or not

This collection appears to be a simple product catalog for a store with various categories of merchandise, including pricing and inventory information

FAQ

An MCP server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced by Anthropic in November 2024. MCP is a standard that defines how LLM-based applications connect with diverse data sources and systems, especially for agentic use cases. It enables interoperability and modularity in complex AI ecosystems, making deployment easier, more flexible, and scalable.

The MongoDB MCP Server connects any MongoDB deployment (Atlas, Community Edition, or Enterprise Advanced) to AI-powered developer tools like GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Claude, or any MCP-enabled agentic system. It brings valuable context from MongoDB databases into developers’ environments, enabling data exploration, database operations, and context-aware code generation via natural language.

Additionally, the MongoDB MCP Server can serve as a building block for AI agents, giving them direct access to MongoDB databases for data retrieval and automated database operations.

Yes. The MongoDB MCP Server works with any MongoDB deployment, including Community Edition, Enterprise Advanced, and Atlas.

You can deploy the MongoDB MCP Server locally using stdio (for IDEs/agents like Windsurf or Cursor) or HTTP. It can also be self-hosted for broader access or packaged and deployed with Docker for easier containerized setups.
