Overview
What is MongoDB Lens?
MongoDB Lens is a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides full featured access to MongoDB databases using natural language via LLMs, enabling queries, aggregations, performance optimization, and more.
How to use MongoDB Lens?
Install via npm (npm install -g mongodb-lens) or Docker, configure by setting the MONGODB_URI environment variable, then set up your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop or Cursor) according to the provided client setup instructions. Run the server and explore your databases using natural language.

Frequently asked questions
Does MongoDB Lens require a specific runtime?
Yes, it requires Node.js (installed via npm) or can be run as a Docker container. Both packages are available on npm and Docker Hub.
How do I connect MongoDB Lens to my database?
Supply a MongoDB connection string via the `MONGODB_URI` environment variable at startup, or use the `connect-mongodb` tool to switch databases at runtime.
Are destructive operations protected?
Yes, operations like `drop-collection`, `delete-document`, `drop-database`, and others require explicit user confirmation before execution.
Which MCP clients are supported?
MongoDB Lens works with Claude Desktop and Cursor out of the box, and can be configured with any MCP‑compatible client.
