Overview

What is 🗄️ MongoDB MCP Server for LLMS?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact directly with MongoDB databases. It allows querying collections, inspecting schemas, and managing data through natural language, designed for use with MCP clients such as the Claude Desktop app.

Install via npx by adding the server configuration to your Claude Desktop config file (MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json). The command uses npx mongo-mcp "mongodb://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>?authSource=admin".
