概览

What is atlas-mcp-server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with MongoDB databases and MongoDB Atlas. It enables AI assistants to query, analyze, and manage MongoDB data and Atlas infrastructure through standardized MCP interfaces. Designed for developers using MCP-compatible clients like VS Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop.

How to use atlas-mcp-server?

Install by adding the server to your MCP client’s configuration file using npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest or via the Docker image mongodb/mongodb-mcp-server:latest. Provide either a MongoDB connection string or Atlas API service account credentials as environment variables. Use the --readOnly flag for safe read-only access by default.

FAQ from atlas-mcp-server

What is the difference between using a connection string vs Atlas API credentials?

A connection string gives direct database access; Atlas API credentials (service account client ID and secret) allow management of Atlas resources such as clusters and projects.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js version 22.13.0 or later, or Docker if using the containerized version.

How can I ensure safe read-only operations?

Use the --readOnly flag in the server configuration; it is included in all default examples for safety.

Where are credentials stored and how are they provided?

Credentials are provided via environment variables (MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING, MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID, MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET) or through MCP client configuration environment fields. Environment variables are recommended over command-line arguments for security.
