MongoDB MCP Server

Overview

The MongoDB MCP Server is a natural language interface designed for agentic applications to efficiently manage and search data in MongoDB. It integrates seamlessly with MCP (Model Content Protocol) clients, enabling AI-driven workflows to interact with structured and unstructured data in MongoDB. Using this MCP Server, you can ask questions like:

• "Store this document in the collection"
• "Create an index on this field"
• "Find documents matching these criteria"
• "Perform an aggregation pipeline"

Features

• Natural Language Queries: Enables AI agents to query and update MongoDB using natural language.
• Seamless MCP Integration: Works with any MCP client for smooth communication.
• Full MongoDB Support: Handles collections, documents, indexes, and aggregations.
• Search & Filtering: Supports efficient data retrieval and querying in MongoDB.
• Scalable & Lightweight: Designed for high-performance data operations.

Tools

This MCP Server provides tools to manage the data stored in MongoDB.

• collection tools to create, drop and list collections
• document tools to insert, update, delete and query documents
• index tools to create and manage indexes for efficient querying
• aggregation tools to perform complex data processing pipelines
• query tools to find and filter documents with various conditions

Integration with Claude Desktop

You can configure Claude Desktop to use this MCP Server.

1. Specify your MongoDB credentials and TLS configuration
2. Retrieve your uv command full path (e.g. which uv)
3. Edit the claude_desktop_config.json configuration file
   • on a MacOS, at ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mongodb": {
            "command": "<full_path_uv_command>",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "<your_mcp_server_directory>",
                "run",
                "src/main.py"
            ],
            "env": {
                "MONGODB_HOST": "<your_mongodb_host>",
                "MONGODB_PORT": "<your_mongodb_port>",
                "MONGODB_USERNAME": "<your_mongodb_username>",
                "MONGODB_PASSWORD": "<your_mongodb_password>",
                "MONGODB_AUTH_SOURCE": "<your_auth_source>",
                "MONGODB_SSL": True|False,
                "MONGODB_CA_PATH": "<your_mongodb_ca_path>"
            }
        }
    }
}
