🚀 Quick Start

To get started, find your mongodb connection url and add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mongodb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mongo-mcp",
        "mongodb://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>?authSource=admin"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Installing via Smithery

To install MongoDB MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install mongo-mcp --client claude

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • npx
  • Docker and Docker Compose (for local sandbox testing only)
  • MCP Client (Claude Desktop App for example)

Test Sandbox Setup

If you don't have a mongo db server to connect to and want to create a sample sandbox, follow these steps

  1. Start MongoDB using Docker Compose:
bash
docker-compose up -d
  1. Seed the database with test data:
bash
npm run seed

Configure Claude Desktop

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Local Development Mode:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mongodb": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "dist/index.js",
        "mongodb://root:example@localhost:27017/test?authSource=admin"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Test Sandbox Data Structure

The seed script creates three collections with sample data:

Users

  • Personal info (name, email, age)
  • Nested address with coordinates
  • Arrays of interests
  • Membership dates

Products

  • Product details (name, SKU, category)
  • Nested specifications
  • Price and inventory info
  • Tags and ratings

Orders

  • Order details with items
  • User references
  • Shipping and payment info
  • Status tracking

🎯 Example Prompts

Try these prompts with Claude to explore the functionality:

Basic Operations

plaintext
"What collections are available in the database?"
"Show me the schema for the users collection"
"Find all users in San Francisco"

Advanced Queries

plaintext
"Find all electronics products that are in stock and cost less than $1000"
"Show me all orders from the user john@example.com"
"List the products with ratings above 4.5"

Index Management

plaintext
"What indexes exist on the users collection?"
"Create an index on the products collection for the 'category' field"
"List all indexes across all collections"

Document Operations

plaintext
"Insert a new product with name 'Gaming Laptop' in the products collection"
"Update the status of order with ID X to 'shipped'"
"Find and delete all products that are out of stock"

📝 Available Tools

The server provides these tools for database interaction:

Query Tools

  • find: Query documents with filtering and projection
  • listCollections: List available collections
  • insertOne: Insert a single document
  • updateOne: Update a single document
  • deleteOne: Delete a single document

Index Tools

  • createIndex: Create a new index
  • dropIndex: Remove an index
  • indexes: List indexes for a collection

Use Mongo MCP with multiple AI models

TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once Mongo is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP runs locally through the TypingMind MCP connector on your device.

Setup guide to use the local connector

Use this when the MCP server needs access to local files, apps, or private resources on your computer.

1

Open the MCP settings

In TypingMind, go to Settings, Advanced Settings, then Model Context Protocol and choose Setup Connector.

  1. Open TypingMind in your browser.
  2. Click the Settings icon.
  3. Go to Advanced Settings.
  4. Open the Model Context Protocol section.
  5. Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.

2

Run the connector command

Choose This Device, copy the command from TypingMind, and run it in Terminal. Keep the process running while you use MCP.

  1. Copy the setup command shown by TypingMind.
  2. Open Terminal on macOS or Windows Terminal on Windows.
  3. Paste and run the command.
  4. Approve the package install if Terminal asks you to proceed.
  5. Keep the Terminal window running while using MCP tools.
3

Add Mongo as a server

When the connector status is Ready, click Edit Servers and paste the MCP server configuration.

  1. Wait until the connector status shows Ready.
  2. Click Edit Servers.
  3. Paste the Mongo MCP server configuration.
  4. Save the server list.
  5. Refresh if you want to confirm the connector is still ready.

        "<mcp-server-package>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Use it across models

Save the server list, open Plugins, enable the Mongo MCP tools, then select any supported AI model in TypingMind and use the tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.

  1. Open the Plugins page in TypingMind.
  2. Enable the Mongo MCP tools.
  3. Start a chat and choose the AI model you want to use.
  4. Use the MCP tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.
  5. Switch to another AI model whenever needed without reconnecting MCP.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Mongo MCP server used for?

Mongo is an MCP server that lets compatible AI clients connect to external tools and context. In TypingMind, you can add this MCP server once and make its tools available in your AI workspace.

Can I use Mongo MCP with multiple AI models in TypingMind?

Yes. TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so you can use Mongo with different AI models such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other models you have configured in TypingMind without setting up the MCP server separately for each model.

Why use Mongo MCP with TypingMind?

TypingMind is one of the best frontends for LLM chat because it brings multiple AI models, prompts, plugins, AI agents, API keys, and MCP tools into one workspace. With Mongo connected, you can use its MCP tools across your preferred models while keeping your chat workflow organized in TypingMind.

How do I connect Mongo MCP to TypingMind?

Mongo runs through the TypingMind local MCP connector. This is best when the MCP server needs access to local files, desktop apps, command-line tools, or private resources on your computer.

What tools does Mongo MCP provide in TypingMind?

Mongo exposes MCP capabilities that can be enabled from the TypingMind Plugins page and used in chat or assigned to AI agents.

Do I need to share my API keys with TypingMind to use Mongo MCP?

No. TypingMind is local-first and lets you keep your model providers, API keys, prompts, and MCP configuration under your control. If Mongo requires authentication, add the required headers, OAuth settings, or local configuration for that MCP server when you create the connection.
