mongo-mcp Overview
What is mongo-mcp?
mongo-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server developed by QuantGeekDev. It is designed to facilitate seamless interaction between Large Language Models (LLMs) and MongoDB databases. With mongo-mcp, AI systems can query collections, inspect schemas, and manage database operations using natural language commands, making data management intuitive and accessible even to those with limited technical expertise.
How to Use mongo-mcp
To integrate mongo-mcp into your setup, you will need to configure it within the Claude Desktop application. This requires setting up your MongoDB connection URL and adjusting the configuration files accordingly. Here's a brief guide:
-
Prepare Your Environment: Ensure you have Node.js 18+, npx, Docker, and Docker Compose (for local testing), as well as an MCP client like Claude Desktop.
-
Configuration: Add the necessary configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:
- MacOS:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows:
%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- MacOS:
-
Install via Smithery: Use the Smithery CLI to install the MongoDB MCP Server automatically:
npx -y @smithery/cli install mongo-mcp --client claude
-
Create a Test Sandbox: If you lack a MongoDB server, use Docker Compose to set up a local test environment and seed it with sample data:
docker-compose up -d npm run seed
-
Example Prompts: Interact with your database using natural language prompts like:
- "What collections are available in the database?"
- "Find all users in San Francisco"
