🚀 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

{
  "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:

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:

docker-compose up -d

2. Seed the database with test data:

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:

{
  "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
