What is Mongo Mcp

mongo-mcp is a Machine Chat Protocol (MCP) service designed for MongoDB operations. It provides a set of tools that enable large language models (LLMs) to interact with MongoDB databases through basic CRUD operations and management tasks.

Use cases

Use cases for mongo-mcp include integrating with chatbots that need to store and retrieve user data, applications that require real-time data manipulation in MongoDB, and any system that benefits from automated database management through a conversational interface.

How to use

To use mongo-mcp, clone the repository from GitHub, navigate to the project directory, and install the package using pip. You can start the MCP server directly or configure it using environment variables to set the MongoDB connection string and other options.

Key features

Key features include MongoDB instance connection management, listing databases and collections, performing CRUD operations (insert, query, update, delete), full support for MongoDB query syntax and projection operations, robust error handling and logging, and a standard input/output (stdio) based MCP transport implementation.

Where to use

mongo-mcp can be used in various fields that require database management and interaction, particularly in applications involving large language models, data analysis, and backend services that utilize MongoDB as a database solution.
