Reviewed by Daniel Nikulshyn·Updated July 2026

Overview

The mongo-mcp tool is a MongoDB Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact directly with MongoDB databases using natural language. The tool enables querying collections, inspecting schemas, and managing data seamlessly. The mongo-mcp server provides several features, including collection schema inspection, document querying and filtering, index management, and document operations such as insert, update, and delete. It is primarily designed for use with the Claude Desktop app, but can be adapted for other MCP clients. The tool requires Node.js 18+ and can be installed via Smithery or manually. The server can be configured by adding a MongoDB connection URL to the Claude Desktop config file. A demo video is available to showcase its functionality. The tool's capabilities include basic operations like listing collections, showing schemas, and querying documents, as well as more advanced queries and index management.
