Open-source MCP server from Google that connects AI agents to Google Cloud databases and many other databases.

MongoDB MCP Server overview and key facts (October 2026)
Official MCP server for MongoDB databases and Atlas clusters with query, schema and administration tools.
What is MongoDB MCP Server?
The MongoDB MCP Server connects AI assistants to MongoDB databases and Atlas clusters, so developers and data teams can query collections, inspect schemas and manage Atlas resources in natural language.
Database tools include find, aggregate, insert-many, update-many and delete-many as well as collection-schema, list-databases and collection-indexes. Atlas tools manage clusters, database users and stream processing. Access works with a connection string or Atlas service account credentials, and a read-only mode limits the assistant to retrieval and metadata. The server runs via npx, in Docker, in public clouds or as a MongoDB-hosted server with OAuth, with plugins for Cursor and Claude. The GitHub API showed about 1,100 stars and a push on September 28, 2026.
MongoDB MCP Server AI features and use cases
- Explores data without writing queriesAn assistant runs find and aggregate operations from a plain-language question. Developers and analysts inspect collections faster than by writing aggregation pipelines by hand.
- Explains schemas and indexescollection-schema and collection-indexes let the assistant describe document structure and existing indexes. Teams can spot missing indexes before performance problems appear.
- Administers Atlas resourcesAtlas tools create clusters or database users on request. Platform teams handle routine administration from the same assistant they use for code.
What sets MongoDB MCP Server apart
- Covers both database operations and Atlas administration in one server.
- Available as a local process or as a MongoDB-hosted server with OAuth.

Questions to ask before you buy MongoDB MCP Server
Enable read-only mode unless write access is needed, and use credentials with minimal rights; the delete-many tool can remove data. The README recommends environment variables for secrets instead of command-line arguments. Documents returned to the assistant reach its model provider, so check whether they contain personal data.
