MongoDB MCP Server

What does “MongoDB” MCP Server do?

The MongoDB MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server acts as a bridge between AI assistants and MongoDB databases. It enables AI-driven tools, agents, or workflows to connect directly with MongoDB instances, allowing for seamless database queries, management, and data retrieval through standardized MCP interfaces. By exposing database operations as easily accessible resources and tools, MongoDB MCP Server empowers developers to automate database tasks, enhance development workflows, and integrate MongoDB data into LLM-powered applications. This server is particularly valuable for scenarios where AI assistants need to interact with structured data, perform CRUD operations, and support analytics or reporting tasks, all while adhering to the Model Context Protocol standard for interoperability and security.

Use Cases of this MCP Server

• Database Management: Enables AI assistants and developers to connect and manage MongoDB databases programmatically through MCP, supporting tasks like querying and updating data.
• Data Retrieval for Analytics: Automate extraction of data from MongoDB for use in reports, dashboards, or LLM-powered analytics.
• Application Integration: Easily connect MongoDB databases to LLM agents or tools in various development environments, facilitating rapid prototyping and production deployments.
• Automated Data Processing: Use LLMs to trigger data processing operations, such as filtering, aggregation, or transformation, directly on MongoDB collections.

How to set it up

Windsurf

1. Install prerequisites (Node.js, MongoDB).
2. Open your Windsurf configuration file.
3. Add the MongoDB MCP Server to your mcpServers section.
4. Save and restart Windsurf.
5. Verify connection in the Windsurf interface.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mongodb-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@kiliczsh/mcp-mongo-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Claude

1. Ensure Node.js and MongoDB are installed.
2. Locate Claude’s configuration file.
3. Insert MongoDB MCP server in mcpServers.
4. Restart Claude.
5. Check the server status in the Claude UI.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mongodb-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@kiliczsh/mcp-mongo-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

1. Install Node.js and MongoDB.
2. Edit Cursor’s MCP configuration.
3. Add the MongoDB MCP server into the mcpServers list.
4. Save and relaunch Cursor.
5. Confirm server is running in Cursor.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mongodb-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@kiliczsh/mcp-mongo-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Cline

1. Install dependencies (Node.js, MongoDB).
2. Open Cline’s config file for MCP servers.
3. Register the MongoDB MCP server.
4. Save the file and restart Cline.
5. Confirm setup through Cline’s diagnostics.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mongodb-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@kiliczsh/mcp-mongo-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Securing API Keys

If the server requires API keys or sensitive inputs, use environment variables:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mongodb-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@kiliczsh/mcp-mongo-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "MONGODB_URI": "your-mongodb-uri"
      },
      "inputs": {}
    }
  }
}

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "mongodb-mcp": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “mongodb-mcp” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Our opinion

Based on the tables, the MCP MongoDB Server provides the essentials for setup and use but lacks explicit documentation for prompts, resources, and tools. It is a practical bridge for AI and MongoDB integration, but the lack of detailed protocol primitives reduces flexibility and transparency. Overall, it’s useful for straightforward use cases but would benefit from richer documentation and explicit resource/tool lists.

MCP Score

Rating: 4/10 – Good base utility and open source, but not enough protocol surface or documentation detail for advanced or diverse MCP use cases.
