Watch the demonstration video to see MongoDB Atlas MCP Server in action.
## Features
### MCP Tools
- `create_atlas_cluster` - Create a new MongoDB Atlas cluster in an existing project
- `setup_atlas_network_access` - Configure network access for an Atlas project
- `create_atlas_user` - Create a new database user with atlasAdmin role
- `get_atlas_connection_strings` - Retrieve connection strings for a cluster
- `list_atlas_projects` - List all Atlas projects accessible with the provided API key
- `list_atlas_clusters` - List all clusters in a specific Atlas project
## Installation
```bash
npm install mcp-mongodb-atlas
```
## Usage
### As a Command Line Tool
You can run the Atlas Project Manager directly from the command line:
```bash
# Using environment variables
export ATLAS_PUBLIC_KEY="your-public-key"
export ATLAS_PRIVATE_KEY="your-private-key"
npx mcp-mongodb-atlas
# Or passing keys as arguments
npx mcp-mongodb-atlas "your-public-key" "your-private-key"
```
### With Cline (VSCode Extension)
To use with Cline in VSCode, add the server config to your MCP settings file:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"atlas": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-mongodb-atlas"],
"env": {
"ATLAS_PUBLIC_KEY": "your-public-key",
"ATLAS_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-private-key"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
```
The MCP settings file is located at:
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json`
- Linux: `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
### With Cursor
To use with Cursor, go to "Cursor settings" > "MCP" in the settings and add a new server with the following configuration:
1. **Name**: `atlas` (or any name you prefer)
2. **Command**: `npx mcp-mongodb-atlas`
3. **Arguments**: provide your API keys as arguments
```bash
## Suggested Command
npx mcp-mongodb-atlas
```
Newer versions can set the `~/.cursor/mcp.json` file with:
```
{
"mcpServers": {
"atlas": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-mongodb-atlas"],
"env": {
"ATLAS_PUBLIC_KEY": "your-public-key",
"ATLAS_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-private-key"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
```
4. **Environment Variables** (Optional):
- `ATLAS_PUBLIC_KEY`: Your MongoDB Atlas public key
- `ATLAS_PRIVATE_KEY`: Your MongoDB Atlas private key
### With Claude Desktop
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"atlas": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-mongodb-atlas"],
"env": {
"ATLAS_PUBLIC_KEY": "your-public-key",
"ATLAS_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-private-key"
}
}
}
}
```
## API Keys
You need MongoDB Atlas API keys to use this tool. To create API keys:
1. Log in to your MongoDB Atlas account
2. Go to Access Manager > API Keys
3. Create a new API key with the appropriate permissions
4. Save the public and private keys
## Development
Clone the repository and install dependencies:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mongodb-developer/mcp-mongodb-atlas.git
cd mcp-mongodb-atlas
npm install
```
Build the project:
```bash
npm run build
```
For development with auto-rebuild:
```bash
npm run watch
```
### Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector:
```bash
npm run inspector
```
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
