Configuration

MCP server environment variables

The MongoDB MCP server requires authentication. Set one of the following:

Option A - Connection string (direct MongoDB connection):

export MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING="mongodb+srv://user:password@cluster.mongodb.net/"

Option B - API credentials (MongoDB Atlas Admin API):

export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"

Add these to your shell profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or equivalent) so they are available when your IDE starts. For a complete list of configuration options, see the MongoDB MCP server documentation.
