MongoDB Database

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact with various databases through natural language. Currently supports MongoDB, with plans to support:

• PostgreSQL
• CockroachDB
• Redis
• And more...

Features

• Database operations through natural language
• Currently supports MongoDB with features:
  • List all collections
  • Query documents with filtering and projection
  • Insert documents
  • Delete documents
  • Aggregate pipeline operations
• Future support for other databases:
  • PostgreSQL: SQL queries, table operations
  • CockroachDB: Distributed SQL operations
  • Redis: Key-value operations, caching

Prerequisites

• Node.js v20.12.2 or higher
• Database (currently MongoDB, other databases coming soon)
• Claude Desktop Application

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/manpreet2000/mcp-database-server.git
cd mcp-database-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Build the TypeScript code:

npm run build

Configuration

To get started, you need to configure your database connection in your Claude Desktop configuration file:

MacOS

~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "database": {
      "command": "/path/to/node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-database/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "MONGODB_URI": "your-mongodb-connection-string"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace:

• /path/to/node with your Node.js executable path or just use node
• /path/to/mcp-database with the absolute path to this repository
• your-mongodb-connection-string with your MongoDB connection URL

Usage Examples

MongoDB Examples

1. List all collections in your database:

Can you show me all the collections in my database?

2. Get specific records from a collection:

Give me 2 records from the chargers collection

3. Query with filters:

Show me all documents in the users collection where status is active

4. Insert a document:

Add a new user to the users collection with name John and email [email protected]

5. Delete a document:

Remove the user with email [email protected] from the users collection

6. Aggregate data:

Show me the total count of users by status in the users collection

Available Tools

1. getCollections

Lists all collections in the connected database.

2. getCollection

Retrieves documents from a collection with optional query parameters:

• collectionName: Name of the collection
• limit: Maximum number of documents to return (default: 10, max: 1000)
• query: MongoDB query object
• projection: Fields to include/exclude

3. insertOne

Inserts a single document into a collection:

• collectionName: Name of the collection
• document: Document object to insert

4. deleteOne

Deletes a single document from a collection:

• collectionName: Name of the collection
• query: Query to match the document to delete

5. aggregate

Executes an aggregation pipeline:

• collectionName: Name of the collection
• pipeline: Array of aggregation stages
• options: Optional aggregation options

Future Database Support

PostgreSQL

• SQL query execution
• Table operations
• Schema management
• Transaction support

CockroachDB

• Distributed SQL operations
• Multi-region support
• Transaction management
• Schema operations

Redis

• Key-value operations
• Caching mechanisms
• Pub/sub operations
• Data structure operations

Security

• Never commit your database connection strings to version control
• Use environment variables for sensitive information
• Follow database-specific security best practices
