MongoDB MCP Server
Spec Support Unverified Confidence: Good (0.85)MongoDB MCP Server is an MCP server published by MongoDB; its MCP spec-revision support has not been verified yet. It is the first-party server from MongoDB. Last verified 2026-08-07.
Does MongoDB MCP Server support the current MCP specification (2026-07-28)?
Undetermined. We have not verified which MCP specification revision MongoDB MCP Server supports (as of 2026-08-07).
Is MongoDB MCP Server a first-party (official) MCP server?
Yes. MongoDB MCP Server is the first-party MCP server published by MongoDB (last verified 2026-08-07).
How do I connect to MongoDB MCP Server?
MongoDB MCP Server is available via the package npm:mongodb-mcp-server, the official MCP Registry under io.github.mongodb-js/mongodb-mcp-server, the source repository at https://github.com/mongodb-js/mongodb-mcp-server. Authentication: none. Transports: stdio.
When were MongoDB MCP Server's facts last verified?
2026-08-07. Each fact on this page links to the sources used to verify it.
Which MCP concepts apply to MongoDB MCP Server?
- Stateless core - The 2026-07-28 revision's redesign of MCP from a bidirectional stateful protocol into a request/response stateless one: the initialize handshake and protocol-level session are removed, every request carries its protocol version, client identity, and capabilities in _meta, and any request can land on any server instance behind a plain load balancer.
The MongoDB MCP Server is MongoDB's first-party server for working with
MongoDB databases and Atlas clusters. It runs locally over stdio via
npx mongodb-mcp-server@latest or the mongodb/mongodb-mcp-server
Docker image; a self-hosted HTTP mode exists behind --transport http,
which the README itself warns is "NOT recommended for production use
without implementing proper authentication". There is no vendor-hosted
remote endpoint. Credentials are upstream: a MongoDB connection string,
or Atlas service-account keys for the cloud-management tools.
Version 2.0.0, released 2026-08-04, is the breaking release covered in our news: it removed session state, and database operations now require an explicit connection id returned by the connect tools. A 2.0.1-alpha line was iterating within days, continuing the connection-management overhaul. The official MCP Registry record still describes 1.14.0 from July.
No surface names a supported MCP specification revision; the
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.29.0 dependency is not evidence of revision
support. spec_status is therefore unknown.
How widely adopted is MongoDB MCP Server?
Ranked #14 in The MCP 500 with Adoption Index 83.19 (snapshot , methodology v1).
