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.
