How to connect

Your client starts the npm package with npx, which needs Node.js. Some servers also need an API key or arguments; the repository's README says which.

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport stdio mongodb -- npx -y mongodb-mcp-server

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mongodb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mongodb-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.mongodb]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mongodb-mcp-server"]
