-
-## Prerequisites
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Node 20.x support is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please upgrade to Node 22.13 or later. See https://nodejs.org/en/blog/migrations/v20-to-v22 for migration details.
-
-- Node.js
-  - At least v22.13.0. Check with `node -v`.
-
-- A MongoDB connection string or Atlas API credentials.
-  - **_Service Accounts Atlas API credentials_** are required to use the Atlas tools. You can create a service account in MongoDB Atlas and use its credentials for authentication. See [Atlas API Access](#atlas-api-access) for more details.
-  - If you have a MongoDB connection string, you can use it directly to connect to your MongoDB instance.
-
-## Setup
-
-### Quick Start
-
-> **🔒 Security Recommendation 1:** When using Atlas API credentials, be sure to assign only the minimum required permissions to your service account. See [Atlas API Permissions](#atlas-api-permissions) for details.
-
-> **🔒 Security Recommendation 2:** For enhanced security, we strongly recommend using environment variables to pass sensitive configuration such as connection strings and API credentials instead of command line arguments. Command line arguments can be visible in process lists and logged in various system locations, potentially exposing your secrets. Environment variables provide a more secure way to handle sensitive information.
-
-Most MCP clients require a configuration file to be created or modified to add the MCP server.
-
-Note: The configuration file syntax can be different across clients. Please refer to the following links for the latest expected syntax:

-- **Opencode CLI**: https://opencode.ai/docs/mcp-servers
-
-> **Default Safety Notice:** All examples below include `--readOnly` by default to ensure safe, read-only access to your data. Remove `--readOnly` if you need to enable write operations.
-
-#### Option 1: Connection String
-
-You can pass your connection string via environment variables, make sure to use a valid username and password.
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "MongoDB": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "mongodb-mcp-server@latest", "--readOnly"],
-      "env": {
-        "MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING": "mongodb://localhost:27017/myDatabase"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-NOTE: The connection string can be configured to connect to any MongoDB cluster, whether it's a local instance or an Atlas cluster.
-
-#### Option 2: Atlas API Credentials
-
-Use your Atlas API Service Accounts credentials. Must follow all the steps in [Atlas API Access](#atlas-api-access) section.
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "MongoDB": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "mongodb-mcp-server@latest", "--readOnly"],
-      "env": {
-        "MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID": "your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id",
-        "MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### Option 3: Standalone Service using environment variables and command line arguments
-
-You can source environment variables defined in a config file or explicitly set them like we do in the example below and run the server via npx.
-
-```shell
-# Set your credentials as environment variables first
-export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id"
-export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret"
-
-# Then start the server
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --readOnly
-```
-
-> **💡 Platform Note:** The examples above use Unix/Linux/macOS syntax. For Windows users, see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) for platform-specific instructions.
-
-- For a complete list of configuration options see [Configuration Options](#configuration-options)
-- To configure your Atlas Service Accounts credentials please refer to [Atlas API Access](#atlas-api-access)
-- Connection String via environment variables in the MCP file [example](#connection-string-with-environment-variables)
-- Atlas API credentials via environment variables in the MCP file [example](#atlas-api-credentials-with-environment-variables)
-
-#### Option 4: Using Docker
-
-You can run the MongoDB MCP Server in a Docker container, which provides isolation and doesn't require a local Node.js installation.
-
-#### Run with Environment Variables
-
-You may provide either a MongoDB connection string OR Atlas API credentials:
-
-##### Option A: No configuration
-
-```shell
-docker run --rm -i \
-  mongodb/mongodb-mcp-server:latest
-```
-
-##### Option B: With MongoDB connection string
-
-```shell
-# Set your credentials as environment variables first
-export MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING="mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster.mongodb.net/myDatabase"
-
-# Then start the docker container
-docker run --rm -i \
-  -e MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING \
-  -e MDB_MCP_READ_ONLY="true" \
-  mongodb/mongodb-mcp-server:latest
-```
-
-> **💡 Platform Note:** The examples above use Unix/Linux/macOS syntax. For Windows users, see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) for platform-specific instructions.
-
-##### Option C: With Atlas API credentials
-
-```shell
-# Set your credentials as environment variables first
-export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id"
-export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret"
-
-# Then start the docker container
-docker run --rm -i \
-  -e MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID \
-  -e MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET \
-  -e MDB_MCP_READ_ONLY="true" \
-  mongodb/mongodb-mcp-server:latest
-```
-
-> **💡 Platform Note:** The examples above use Unix/Linux/macOS syntax. For Windows users, see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) for platform-specific instructions.
-
-##### Docker in MCP Configuration File
-
-Without options:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "MongoDB": {
-      "command": "docker",
-      "args": [
-        "run",
-        "--rm",
-        "-e",
-        "MDB_MCP_READ_ONLY=true",
-        "-i",
-        "mongodb/mongodb-mcp-server:latest"
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-With connection string:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "MongoDB": {
-      "command": "docker",
-      "args": [
-        "run",
-        "--rm",
-        "-i",
-        "-e",
-        "MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING",
-        "-e",
-        "MDB_MCP_READ_ONLY=true",
-        "mongodb/mongodb-mcp-server:latest"
-      ],
-      "env": {
-        "MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING": "mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster.mongodb.net/myDatabase"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-With Atlas API credentials:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "MongoDB": {
-      "command": "docker",
-      "args": [
-        "run",
-        "--rm",
-        "-i",
-        "-e",
-        "MDB_MCP_READ_ONLY=true",
-        "-e",
-        "MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID",
-        "-e",
-        "MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET",
-        "mongodb/mongodb-mcp-server:latest"
-      ],
-      "env": {
-        "MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID": "your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id",
-        "MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### Option 5: Running as an HTTP Server
-
-> **⚠️ Security Notice:** This server now supports Streamable HTTP transport for remote connections. **HTTP transport is NOT recommended for production use without implementing proper authentication and security measures.**
-
-**Suggested Security Measures Examples:**
-
-- Implement authentication (e.g., API gateway, reverse proxy)
-- Use HTTPS/TLS encryption
-- Deploy behind a firewall or in private networks
-- Implement rate limiting
-- Never expose directly to the internet
-
-For more details, see [MCP Security Best Practices](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports#security-considerations).
-
-You can run the MongoDB MCP Server as an HTTP server instead of the default stdio transport. This is useful if you want to interact with the server over HTTP, for example from a web client or to expose the server on a specific port.
-
-To start the server with HTTP transport, use the `--transport http` option:
-
-```shell
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --transport http
-```
-
-By default, the server will listen on `http://127.0.0.1:3000`. You can customize the host and port using the `--httpHost` and `--httpPort` options:
-
-```shell
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --transport http --httpHost=0.0.0.0 --httpPort=8080
-```
-
-- `--httpHost` (default: 127.0.0.1): The host to bind the HTTP server.
-- `--httpPort` (default: 3000): The port number for the HTTP server.
-
-> **Note:** The default transport is `stdio`, which is suitable for integration with most MCP clients. Use `http` transport if you need to interact with the server over HTTP.
-
-#### Option 6: Copilot CLI
-
-You can use the Copilot CLI to interactively add the MCP server:
-
-```shell
-/mcp add
-```
-
-Alternatively, create or edit the configuration file `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json` and add:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "MongoDB": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "mongodb-mcp-server@latest", "--readOnly"],
-      "env": {
-        "MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING": "mongodb://localhost:27017/myDatabase"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-For more information, see the [Copilot CLI documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/about-copilot-cli).
-
-#### Option 7: OpenCode
-
-Create or edit your OpenCode config file (`~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` or project-specific `./opencode.json`):
-
-```json
-{
-  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
-  "mcp": {
-    "MongoDB": {
-      "type": "local",
-      "command": ["npx", "-y", "mongodb-mcp-server@latest", "--readOnly"],
-      "enabled": true,
-      "environment": {
-        "MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING": "mongodb://localhost:27017/myDatabase"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-For more information about configuring OpenCode as an MCP client, including the expected syntax and options, see the [OpenCode MCP servers documentation](https://opencode.ai/docs/mcp-servers/).
-
-#### Option 8: Connect to the Remote MCP Server
-
-To connect to the hosted MongoDB Atlas Remote MCP server, use the [`mongodb-atlas-mcp-remote`](packages/mongodb-atlas-mcp-remote/README.md) package.
-
-See the [package README](packages/mongodb-atlas-mcp-remote/README.md) for setup and client-specific configuration examples.

-
-#### MongoDB Atlas Tools
-
-- `atlas-connect-cluster` - Connect to MongoDB Atlas cluster and get back a connectionId to pass to the other MongoDB tools. Each call establishes a new, independent connection — multiple connections can be active at the same time.
-- `atlas-create-access-list` - Allow Ip/CIDR ranges to access your MongoDB Atlas clusters.
-- `atlas-create-cluster` - Create a MongoDB Atlas cluster (M10–M80, replica set or single shard). Compute autoscaling is enabled by default: min instance size is set to the selected instance size, max is set two tiers above. Disk autoscaling is always enabled. Encryption at rest with customer-managed keys (CMK) is supported, the CMK provider must already have a valid encryption at rest configuration in the project. The tool returns immediately, use the atlas-inspect-cluster tool to poll the cluster state for readiness (state: IDLE). Connection strings are unavailable until the cluster reaches IDLE state.
-- `atlas-create-db-user` - Create an MongoDB Atlas database user
-- `atlas-create-free-cluster` - Create a free MongoDB Atlas cluster
-- `atlas-create-project` - Create a MongoDB Atlas project
-- `atlas-get-performance-advisor` - Get MongoDB Atlas performance advisor recommendations and suggestions, which includes the operations: suggested indexes, drop index suggestions, schema suggestions, and a sample of the most recent (max 50) slow query logs
-- `atlas-inspect-access-list` - Inspect Ip/CIDR ranges with access to your MongoDB Atlas clusters.
-- `atlas-inspect-cluster` - Inspect metadata of a MongoDB Atlas cluster
-- `atlas-list-alerts` - List triggered alerts for a MongoDB Atlas project. These are alerts Atlas has raised, not the alert configurations that define them. Defaults to OPEN alerts; set status to TRACKING or CLOSED to see others.
-- `atlas-list-clusters` - List MongoDB Atlas clusters
-- `atlas-list-db-users` - List MongoDB Atlas database users
-- `atlas-list-orgs` - List MongoDB Atlas organizations
-- `atlas-list-projects` - List MongoDB Atlas projects.
-- `atlas-load-sample-dataset` - Load a MongoDB sample dataset into an Atlas cluster, or check the status of a previously-initiated load. To start a new load, provide `clusterName` — the load runs asynchronously and the response includes a `jobId` and initial state. To check progress, call this tool again with `jobId` (sample dataset loads typically take 1–5 minutes). State can be WORKING, COMPLETED, or FAILED.
-- `atlas-pause-resume-cluster` - Pause or resume a dedicated (M10+) MongoDB Atlas cluster.
-- `atlas-streams-build` - Create Atlas Stream Processing resources. Use this tool for 'set up a Kafka pipeline', 'create a workspace', 'add a connection', or 'deploy a processor'. Use resource='workspace' to create a new workspace (specify cloud provider, region, and tier). Use resource='connection' to add a data source or sink to an existing workspace. Use resource='processor' to deploy a stream processor with a pipeline. Use resource='privatelink' to set up private networking. Typical workflow: create workspace → add connections → deploy processor.
-- `atlas-streams-discover` - Discover and inspect Atlas Stream Processing resources. Also use for 'why is my processor failing', 'what workspaces do I have', 'show processor stats', or 'check processor health'. Use 'list-workspaces' to see all workspaces in a project. Use inspect actions for details on a specific resource. Use 'diagnose-processor' for a combined health report including state, stats, connection health, and recent errors. Use 'get-networking' for PrivateLink and account details.
-- `atlas-streams-manage` - Manage Atlas Stream Processing resources: start/stop processors, modify pipelines, update configurations. Also use for 'change the pipeline', 'scale up my processor', or 'update my workspace tier'. Common workflow: action='stop-processor' → action='modify-processor' → action='start-processor'. Use `atlas-streams-discover` with action 'inspect-processor' to check state before managing.
-- `atlas-streams-teardown` - Delete Atlas Stream Processing resources. Also use for 'remove my workspace', 'disconnect a source', 'delete all processors', or 'clean up my streams environment'. Performs basic safety checks before deletion: summarizes counts of processors and connections, highlights connections referenced by processors where possible, and surfaces API errors if processors are still running when deletion is attempted. Use `atlas-streams-discover` to review resources before deleting.
-- `atlas-upgrade-cluster` - Upgrade a MongoDB Atlas cluster tier. Upgrades Free (M0) clusters to Flex or M10 Dedicated, or Flex clusters to M10 Dedicated. The upgrade path is determined automatically from the current tier unless overridden with targetTier. Note to LLM: If provider and region are not already known, ask for both together in a single question before calling this tool. Common region mappings by provider (default recommendation: AWS US_EAST_1):
-  AWS: "East Coast"/"Virginia"/"US East" → US_EAST_1, "Ohio" → US_EAST_2, "California"/"West Coast" → US_WEST_2, "Southeast Asia"/"APAC"/"Singapore" → AP_SOUTHEAST_1, "Europe"/"EU"/"Ireland" → EU_WEST_1.
-  GCP: "Central US" → CENTRAL_US, "Western US" → WESTERN_US, "Southeast Asia"/"APAC" → SOUTHEASTERN_ASIA_PACIFIC, "Europe"/"EU" → WESTERN_EUROPE.
-  AZURE: "East US" → US_EAST_2, "West US" → US_WEST_2, "Europe"/"EU" → EUROPE_NORTH.

-#### MongoDB Atlas Local Tools
-
-- `atlas-local-connect-deployment` - Connect to a MongoDB Atlas Local deployment and get back a connectionId to pass to the other MongoDB tools
-- `atlas-local-create-deployment` - Create a MongoDB Atlas local deployment. Default image is preview. When the user does not specify an image tag, inform them that preview is used by default and provide this link for more information: https://hub.docker.com/r/mongodb/mongodb-atlas-local
-- `atlas-local-delete-deployment` - Delete a MongoDB Atlas local deployment
-- `atlas-local-list-deployments` - List MongoDB Atlas local deployments
-
-#### MongoDB Assistant Tools
-
-- `list-knowledge-sources` - List available data sources in the MongoDB Assistant knowledge base. Use this to explore available data sources or to find search filter parameters to use in search-knowledge.
-- `search-knowledge` - Search for information in the MongoDB Assistant knowledge base. This includes official documentation, curated expert guidance, and other resources provided by MongoDB. Supports filtering by data source and version.
-
-## 📄 Supported Resources
-
-- `config` - Server configuration, supplied by the user either as environment variables or as startup arguments with sensitive parameters redacted. The resource can be accessed under URI `config://config`.
-- `debug` - Debugging information for MongoDB connectivity issues. Tracks the last connectivity attempt and error information. The resource can be accessed under URI `debug://mongodb`.
-- `exported-data` - A resource template to access the data exported using the export tool. The template can be accessed under URI `exported-data://{exportName}` where `exportName` is the unique name for an export generated by the export tool.
-
-## Configuration
-
-> **🔒 Security Best Practice:** We strongly recommend using environment variables for sensitive configuration such as API credentials (`MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID`, `MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET`) and connection strings (`MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING`) instead of command-line arguments. Environment variables are not visible in process lists and provide better security for your sensitive data.
-
-The MongoDB MCP Server can be configured using multiple methods, with the following precedence (highest to lowest):
-
-1. Command-line arguments
-2. Environment variables
-3. Configuration File

-
-#### Logger Options
-
-The `loggers` configuration option controls where logs are sent. You can specify one or more logger types as a comma-separated list. The available options are:
-
-- `mcp`: Sends logs to the MCP client (if supported by the client/transport).
-- `disk`: Writes logs to disk files. Log files are stored in the log path (see `logPath` above).
-- `stderr`: Outputs logs to standard error (stderr), useful for debugging or when running in containers.
-
-**Default:** `disk,mcp` (logs are written to disk and sent to the MCP client).
-
-You can combine multiple loggers, e.g. `--loggers disk stderr` or `export MDB_MCP_LOGGERS="mcp,stderr"`.
-
-##### Example: Set logger via environment variable
-
-```shell
-export MDB_MCP_LOGGERS="disk,stderr"
-```
-
-> **💡 Platform Note:** For Windows users, see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) for platform-specific instructions.
-
-##### Example: Set logger via command-line argument
-
-```shell
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --loggers mcp stderr
-```
-
-##### Log File Location
-
-When using the `disk` logger, log files are stored in:
-
-- **Windows:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\mongodb\mongodb-mcp\.app-logs`
-- **macOS/Linux:** `~/.mongodb/mongodb-mcp/.app-logs`
-
-You can override the log directory with the `logPath` option.
-
-> **🔒 Security Guideline:** The user account running the MCP server must have both read and write permissions to the `logPath` directory. Ensure this directory is properly secured with appropriate file system permissions to prevent unauthorized access to log files.
-
-#### Disabled Tools
-
-You can disable specific tools or categories of tools by using the `disabledTools` option. This option accepts an array of strings,
-where each string can be a tool name, operation type, or category.
-
-The way the array is constructed depends on the type of configuration method you use:
-
-- For **environment variable** configuration, use a comma-separated string: `export MDB_MCP_DISABLED_TOOLS="create,update,delete,atlas,collectionSchema"`.
-- For **command-line argument** configuration, use a space-separated string: `--disabledTools create update delete atlas collectionSchema`.
-
-Categories of tools:
-
-- `atlas` - MongoDB Atlas tools, such as list clusters, create cluster, etc.
-- `mongodb` - MongoDB database tools, such as find, aggregate, etc.
-
-Operation types:
-
-- `create` - Tools that create resources, such as create cluster, insert document, etc.
-- `update` - Tools that update resources, such as update document, rename collection, etc.
-- `delete` - Tools that delete resources, such as delete document, drop collection, etc.
-- `read` - Tools that read resources, such as find, aggregate, list clusters, etc.
-- `metadata` - Tools that read metadata, such as list databases/collections/indexes, infer collection schema, etc.
-- `connect` - Tools that allow you to connect or switch the connection to a MongoDB instance. If this is disabled, you will need to provide a connection string through the config when starting the server.
-
-#### Require Confirmation
-
-If your client supports [elicitation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/client/elicitation), you can set the MongoDB MCP server to request user confirmation before executing certain tools.
-
-When a tool is marked as requiring confirmation, the server will send an elicitation request to the client. The client with elicitation support will then prompt the user for confirmation and send the response back to the server. If the client does not support elicitation, the tool will execute without confirmation.
-
-You can set the `confirmationRequiredTools` configuration option to specify the names of tools which require confirmation. By default, the following tools have this setting enabled: `drop-database`, `drop-collection`, `delete-many`, `drop-index`, `atlas-create-db-user`, `atlas-create-access-list`, `atlas-streams-manage`, `atlas-streams-teardown`.
-
-In addition, the `aggregate` and `aggregate-db` tools always request confirmation before running a pipeline that contains a `$out` or `$merge` stage, regardless of whether they appear in `confirmationRequiredTools`. Those stages write to a collection — `$out` replaces its contents entirely — so this confirmation names the affected collection and what will happen to it. Pipelines without a write stage are not confirmed.
-
-Adding either tool to `confirmationRequiredTools` is broader: every call is then confirmed up front with the standard tool-level message, and a write stage does not raise a second prompt.
-
-#### Read-Only Mode
-
-The `readOnly` configuration option allows you to restrict the MCP server to only use tools with "read", "connect", and "metadata" operation types. When enabled, all tools that have "create", "update" or "delete" operation types will not be registered with the server.
-
-This is useful for scenarios where you want to provide access to MongoDB data for analysis without allowing any modifications to the data or infrastructure.
-
-You can enable read-only mode using:
-
-- **Environment variable**: `export MDB_MCP_READ_ONLY=true`
-- **Command-line argument**: `--readOnly`
-
-> **💡 Platform Note:** For Windows users, see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) for platform-specific instructions.
-
-When read-only mode is active, you'll see a message in the server logs indicating which tools were prevented from registering due to this restriction.
-
-#### Index Check Mode
-
-The `indexCheck` configuration option allows you to enforce that query operations must use an index. When enabled, queries that perform a collection scan will be rejected to ensure better performance.
-
-This is useful for scenarios where you want to ensure that database queries are optimized.
-
-You can enable index check mode using:
-
-- **Environment variable**: `export MDB_MCP_INDEX_CHECK=true`
-- **Command-line argument**: `--indexCheck`
-
-> **💡 Platform Note:** For Windows users, see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) for platform-specific instructions.
-
-When index check mode is active, you'll see an error message if a query is rejected due to not using an index.
-
-#### Exports
-
-The data exported by the `export` tool is temporarily stored in the configured `exportsPath` on the machine running the MCP server until cleaned up by the export cleanup process. If the `exportsPath` configuration is not provided, the following defaults are used:
-
-- **Windows:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\mongodb\mongodb-mcp\exports`
-- **macOS/Linux:** `~/.mongodb/mongodb-mcp/exports`
-
-The `exportTimeoutMs` configuration controls the time after which the exported data is considered expired and eligible for cleanup. By default, exports expire after 5 minutes (300000ms).
-
-The `exportCleanupIntervalMs` configuration controls how frequently the cleanup process runs to remove expired export files. By default, cleanup runs every 2 minutes (120000ms).
-
-> **🔒 Security Guideline:** The user account running the MCP server must have both read and write permissions to the `exportsPath` directory. Ensure this directory is properly secured with appropriate file system permissions to prevent unauthorized access to exported data files, which may contain sensitive MongoDB data. Consider the sensitivity of your data when choosing the export location and apply restrictive permissions accordingly.
-
-#### Telemetry
-
-The `telemetry` configuration option allows you to disable telemetry collection. When enabled, the MCP server will collect usage data and send it to MongoDB.
-
-You can disable telemetry using:
-
-- **Environment variable**: `export MDB_MCP_TELEMETRY=disabled`
-- **Command-line argument**: `--telemetry disabled`
-- **DO_NOT_TRACK environment variable**: `export DO_NOT_TRACK=1`
-
-> **💡 Platform Note:** For Windows users, see [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) for platform-specific instructions.
-
-#### Opting into Preview Features
-
-The MongoDB MCP Server may offer functionality that is still in development and may change in future releases. These features are considered "preview features" and are not enabled by default. Generally, these features are well tested, but may not offer the complete functionality we intend to provide in the final release or we'd like to gather feedback before making them generally available. To enable one or more preview features, use the `previewFeatures` configuration option.
-
-- For **environment variable** configuration, use a comma-separated string: `export MDB_MCP_PREVIEW_FEATURES="feature1,feature2"`.
-- For **command-line argument** configuration, use a space-separated string: `--previewFeatures feature1 feature2`.
-
-List of available preview features:
-
-- `mcpUI` - Enables an optional web-based UI for interacting with the MCP server.
-
-#### Monitoring Server (Health Check & Metrics)
-
-When running with `--transport http`, you can expose a separate monitoring HTTP server for health checks and metrics. This server is only started when both `monitoringServerHost` and `monitoringServerPort` are set, and it listens on its own host/port (independent from the main `httpHost`/`httpPort`).
-
-The features exposed are controlled by `monitoringServerFeatures` (default: `health-check`). Available features and their endpoints:
-
-| Feature        | Endpoint   | Description                                                                                 |
-| -------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `health-check` | `/health`  | Returns `200 OK` with a JSON body describing the server status. Useful for liveness probes. |
-| `metrics`      | `/metrics` | Returns server metrics in Prometheus text format.                                           |
-
-The `/health` response is sent with `Cache-Control: no-store` and has the following shape (`status` is always `"ok"` while the process is alive):
-
-```json
-{
-  "status": "ok",
-  "version": "1.13.0",
-  "uptimeSeconds": 42,
-  "timestamp": "2026-06-20T12:00:00.000Z"
-}
-```
-
-Example: start the server with the monitoring server enabled and call the health-check endpoint:
-
-```shell
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --transport http --httpHost 0.0.0.0 --httpPort 3000 --monitoringServerHost 0.0.0.0 --monitoringServerPort 8080 &
-curl http://0.0.0.0:8080/health
-# => {"status":"ok","version":"1.13.0","uptimeSeconds":42,"timestamp":"2026-06-20T12:00:00.000Z"}
-```
-
-To expose both endpoints, pass the features explicitly:
-
-```shell
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --transport http --monitoringServerHost 0.0.0.0 --monitoringServerPort 8080 --monitoringServerFeatures health-check,metrics
-```
-
-> **💡 Note:** `healthCheckHost` / `healthCheckPort` are deprecated aliases for `monitoringServerHost` / `monitoringServerPort` and continue to serve the same `/health` endpoint.
-
-### Atlas API Access
-
-To use the Atlas API tools, you'll need to create a service account in MongoDB Atlas:
-
-> **ℹ️ Note:** For a detailed breakdown of the minimum required permissions for each Atlas operation, see the [Atlas API Permissions](#atlas-api-permissions) section below.
-
-1. **Create a Service Account:**
-   - Log in to MongoDB Atlas at [cloud.mongodb.com](https://cloud.mongodb.com)
-   - Navigate to Access Manager > Organization Access
-   - Click Add New > Applications > Service Accounts
-   - Enter name, description and expiration for your service account (e.g., "MCP, MCP Server Access, 7 days")
-   - **Assign only the minimum permissions needed for your use case.**
-     - See [Atlas API Permissions](#atlas-api-permissions) for details.
-   - Click "Create"
-
-To learn more about Service Accounts, check the [MongoDB Atlas documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/api/service-accounts-overview/).
-
-2. **Save Client Credentials:**
-   - After creation, you'll be shown the Client ID and Client Secret
-   - **Important:** Copy and save the Client Secret immediately as it won't be displayed again
-
-3. **Add Access List Entry:**
-   - Add your IP address to the API access list
-
-4. **Configure the MCP Server:**
-   - Use one of the configuration methods below to set your `apiClientId` and `apiClientSecret`
-
-### Atlas API Permissions
-
-> **Security Warning:** Granting the Organization Owner role is rarely necessary and can be a security risk. Assign only the minimum permissions needed for your use case.
-
-#### Quick Reference: Required roles per operation
-
-| What you want to do                  | Safest Role to Assign (where)             |
-| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
-| List orgs/projects                   | Org Member or Org Read Only (Org)         |
-| Create new projects                  | Org Project Creator (Org)                 |
-| View clusters/databases in a project | Project Read Only (Project)               |
-| Create/manage clusters in a project  | Project Cluster Manager (Project)         |
-| Manage project access lists          | Project IP Access List Admin (Project)    |
-| Manage database users                | Project Database Access Admin (Project)   |
-| Manage stream processing resources   | Project Stream Processing Owner (Project) |
-
-- **Prefer project-level roles** for most operations. Assign only to the specific projects you need to manage or view.
-- **Avoid Organization Owner** unless you require full administrative control over all projects and settings in the organization.
-
-For a full list of roles and their privileges, see the [Atlas User Roles documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/user-roles/#service-user-roles).
-
-### Configuration Methods
-
-#### Configuration File
-
-Store configuration in a JSON file and load it using the `MDB_MCP_CONFIG` environment variable.
-
-> **🔒 Security Best Practice:** Prefer using the `MDB_MCP_CONFIG` environment variable for sensitive fields over the configuration file or `--config` CLI argument. Command-line arguments are visible in process listings.
-
-> **🔒 File Security:** Ensure your configuration file has proper ownership and permissions, limited to the user running the MongoDB MCP server:
->
-> **Linux/macOS:**
->
-> ```bash
-> chmod 600 /path/to/config.json
-> chown your-username /path/to/config.json
-> ```
->
-> **Windows:** Right-click the file → Properties → Security → Restrict access to your user account only.
-
-Create a JSON file with your configuration (all keys use camelCase):
-
-```json
-{
-  "connectionString": "mongodb://localhost:27017",
-  "readOnly": true,
-  "loggers": ["stderr", "mcp"],
-  "apiClientId": "your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id",
-  "apiClientSecret": "your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret",
-  "maxDocumentsPerQuery": 100
-}
-```
-
-**Linux/macOS (bash/zsh):**
-
-```bash
-export MDB_MCP_CONFIG="/path/to/config.json"
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest
-```
-
-**Windows Command Prompt (cmd):**
-
-```cmd
-set "MDB_MCP_CONFIG=C:\path\to\config.json"
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest
-```
-
-**Windows PowerShell:**
-
-```powershell
-$env:MDB_MCP_CONFIG="C:\path\to\config.json"
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest
-```
-
-#### Environment Variables
-
-Set environment variables with the prefix `MDB_MCP_` followed by the option name in uppercase with underscores:
-
-**Linux/macOS (bash/zsh):**
-
-```bash
-# Set Atlas API credentials (via Service Accounts)
-export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id"
-export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret"
-
-# Set a custom MongoDB connection string
-export MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING="mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster.mongodb.net/myDatabase"
-
-# Set log path
-export MDB_MCP_LOG_PATH="/path/to/logs"
-```
-
-**Windows Command Prompt (cmd):**
-
-```cmd
-set "MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID=your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id"
-set "MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET=your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret"
-
-set "MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING=mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster.mongodb.net/myDatabase"
-
-set "MDB_MCP_LOG_PATH=C:\path\to\logs"
-```
-
-**Windows PowerShell:**
-
-```powershell
-# Set Atlas API credentials (via Service Accounts)
-$env:MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id"
-$env:MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret"
-
-# Set a custom MongoDB connection string
-$env:MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING="mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster.mongodb.net/myDatabase"
-
-# Set log path
-$env:MDB_MCP_LOG_PATH="C:\path\to\logs"
-```

-
-#### Command-Line Arguments
-
-Pass configuration options as command-line arguments when starting the server:
-
-> **🔒 Security Note:** For sensitive configuration like API credentials and connection strings, use environment variables instead of command-line arguments.
-
-```shell
-# Set sensitive data as environment variable
-export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_ID="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-id"
-export MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRET="your-atlas-service-accounts-client-secret"
-export MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRING="mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster.mongodb.net/myDatabase"
-
-# Start the server with command line arguments
-npx -y mongodb-mcp-server@latest --logPath=/path/to/logs --readOnly --indexCheck
-```
-

-### Proxy Support
-
-The MCP Server detects standard proxy environment variables and uses them for supported
-outbound connections, including the Atlas Administration API, MongoDB cluster connections,
-OIDC identity providers, and the MongoDB Assistant. The behaviour matches `mongosh`
-(both rely on [`@mongodb-js/devtools-proxy-support`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mongodb-js/devtools-proxy-support)),
-so any proxy configuration that works with `mongosh` also works here.
-
-#### Environment variables
-
-Set the relevant variable before starting the server. The conventional `*_PROXY`
-variables are honored:
-
-| Variable      | Purpose                                                     |
-| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `HTTPS_PROXY` | Proxy used for HTTPS requests (Atlas API, OIDC, Assistant)  |
-| `HTTP_PROXY`  | Proxy used for plain HTTP requests                          |
-| `ALL_PROXY`   | Fallback proxy used for all protocols                       |
-| `NO_PROXY`    | Comma-separated list of hosts/domains that bypass the proxy |
-
-```shell
-# Route outbound traffic through a corporate proxy, except internal hosts
-export HTTPS_PROXY="http://proxy.example.com:8080"
-export NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,*.internal.example.com"
-```
-
-#### Proxy in the connection string
-
-For the MongoDB cluster connection specifically, you can configure a SOCKS5 proxy
-directly in the connection string instead of using environment variables:
-
-```
-mongodb+srv://<host>/?proxyHost=127.0.0.1&proxyPort=1080&proxyUsername=user&proxyPassword=pass
-```
-
-Supported parameters: `proxyHost`, `proxyPort`, `proxyUsername`, `proxyPassword`.
-
-#### Certificate authorities
-
-For the HTTP(S) requests handled by `@mongodb-js/devtools-proxy-support` (the Atlas API,
-OIDC, and the MongoDB Assistant), the operating system's certificate store is trusted in
-addition to the bundled CAs — the same way `mongosh` does — so corporate root certificates
-installed at the OS level are picked up automatically.
