MongoDB

The MongoDB connector lets your workflows interact with any MongoDB instance, including MongoDB Atlas, self-hosted clusters, and single-node deployments.

Editor experience

Fields that take a MongoDB query, update, or aggregation pipeline (filter, update, pipeline, command, documents, projection, sort) render as a JSON editor; paste or type your queries directly without escaping. Misspelled MongoDB operators are flagged inline with a suggestion. Typing $grater_than shows Did you mean $gt?. Aggregation variables ($$ROOT, $$NOW) and the positional update marker ($) are recognised and never flagged.

Connection setup

You can connect using either a connection string (recommended for Atlas) or individual credentials.

Choose your connection method

Option A: Connection String (recommended for MongoDB Atlas):

Copy the connection string from your Atlas dashboard (e.g., mongodb+srv://user:pass@cluster.mongodb.net/mydb)

Option B: Individual credentials (for self-hosted or direct connections):

Host (e.g., localhost or mongo.example.com)
Port (default: 27017)
Username and Password
Database (optional, default database)
Auth Source (optional, authentication database, usually admin)

Add the connection in Spojit

Go to Connections in Spojit, click Add Connection, select MongoDB, and enter either:

Connection String: Your full MongoDB URI, or
Host, Port, Username, Password, Database, and Auth Source fields

MongoDB Atlas: Copy the connection string from your cluster’s Connect dialog. Make sure your IP is in the Atlas network access list.

Common MongoDB settings

Provider	Connection method	Notes
MongoDB Atlas	Connection string (`mongodb+srv://...`)	Add IP to network access list
Self-hosted	Host + credentials	Ensure auth is enabled
