The MongoDB CLI is a modern command line interface that enables you to manage your MongoDB services from the terminal.

Use simple, one-line commands to interact with MongoDB Atlas, Cloud Manager, or Ops Manager, and to automate management tasks for your deployments.

See the official docs for instructions on how to install, set up, and reference available commands.

brew install mongocli

Download the appropriate version for your platform from mongocli releases. Once downloaded, the binary can be run from anywhere. You don't need to install it into a global location. This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don't have a privileged account.

Ideally, you should place this binary somewhere in your PATH for easy use. /usr/local/bin is the most probable location.

• Git
• Go (at least Go 1.17)

git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongocli.git
cd mongocli

To build mongocli, run:

make build

The resulting mongocli binary is placed in ./bin.

To install the mongocli binary in $GOPATH/bin, run:

make install

Note: running make build is not needed when running make install.

Run mongocli help for a list of available commands or check our online documentation for more details.

To use mongocli you'll need to get API keys, to get them follow the documentation appropriate for the service you're using, Atlas, Ops Manager, or Cloud Manager

Run mongocli config to set up your credentials, this is optional, you can use env variables instead.

If you're working with Atlas Gov, Ops Manager or Cloud Manager you need to define the service using --service

For Atlas Gov, mongocli config --service cloudgov.

For Ops Manager, mongocli config --service ops-manager.

For Cloud Manager, mongocli config --service cloud-manager.

If you install via homebrew no additional actions are needed.

To get specific instructions for your preferred shell run:

mongocli completion <bash|zsh|fish|powershell> --help
