## About

The official MongoDB server connects your AI tool to a database or an Atlas cluster. It can list collections, read schemas and indexes, run queries and aggregations, and help you design better queries.

Start with the --readOnly flag so the AI can look but not change anything. Use a connection string for a development database, not production, until you trust the setup.
