What does MongoDB Atlas do?

MongoDB Atlas is a Claude connector that lets Claude query your MongoDB data and manage Atlas. Claude can run finds, aggregations and counts, insert, update or delete documents, inspect schemas and indexes, and create collections and indexes. On the Atlas side it creates and upgrades clusters, pauses or resumes them, manages database users and IP access lists, and lists alerts. It reads Performance Advisor suggestions, manages Stream Processing workspaces and searches MongoDB's docs. The page lists 41 tools.
