MongoDB Skills
Official MongoDB agent skills — schema design, query optimization, Atlas, and MCP setup.
About
MongoDB Skills is the official agent-skills collection from MongoDB (Apache-2.0 licensed), maintained by MongoDB Inc. itself. It covers ~7 skills: mongodb-schema-design (schema heuristics and patterns), mongodb-query-optimizer (indexing and aggregation optimization), mongodb-connection (connection setup and best practices), mongodb-natural-language-querying, mongodb-search-and-ai (Atlas Search and Vector Search), mongodb-atlas-stream-processing, and mongodb-mcp-setup (wiring up the MongoDB MCP server). Install with npx skills add mongodb/agent-skills, then copy the skills/ directory into your agent's skills location.
The honest picture: several skills assume you're using MongoDB Atlas and the MongoDB MCP server, so self-hosted or DocumentDB users get partial value. The skills encode MongoDB's recommended patterns — good defaults, but not a substitute for understanding your own access patterns and data shape. As with all vendor skills, expect coverage to favor MongoDB's newest features (Atlas, vector search) over legacy operational concerns.
What it can do
- Schema design heuristics and patterns

Setup
Run npx skills add mongodb/agent-skills, then copy skills/ into your agent's skills directory (~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code).
Prerequisites
Claude Code or another SKILL.md-compatible agent; Node.js (npx); a MongoDB Atlas cluster for full value.
