You’ll need

• MDB_MCP_ALLOW_REQUEST_OVERRIDESOptionalWhen set to true, allows configuration values to be overridden via request headers and query parameters.
• MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_IDOptionalSecretAtlas API client ID for authentication. Required for running Atlas tools.
• MDB_MCP_API_CLIENT_SECRETOptionalSecretAtlas API client secret for authentication. Required for running Atlas tools.
• MDB_MCP_ASSISTANT_BASE_URLOptionalBase URL for the MongoDB Assistant API.
• MDB_MCP_ATLAS_TEMPORARY_DATABASE_USER_LIFETIME_MSOptionalTime in milliseconds that temporary database users created when connecting to MongoDB Atlas clusters will remain active before being automatically deleted.
• MDB_MCP_CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED_TOOLSOptionalComma separated values of tool names that require user confirmation before execution. Requires the client to support elicitation.
• MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_SCOPEOptionalVisibility scope for MongoDB connections created at runtime. With 'session' (the default), each MCP session only sees the connections it created (plus the shared 'preconfigured' one) and they are closed when the session ends — recommended when the HTTP transport is exposed to multiple clients without authentication. With 'global', connections are shared across all sessions and survive session rotation.
• MDB_MCP_CONNECTION_STRINGOptionalSecretMongoDB connection string for direct database connections. Optional, if not set, you'll need to call the connect tool before interacting with MongoDB data.
• MDB_MCP_DISABLE_SERVER_SIDE_JSOptionalWhen set to true, disallows the use of server-side JavaScript operators (such as $where, $function, and $accumulator) in query filters and aggregation pipelines.
• MDB_MCP_DISABLED_TOOLSOptionalComma separated values of tool names, operation types, and/or categories of tools that will be disabled.
• MDB_MCP_DRY_RUNOptionalWhen true, runs the server in dry mode: dumps configuration and enabled tools, then exits without starting the server.
• MDB_MCP_ELICITATION_TIMEOUT_MSOptionalTime in milliseconds the user has to respond to an elicitation request (such as a tool confirmation prompt) before it fails.
• MDB_MCP_EXPORT_CLEANUP_INTERVAL_MSOptionalTime in milliseconds between export cleanup cycles that remove expired export files.
• MDB_MCP_EXPORT_TIMEOUT_MSOptionalTime in milliseconds after which an export is considered expired and eligible for cleanup.
• MDB_MCP_EXPORTS_PATHOptionalFolder to store exported data files.
• MDB_MCP_EXTERNALLY_MANAGED_SESSIONSOptionalWhen true, the HTTP transport allows requests with a session ID supplied externally through the 'mcp-session-id' header. When an external ID is supplied, the initialization request is optional.
• MDB_MCP_HEALTH_CHECK_HOSTOptionalDeprecated. Use `monitoringServerHost` instead. Host address to bind the healthCheck HTTP server to (only used when transport is 'http'). If provided, `healthCheckPort` must also be set.
• MDB_MCP_HEALTH_CHECK_PORTOptionalDeprecated. Use `monitoringServerPort` instead. Port number for the healthCheck HTTP server (only used when transport is 'http'). If provided, `healthCheckHost` must also be set.
• MDB_MCP_HTTP_BODY_LIMITOptionalMaximum size of the HTTP request body in bytes (only used when transport is 'http'). This value is passed as the optional limit parameter to the Express.js json() middleware.
• MDB_MCP_HTTP_HEADERSOptionalHeader that the HTTP server will validate when making requests (only used when transport is 'http').
• MDB_MCP_HTTP_HOSTOptionalHost address to bind the HTTP server to (only used when transport is 'http').
• MDB_MCP_HTTP_PORTOptionalPort number for the HTTP server (only used when transport is 'http'). Use 0 for a random port.
• MDB_MCP_HTTP_RESPONSE_TYPEOptionalThe HTTP response type for tool responses: 'sse' for Server-Sent Events, 'json' for standard JSON responses.
• MDB_MCP_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MSOptionalIdle timeout for a client to disconnect (only applies to http transport).
• MDB_MCP_INDEX_CHECKOptionalWhen set to true, enforces that query operations must use an index, rejecting queries that perform a collection scan.
• MDB_MCP_LOG_PATHOptionalFolder to store logs.
• MDB_MCP_LOGGERSOptionalComma separated values of logger types.
• MDB_MCP_MAX_ACTIVE_CONNECTIONSOptionalMaximum number of MongoDB connections a single scope (an MCP session by default, see connectionScope) can hold open. When exceeded, the scope's least-recently-used connection is closed and its connectionId revoked. The preconfigured connection does not count towards the limit.
• MDB_MCP_MAX_BYTES_PER_QUERYOptionalThe maximum size in bytes for results from a find or aggregate tool call. This serves as an upper bound for the responseBytesLimit parameter in those tools.
• MDB_MCP_MAX_DOCUMENTS_PER_QUERYOptionalThe maximum number of documents that can be returned by a find or aggregate tool call. For the find tool, the effective limit will be the smaller of this value and the tool's limit parameter.
• MDB_MCP_MAX_SESSIONSOptionalMaximum number of concurrent sessions the HTTP transport will hold in memory (only used when transport is 'http'). Each session holds a full server instance, transport, and timers, so choose a value based on your deployment's available memory; the default is a conservative safety net rather than a recommended production value.
• MDB_MCP_MAX_TIME_M_SOptionalThe maximum time in milliseconds that operations are allowed to run on the MongoDB server. When set, this value is passed as the maxTimeMS option to read operations such as find, aggregate, and count.
• MDB_MCP_MCP_CLIENT_LOG_LEVELOptionalMinimum severity level for log messages forwarded to the MCP client.
• MDB_MCP_MONITORING_SERVER_FEATURESOptionalFeatures to expose on the monitoring server (only used when transport is 'http' and monitoringServerHost/monitoringServerPort are set).
• MDB_MCP_MONITORING_SERVER_HOSTOptionalHost address to bind the monitoring HTTP server to (only used when transport is 'http'). If provided, `monitoringServerPort` must also be set.
• MDB_MCP_MONITORING_SERVER_PORTOptionalPort number for the monitoring HTTP server (only used when transport is 'http'). If provided, `monitoringServerHost` must also be set.
• MDB_MCP_NOTIFICATION_TIMEOUT_MSOptionalNotification timeout for a client to be aware of disconnect (only applies to http transport).
• MDB_MCP_PREVIEW_FEATURESOptionalComma separated values of preview features that are enabled.
• MDB_MCP_READ_ONLYOptionalWhen set to true, only allows read, connect, and metadata operation types, disabling create/update/delete operations.
• MDB_MCP_TELEMETRYOptionalWhen set to disabled, disables telemetry collection.
• MDB_MCP_TRANSPORTOptionalEither 'stdio' or 'http'.
• MDB_MCP_VOYAGE_API_KEYOptionalSecretAPI key for Voyage AI embeddings service (required for creating Atlas Local deployments with auto-embed vector search capabilities).
