history

Project history and usage

MongoDB CLI, invoked as mongocli, was built by MongoDB as a terminal interface for MongoDB management services. Its repository describes it as a modern command-line interface for managing MongoDB services from the terminal, with simple one-line commands for Ops Manager and Cloud Manager automation.

Project history

The tool's role narrowed after MongoDB separated Atlas administration into the Atlas CLI. MongoDB CLI 2.0.0, released on 2024-03-14, fully deprecated mongocli atlas commands and directed users to migrate Atlas workflows to the Atlas CLI. That leaves mongocli primarily in the Ops Manager and Cloud Manager niche: automation, alerts, backups, clusters, agents, logs, maintenance windows, metrics, processes, and security settings for managed MongoDB deployments outside the dedicated Atlas CLI path.

How it is used

Homebrew and MacPorts package it as a single mongocli executable for administrators and CI jobs that need scripted access to Cloud Manager or Ops Manager without using the web UI.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.

Configuration files

Config paths the tool may read or write during local use.

macOS: /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/mongocli/config.toml
Windows: %AppData%\mongocli\config.toml
