Paste a URI. Or use the form.
Connection strings and form fields stay in sync. Use mongodb:// or mongodb+srv:// for direct connections, with SCRAM and TLS options.
Connections & SSH
Your databases, together.

Behind SSH
A built-in path to private data.
Credentials in KeychainReach private deployments.
Use a built-in SSH tunnel with a password or private key. Review the server’s host-key fingerprint before trusting a new SSH server.
Make environments unmistakable.
Organize connections with folders and colors. Production writes always require confirmation; read-only connections refuse writes from both people and agents.

A few practical details
Good to know.
Before you begin.
Where are passwords stored?
Passwords and SSH key passphrases live in macOS Keychain, separate from the saved connection metadata.
Can I use every SSH configuration option?
The built-in tunnel supports password or key authentication and selected host settings from a chosen SSH config file. ssh-agent, ProxyJump, ProxyCommand, and SRV URIs through a tunnel are not supported in the Mac App Store build.
