MongoDB Compass

MongoDB Compass is a powerful and intuitive GUI tool designed to simplify database management, query building, and data visualization for MongoDB. It offers a user-friendly alternative to the command-line interface by providing a visual representation of MongoDB data and collections.

Compass is a free interactive tool. With Compass, you can explore databases and collections, view and analyze the data, and perform CRUD operations without writing complex queries manually. Compass provides visualizations for most queries and index performance, allowing database administrators to monitor and troubleshoot clusters seamlessly through a TLS-encrypted connection. It exposes an API that can be used to import or develop plugins. Compass also has the ability to download a read-only edition so that you can limit access to non-destructive operations. There is also an isolated edition of this tool that can be used to restrict connections to a single chosen server.
