Download MongoDB Compass 1.31.0 (Mac) – Download Free

MongoDB Compass is a visual tool that connects to your MongoDB server and offers you the possibility to analyze contained information and create queries without using the command line.

Connect to a MongoDB database with or without authentication details

Right now, MongoDB Compass requires the hostname and port of the MongoDB server you want to access. Additionally, you can use different types of authentication methods, such as username and password, Kerberos, or LDAP.

What’s more, MongoDB Compass gives you the option to add connection details to your favorites list and give them an easily identifiable name. This way, you can use multiple databases at the same time, while avoiding performing the configuration process multiple times.

Analyze MongoDB collections and documents in a user-friendly GUI

Once the connection is established, MongoDB Compass will launch a separate window where you can view details about your MongoDB installation and the collections available on the server.

Just select an included database, and MongoDB Compass will display the number of included documents, their total and average size, and index information. At the same time, you can view all field names and data types contained in the record.

As a result, you can use MongoDB Compass to visualize your database schema and quickly identify possible errors, the frequency of specific fields in your database documents, and the distribution of data for each field (depending on the type).

Build queries for your MongoDB database without relying on the query language

The best part is that you can use all MongoDB Compass data representations to quickly develop queries: just click on the information you’re interested in and the application will automatically generate commands in the appropriate language.

Note that you can create queries with multiple fields, and that MongoDB Compass offers you the possibility to run commands at the touch of a button: the results will appear in the main MongoDB Compass window almost immediately.

Powerful MongoDB schema visualization solution, including query capabilities

In summary, MongoDB Compass scans the database contents and enables users to graphically view the schema of the collection. What’s more, you can view the data type associated with each field and easily browse the visual representation.

At the same time, MongoDB Compass also allows users to create custom query commands, using the mouse to highlight sections or areas of interest: the application automatically generates code, and you can view the results in real time.
