MongoDB

MongoDB is a document database for storing JSON-like data. Connecting it lets DinoAI explore your MongoDB instance and use it as context while you model and analyse your data.

​

What you can do

Once connected, DinoAI can explore your MongoDB instance on your behalf using the MongoDB Tools:

• List the databases and collections in the connected instance.
• Infer a collection’s schema by sampling documents, and detect schema drift.
• Run read-only find, count, and aggregation queries to understand your data.
• Inspect collection indexes and database storage statistics.

​

Prerequisites

• A running MongoDB instance (self-hosted or MongoDB Atlas) reachable from Paradime.
• A MongoDB user with read access to the databases you want DinoAI to explore.
• Your MongoDB connection string.

​

Connect MongoDB to Paradime

Paradime connects to MongoDB through the MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING environment variable. Once it is set, the MongoDB Tools become available to DinoAI automatically.

​

Step 1: Get your connection string

Use a standard MongoDB connection URI, including credentials:

• Standard: mongodb://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/
• Atlas / SRV: mongodb+srv://<user>:<password>@<cluster>.mongodb.net/

If you use MongoDB Atlas, allow the Paradime IP address in your Atlas network access list so Paradime can reach your cluster.

​

Step 2: Add the environment variable in Paradime

Add MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING as a Code IDE environment variable for your own sessions, or as a Workspace environment variable to share it across the workspace. Once the variable is saved, ask DinoAI to list your MongoDB databases to confirm the connection.
