Connect Adapt to MongoDB to query your collections and analyze your documents using natural language. Adapt connects to your database through a standard connection string, so you can explore collections and pull insights without writing queries by hand.

​
Set up credentials

Adapt connects to MongoDB using a connection string (URI). MongoDB Atlas uses the mongodb+srv:// format, and self-hosted deployments typically use mongodb://.
1

Create a read-only database user (recommended)

In MongoDB Atlas, go to Database Access and add a database user with a read-only role (for example readAnyDatabase, or read on a specific database) rather than an admin account. Note the username and password.
2

Allowlist network access

In Atlas, go to Network Access and add the IP addresses that need to connect so Adapt can reach your cluster.
3

Copy your connection string

In Atlas, go to Database > Clusters, click Connect, choose Drivers, and copy the connection string. It looks like:
mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.example.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority
Replace <username> and <password> with your database user’s credentials. For self-hosted deployments, use your mongodb://host:27017/... URI. Any special characters in the password must be percent-encoded.
The mongodb+srv:// format resolves your cluster’s hosts automatically. Use the plain mongodb:// format for standalone or self-managed servers.

You can rename the connection and choose whether it is shared with your organization or kept personal to you.
5

Test the connection

Ask Adapt to list your collections or query your data.

​
Security

  • Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256
  • Use a dedicated database user with a read-only role
  • Restrict network access with an IP access list and allowlist only trusted addresses
  • Connect over TLS, which is enabled by default for Atlas mongodb+srv:// connections
  • Never share your connection string publicly or commit it to source control

​
