MongoDB for VS Code

MongoDB for VS Code lets you easily work with MongoDB directly from your VS Code environment. Using the MongoDB extension, you can:

  • Connect to a MongoDB instance or cluster
  • Navigate your databases and collections
  • Prototype queries and aggregations

You can install the MongoDB extension from inside of VS Code via the VS Code Extension Marketplace. Help us improve the MongoDB for VS Code by posting your ideas and suggestions for improvements.


To report bugs, please use our VSCODE JIRA project.

  1. Naming convention of documents when viewing in VSCode

    The MongoDB extension for VSCode has given me a really good development experience by simply using my DB from either local machine or from Atlas, without going out of the editor.

    But one thing we can have, as an improvement, is to give some sort of ability that the documents of a MongoDB collection can be named based on a field chosen when viewing it via extension.

    Currently, for sake of uniqueness, it uses _id as representation name, which may sometimes feel confusing while developing with MongoDB.

    I will really love to have something of sorts implemented in VS Code.

  2. Connection Collections

    Instead of having to search through a long list of connections, create folders in which related connections might be grouped?

  3. Ability to select a specific property to display in the sidebar document list

    Make it possible to select (and remember for each collection) a property to display in the list of documents, instead of the standard '_id' property (For example: 'name' property, instead of '_id')

  4. Linting/Validation support for query language

    It would be nice if MongoDB for VS Code had a built-in functionality to verify query syntax, best practices, etc.

    Conceptually, this would work similarly to how ESLINT works for JavaScript.
