Atlas CLI

The MongoDB Atlas Command Line Interface, or Atlas CLI (mongodb-atlas-cli), allows you to create, manage, and automate operations related to your MongoDB Atlas deployment. This includes tasks like provisioning clusters, creating and deleting users, and controlling network access. You can also access related products like Atlas Search. With the Atlas CLI, you can quickly interact with MongoDB services from the command line for easier testing and scripting.


You can install the Atlas CLI via, Homebrew, Apt, Yum, or a binary download. Help us improve the MongoDB Atlas CLI by posting your ideas and suggestions for improvements.

    To better assist you, could you please provide a link to the specific documentation you believe requires improvements for the Atlas CLI Docker image (mongodb/atlas)? This would help us pinpoint the exact areas that need attention.

    Additionally, it appears that you are attempting to execute MongoDB Shell database commands, but it's important to note that this Docker image is designed for MongoDB Atlas, a cloud service for managing MongoDB deployments in the Cloud.
