MongoDB Atlas Admin API

Tool to browse OpenAPI specifications for MongoDB Atlas. Note: If ATLAS_CLIENT_ID and ATLAS_CLIENT_SECRET are configured in the environment, this tool can also execute live API calls. Without credentials, it functions as a read-only documentation browser.

Commands

1. List API Catalog

List all available API categories or filter by keyword.

node {baseDir}/scripts/atlas-api.mjs catalog # list all categories
node {baseDir}/scripts/atlas-api.mjs catalog Clusters

2. Get API Details

Get full endpoint definition (method, path, params) for a specific Operation ID.

node {baseDir}/scripts/atlas-api.mjs detail listClusterDetails

3. Get Schema Definition

Get the data model schema for complex types.

node {baseDir}/scripts/atlas-api.mjs schema "#/components/schemas/ApiError"

4. Execute Live API Calls

Execute real HTTP requests against the Atlas API.

Script: node {baseDir}/scripts/atlas-call.mjs <METHOD> <ENDPOINT> [flags]

⚠️ Mandatory Safety Protocol

For any state-changing operation (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE):

1. STOP & REVIEW: You MUST NOT execute the command immediately.

2. PREVIEW: Use --dry-run first to verify the payload and endpoint.

3. CONFIRM: Display the full command and JSON body to the user.

4. EXECUTE: Only run with --yes after receiving explicit user approval.

Usage Examples

1. Read-Only (Safe)

node {baseDir}/scripts/atlas-call.mjs GET groups/{groupId}/clusters

2. Create/Modify (RISKY - Require Approval)

node {baseDir}/scripts/atlas-call.mjs POST groups/{groupId}/clusters \
  --data '{"name":"DemoCluster", "providerSettings":{...}}' \
  --dry-run

Options

• -d, --data <json>: Request body string (ensure proper JSON escaping).

• -p, --params <json>: Query parameters.

• --dry-run: Print the request details without executing (Recommended for verification).

• --yes: Skip interactive confirmation (Use CAREFULLY).

Environment

Requires ATLAS_CLIENT_ID and ATLAS_CLIENT_SECRET to be set.
