MongoDB for VS Code Extension includes the official MongoDB Agent Skills so you can perform common MongoDB tasks using AI agents.
To learn more about the MongoDB Agent Skills, see the MongoDB Agent Skills documentation.
Overview
MongoDB Agent Skills are pre-built, reusable instructions that help AI coding agents perform common MongoDB tasks efficiently. These skills provide agents with expert knowledge about MongoDB best practices, enabling them to help you build applications faster and with fewer errors.
What are Agent Skills?
Agent skills are specialized instructions that teach AI coding agents how to:
Set up and configure MongoDB connections
Design and implement database schemas
Write efficient queries and aggregations
When you install MongoDB agent skills, your AI coding agent gains access to MongoDB-specific knowledge and can provide more accurate, context-aware assistance for your MongoDB development tasks.
Available Skills
The MongoDB agent skills collection includes several skills. To view the current list of available skills, see the MongoDB Agent Skills documentation.
Manage the MCP Server
The VS Code Extension bundles the MongoDB MCP Server, so skills that access a live database work out of the box. You can also use skills focused on design, tuning, and best-practices guidance without it, although some of these skills provide a richer experience with MCP enabled.
To manage the MongoDB MCP server from the VS Code Extension, see the MCP Server settings.
