The workspace: a three-condition find in the editor with the autocomplete open on a nested field path, and the matching orders in a table below
Workspace · Completions on a nested path, over a result already on screen

01 · Querying

Autocomplete that follows your fields through the stages that reshape them.

A Monaco editor over the MongoDB Node driver, with completions pulled from your actual collection schemas. The part other clients do not do is keep those completions correct deep inside a pipeline.

Querying →
The autocomplete list open on a nested field path, each entry showing its type
Query editor · Typing "shipping." offers only the child fields, with types

02 · AI access

70+ MCP tools, with a permission model in front of them.

Monghoul runs an MCP server, so an AI assistant can query your databases through the same connection profiles you already use. The interesting design is not the tools. It is what an assistant is allowed to reach and what it has to ask for first.

03 · Reading results

Six ways to read a result, and a performance grade on every read that returns a cursor.

Table, tree, JSON, result, explain and chart. The view you want depends on the question you are asking, so switching between them costs one click and no re-run.

Reading results →
Query results in a virtualized table, sorted on durationMs, with the country column pinned to the left edge
Results · Table view, virtualized, with a pinned column and a sort

04 · Connections and safety

Eight authentication methods, TLS and SSH, and a block that lives at the driver.

This app holds credentials for your production databases. What it does with them, and what it stops you doing by accident, is worth reading before you install it.

Connections and safety →
The connection dialog on its General tab, with a pasted connection string and the Security and Advanced tabs beside it

And the rest of it

3 more workflows, each with its own page and its own screenshots.
