About us
MongoDB User Groups (MUGs) are community-driven meetups where developers, architects, database professionals, and tech enthusiasts come together to share knowledge, discuss best practices, and connect with like-minded individuals đ
Whether youâre a beginner just getting started with your first cluster or an experienced power user scaling to petabytes, this group is for you.
Our meetups are a safe space to:
- Learn: Hear from industry experts and local developers about how they are using MongoDB.
- Share: Discuss interesting use cases, architectural patterns, and lessons learned.
- Connect: Network with local tech talent, find mentors, or just hang out with fellow devs.
What to expect:
- Tech talks and demos âď¸
- Interactive workshops đĄ
- Networking, food, and swag đ

Talk to Your Data: Bridging AI and MongoDB with MCP Server
MongoDB Chicago Office, 227 West Monroe, 21st Floor, Chicago, IL, US# Talk to Your Data: Bridging AI and MongoDB with MCP
Are you tired of manually writing complex aggregation pipelines or switching back and forth between your IDE and Compass just to understand a schema? Join us for an exciting deep dive into the MongoDB MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, the official tool that lets you interact with your MongoDB deployments using natural language.
Whether you're using Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot, the MCP server acts as a powerful plugin that gives your AI assistants direct, secure access to your MongoDB data and Atlas management tools.
### What Weâll Cover:
In this session, we will explore how to turn your AI assistant into a MongoDB expert. Weâll cover:
- Natural Language Data Exploration: See how to ask questions like "Whatâs the schema of my 'orders' collection?" or "Show me the top 5 customers by revenue" and get instant, accurate results.
- AI-Powered Database Operations: Perform CRUD operations and build complex aggregation pipelines without writing a single line of boilerplate code.
- Atlas Management from your CLI: Learn how to manage clusters, projects, and organizations directly through AI-driven commands.
- Context-Aware Code Generation: Discover how giving your AI "database context" helps it write more accurate, production-ready application code.
### What Youâll Learn:
- How to install and configure the MongoDB MCP Server in minutes.
- Best practices for security, including Read-Only mode and Atlas Service Accounts.
- How to integrate the server with popular AI clients like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.
- Real-world use cases for streamlining developer workflows and debugging slow queries.
### Who Should Attend?
- Developers looking to speed up their coding workflows with AI.
- Data Architects interested in how LLMs can interact with document databases.
- AI Enthusiasts building autonomous agents that need a reliable data source.
- DBAs curious about the future of AI-driven database management.
