## Dependencies

```bash
uv add pymongo
```

The `pymongo` package provides async MongoDB driver support via `AsyncMongoClient`.

For credential setup, see the [MongoDB Setup](/home/setup/mongodb) guide.

## Configuration

### Mount all databases

```python
import os
from mirage import Workspace, MountMode
from mirage.resource.mongodb import MongoDBConfig, MongoDBResource

config = MongoDBConfig(uri=os.environ["MONGODB_URI"])
resource = MongoDBResource(config=config)
ws = Workspace({"/mongodb/": resource}, mode=MountMode.READ)
```

### Mount specific databases

```python
config = MongoDBConfig(
    uri=os.environ["MONGODB_URI"],
    databases=["sample_mflix", "sample_analytics"],
)
resource = MongoDBResource(config=config)
ws = Workspace({"/mongodb/": resource}, mode=MountMode.READ)
```

The database directory always appears in the path, even when `databases`
filters to a single entry. The full layout is documented under
[MongoDB Resource](/python/resource/mongodb).
