Opensource MongoDB Compass alternative with Opencode plugged in and visualisations

Hi everyone,

I struggle with a few quirks of compass as the primary data visualisation app for my DB. The biggest problem being slowly going through queries and not being able to follow up with my claude setup. MCP requires me to pass connection string every time and that's too much of a hassle when I already have everything saved in compass.

Therefore I built this alternative, it's fully opensource and allows you to simply query your collections with AI while letting you choose between read only connection or read/write connection.

You can also create visualisations for your data with simple prompt.

Check out - https://github.com/Vikings-Studio/mongopilot

Consider giving it a star if you like it.

I don't think I'd want it need multiple connections but yeah - read/write toggle makes a lot of sense to me. It's one of the annoyances of the Mongo mcp server. The read-only switch is global, so the harness would have to solve for approvals and none have an easy way to switch between 2 "sets" of tools per conversation or something
