What this repository is

This is where Monghoul is released and where its issues are tracked. The application source is not here.

Releases — every version, with installers for all three platforms
Issues — bug reports and feature requests

What is Monghoul?

A desktop MongoDB client built with Tauri and Bun. It uses the web view your operating system already ships instead of bundling a browser, which is why the installer is 38 MB rather than the size an Electron app of the same scope would be.

Your data stays on your machine. Connection profiles, tabs, query history and themes live in a local SQLite database, and there is no account to create.

Highlights

Schema-aware autocomplete that follows fields through $lookup, $group, $project, $facet and the rest, so a joined field completes eight lines later
Visual aggregation builder with drag-and-drop stages, a per-stage preview, a $lookup form helper, and code that stays in sync with the visual pipeline
Six chart types — bar, horizontal bar, line, pie, scatter and area — with stacking on three of them, dual axis, date aggregation and PNG export
Cluster monitoring with live metrics, slow-query analysis and the database profiler
70+ MCP tools for AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client), behind a permission model and an approval queue
Eleven built-in themes and an editor that derives a whole token set from three colours
Import and export in JSON, CSV and Excel, plus cross-instance collection copy
Eight authentication methods — no auth, username and password, SCRAM-SHA-1 and SCRAM-SHA-256, and on Pro X.509, LDAP, Kerberos and AWS IAM
SSH tunnelling and TLS with custom certificates
Write protection, per connection and narrowable to particular databases and collections, enforced at the driver rather than by reading your query

The product pages walk through these by workflow. The documentation is the manual.

Download

Platform	Format
Windows	`.exe` installer
macOS	`.dmg` (Apple silicon and Intel)
Linux	`.deb` and `.rpm`

Download the latest release, or see monghoul.com/download for install notes per platform.

Reporting a bug or asking for a feature

Open an issue. The forms ask for what is actually needed to reproduce a problem, so filling one in beats a blank issue.

Bugs — the app version, your OS, and the steps that produce it. The Operation Logs panel often holds the server's own message, which is the useful part.
Features — describe the problem you are trying to solve rather than the solution you have in mind. It leaves room for a better answer.

For anything security related, see SECURITY.md. Please do not open a public issue for a vulnerability.
