01Questions
What people ask MongoDB
Each one becomes a query against the MongoDB data, run read-only, with the SQL shown beside the chart so anyone who reads SQL can check it. Anything worth keeping goes on a dashboard that refreshes on its own.
- How many orders did each country place last month?
- Which users have the most documents in the events collection?
- What is the average basket size by month?
- Which records are missing an email address?
02From your assistant
Ask MongoDB from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Dataki runs a hosted MCP server. Add it to your assistant once and it can read the MongoDB data in BigQuery and run read-only queries through Dataki. The assistant gets the rows back; the credentials stay encrypted in Dataki and never reach the model.
Setup for your assistant:
Using the orders export I uploaded to Dataki, chart orders by country for last month.
- list_sources · finds orders.csv
- get_data_context · reads the tables and what the columns mean
- query · runs the SQL read-only, returns the rows
- render_ui · draws the chart from those rows, in the chat

Using Dataki with MongoDB
- Can I query MongoDB in plain English?
- Yes. Export a MongoDB collection to CSV and upload it, or copy it into BigQuery with Google's Dataflow template. Dataki then turns plain-English questions into SQL against that data and returns a chart, with the query shown.
- How fresh is MongoDB data in Dataki?
- As fresh as your latest export or copy. An uploaded CSV is a snapshot, and a BigQuery copy refreshes every time the Dataflow job runs. For a continuous copy, Google's Datastream replicates MongoDB into BigQuery too.
- Can Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor query my MongoDB data?
- Yes, through Dataki's hosted MCP server at https://dataki.ai/api/mcp. Connect MongoDB to Dataki, add that URL as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT (or in Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code with a Dataki key), and your assistant can read the schema and run read-only queries. It works with the results, while your credentials stay encrypted in Dataki and never reach the model.
