mongodb-atlas

What This Skill Does

The mongodb-atlas skill is a sophisticated interface for interacting with the MongoDB Atlas Admin API directly from your OpenClaw environment. It bridges the gap between static documentation and live cloud infrastructure management. Designed for DevOps engineers, database administrators, and developers, this skill provides both a read-only browsing mode for exploring OpenAPI specifications and a command-line interface for executing administrative tasks like cluster provisioning, project management, and monitoring configurations. By wrapping the complex Atlas API surface, it transforms your agent into a powerful Atlas consultant capable of retrieving architectural insights or deploying infrastructure updates.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your OpenClaw terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/finishy1995/mongodb-atlas-admin Once installed, ensure your environment variables ATLAS_CLIENT_ID and ATLAS_CLIENT_SECRET are properly configured to enable live API interaction. Without these credentials, the skill defaults to its documentation-only mode.

Use Cases

• Infrastructure Provisioning: Automate the creation and scaling of MongoDB clusters by defining payloads through the agent.
• Operational Auditing: Quickly query current configurations, network peering status, or backup policies to ensure compliance.
• Error Resolution: Use the schema lookup to identify correct parameter structures for complex API requests, reducing common configuration errors.
• Monitoring & Observability: Retrieve real-time performance metrics and alert configurations for your global database deployments.

Example Prompts

1. "List all clusters currently active in my project group and show me their details using the atlas API."
2. "What is the correct JSON schema for the cluster creation payload? I want to make sure my input matches the current API specification."
3. "Help me create a new dedicated cluster in the US-East region, but perform a dry-run first so I can inspect the request before committing to the changes."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: The skill features a strict safety protocol for state-changing operations (POST, PUT, DELETE). Always utilize the --dry-run flag to validate your payload. The agent will refuse to execute critical changes without explicit user confirmation.
• Scope: While it supports over 50 categories of API interaction, remember that sensitive configuration changes should be reviewed carefully. If you encounter issues, use the catalog command to verify you are targeting the correct API endpoint and parameters.
