Local by default.
Your connections, queries and results stay on your machine by default. You sign in with a MongoQUI account; beyond that, cloud features are opt-in: shared connections, AI generation, Report Builder.
MongoQUI is a modern workspace built for teams that treat MongoDB as production infrastructure. Keyboard-first, AI-native, BI-capable and team-ready, without a dozen separate products wired together.
Every MongoDB team we talked to had the same day-to-day. Compass handles queries but cannot share a dashboard with a teammate. Studio 3T is capable but paywalls every useful feature. Robo 3T and NoSQLBooster feel abandoned. Metabase and Looker are strong for SQL warehouses but lose the plot on nested documents and array fields.
The end state is always the same: a half-built internal tool, a read-replica that an analyst pokes at, and no one knows who ran the last migration. Platform teams stitch three tools, a spreadsheet and a Slack channel together, and still miss the audit trail.
MongoQUI is our bet that the workspace can be one product, built by a small team with strong opinions, that engineers want to open every morning. Not a bundle. Not a CRUD table with an AI chatbot stapled on. A real tool, for a real database, used by real teams.
That means the GUI and the shell and the AI assistant and the Report Builder and the RBAC layer all live in the same binary and share the same keyboard shortcuts. The organisation audit log records account and team events: invites, role and seat changes, 2FA changes and shared-connection edits. When we say “local-first,” we mean the Python sidecar on your machine. When we say “shared,” we mean AES-256-encrypted and revocable. When we say “SOC 2,” we mean the Type II audit is in progress. We are not certified yet.

No vanity badges. If the page says AES-256, TOTP or audit log, the code ships it. If we don't do it, we don't claim it.
A workspace used for hours a day must be fast to drive. Shortcuts, Monaco, saved queries, tab history: all first-class.
GUI, shell, AI, sharing, reports and RBAC live in a single app. You do not pay three vendors to get one workflow.
Stage types in the aggregation builder, counted from the product.
Free, Basic, Pro, Ultimate. A 30-day trial on any paid plan when you start with a single seat.
Marketing pages are static and the copy lives in git. Only the blog is fetched from our blog service.
No fake certifications, no expired Privacy Shield badges, no inflated user counts.
No quarters, no dates to the month. These are the three things we're working on next.
The Type II audit is in progress. We are not certified yet. The report will be available on request once the audit closes.
The apt repository for Linux is live and auto-updates the .deb. brew install mongoqui and winget install MongoQUI come next, alongside the direct-download flow, so team installs stop being a ticket.
Public share link analytics (who viewed, when, from where) plus webhook endpoints so Report Builder actions can fire into your incident and observability stack.
“MongoDB teams are stuck choosing between a free tool that stops at find, and a paid tool that paywalls every second click. We’re building the workspace that fills the gap: one product, one keyboard, one audit log.”
Download the desktop app and start on the Free plan, take a 30-day single-seat trial of any paid plan, or book a call if you are rolling MongoQUI out across a team.
