• Voyage AI Embeddings: State-of-the-art code embeddings (MongoDB exclusive)
• Native Hybrid Search: Combine vector and text search with MongoDB's $rankFusion
• Real-time Sync: Automatic updates with MongoDB Change Streams
• Multi-language Support: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, C++

📋 Prerequisites

• MongoDB Atlas Account (Free tier available)

  • Sign up at: https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas/register
  • Create a cluster and get your connection string

• Voyage AI API Key (200M tokens free)

🏗️ MongoDB Atlas Setup

1. Create a Vector Search Index

In MongoDB Atlas:

• Navigate to your cluster
• Click "Search" → "Create Search Index"
• Choose "Atlas Vector Search"
• Use this configuration:

{
  "fields": [{
    "type": "vector",
    "path": "embedding",
    "numDimensions": 1024,
    "similarity": "cosine"
  }]
}

2. Enable Hybrid Search (Optional)

For MongoDB 8.0+, create both vector and text indexes:

{
  "mappings": {
    "fields": {
      "embedding": {
        "type": "knnVector",
        "dimensions": 1024,
        "similarity": "cosine"
      },
      "content": {
        "type": "string",
        "analyzer": "lucene.standard"
      }
    }
  }
}

📊 Performance

Based on 2025 benchmarks:

• Storage: 83% less than competitors with int8 quantization
• Accuracy: Up to 14.24% better retrieval than OpenAI
• Speed: Native hybrid search 30% faster
• Cost: 96% storage reduction with binary quantization

🔍 Example Usage in Claude

Once configured, you can use natural language commands:

"Index my TypeScript project at /Users/me/my-project"

"Search for authentication middleware in my-project"

"Show me the implementation of the UserService class"

"Find all database connection code"

"What files handle error logging?"

🐛 Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

• MongoDB Connection Failed

  • Verify your connection string
  • Check IP whitelist in Atlas
  • Ensure cluster is running

• Voyage AI Authentication Failed

  • Verify API key is correct
  • Check API key has credits

• MCP Not Responding

  • Check logs in stderr
  • Verify environment variables
  • Restart AI assistant

Debug Mode

Set DEBUG=true in environment variables for verbose logging:

{
  "env": {
    "DEBUG": "true",
    "MONGODB_URI": "...",
    "VOYAGE_API_KEY": "..."
  }
}
