Mongodb Mcp Setup
Skill Verified ActiveGuide users through configuring key MongoDB MCP server options. Use this skill when a user has the MongoDB MCP server installed but hasn't configured the required environment variables, or when they ask about connecting to MongoDB/Atlas and don't have the credentials set up.
To enable users to easily configure their MongoDB MCP server for agentic workflows by providing clear, step-by-step guidance tailored to their environment and chosen authentication method.
Features
- Guides through MongoDB MCP server configuration
- Detects user's agentic client type (shell-based vs. Codex)
- Supports Connection String, Service Account, and Atlas Local authentication
- Provides clear instructions for setting environment variables and config files
- Includes troubleshooting steps for common issues
Use Cases
- When a user has the MongoDB MCP server installed but unconfigured.
- When a user needs help connecting to MongoDB or Atlas and lacks credentials.
- To set up local development environments with Atlas Local.
- To configure secure service account credentials for Atlas Admin API access.
Non-Goals
- Handling or storing user credentials directly.
- Configuring aspects of the MongoDB server beyond authentication and essential environment variables.
- Automating the MongoDB Atlas account creation process (only guides user through it).

Context7 Cli
100Use the ctx7 CLI to fetch library documentation, manage AI coding skills, and configure Context7 MCP. Activate when the user mentions "ctx7" or "context7", needs current docs for any library, wants to install/search/generate skills, or needs to set up Context7 for their AI coding agent.
MongoDB Connection Optimizer
100Optimize MongoDB client connection configuration (pools, timeouts, patterns) for any supported driver language. Use this skill when working/updating/reviewing on functions that instantiate or configure a MongoDB client (eg, when calling `connect()`), configuring connection pools, troubleshooting connection errors (ECONNREFUSED, timeouts, pool exhaustion), optimizing performance issues related to connections. This includes scenarios like building serverless functions with MongoDB, creating API endpoints that use MongoDB, optimizing high-traffic MongoDB applications, creating long-running tasks and concurrency, or debugging connection-related failures.
Setup Gbrain
100Set up gbrain for this coding agent: install the CLI, initialize a local PGLite or Supabase brain, register MCP, capture per-remote trust policy. One command from zero to "gbrain is running, and this agent can call it." Use when: "setup gbrain", "connect gbrain", "start gbrain", "install gbrain", "configure gbrain for this machine". (gstack)
Zapier Setup
99Set up Zapier MCP and add tools to your AI assistant. Introduces what Zapier can do, walks through authentication, detects your server mode, then branches into the right flow — summary for healthy setups, reconnect for broken auth, onboarding for fresh installs, or config help when the server is missing. Use when getting started, troubleshooting connection issues, adding new tools, or when the user asks "what can I do now", "what can I do with Zapier", "show me how the Zapier plugin works", "what is Zapier MCP", "how does Zapier work", or "tell me about Zapier".
