About MongoDB Compass

MongoDB Compass is the official graphical user interface for MongoDB, letting developers explore schemas, run queries with a visual query bar, build aggregation pipelines stage by stage and inspect indexes and performance metrics. It can generate queries from natural language, visualize explain plans, and import and export data across the development lifecycle.
