Quick Start

This guide walks you through setup, your first query, and next steps.

Prerequisites

  • A running MongoDB instance (Atlas, self-hosted, or Enterprise)
  • A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  • Your MongoDB connection string ready

Create account

Go to moret.cloud and click "Start free trial".

  1. Choose email or SSO to sign in
  2. Verify your email address
  3. You'll be redirected to the dashboard

Connect MongoDB

In the dashboard, click "New connection" or "Connect MongoDB".

  1. Select your MongoDB type (Atlas, Self-hosted, etc.)
  2. Paste connection string or enter credentials
  3. Optionally rename the connection

Connection String Format

The connection string connects moret to your MongoDB. Here's an example for MongoDB Atlas:

plaintext

Test connection

Click "Test connection" to ensure everything works.

  • moret attempts to connect to your MongoDB
  • On success, you'll see your databases listed
  • On error: Check connection string and firewall rules

Write your first query

Now the fun part: Write your first AI-generated query.

Assume you have a "users" collection. You want to find all users from Germany who joined in the last month.

Simply enter in the Query Builder:

plaintext

moret automatically generates:

What's happening here?

  • $match stage filters data by country and date
  • $project stage selects only the fields you need
  • The aggregation pipeline executes multiple operations in sequence

More complex query

You want to see how many users are registered per country:

moret generates:
