MongoScope

Connections

DbSelector, connections dialog, keychain storage, and Static vs Live

Press c on Live Ops / Replication / Indexes (or Ctrl+K → Manage connections). With no saved profiles, those tabs show an inline add form.

URIs are stored in the OS keychain under service com.mongoscope.cli.

After a connection is selected, Slow Queries and Logs can toggle Static vs Live with l.

There is no separate full-screen connections flow — switching, adding, editing, and deleting happen through DbSelector + the connections dialog.

Credential store

Saved connections use Bun.secrets:

  • macOS: Keychain
  • Linux: Secret Service (GNOME Keyring, KWallet, etc.)

CLI connection flags

--uri or --host / --port / --username / --password / --auth-db activate an ephemeral live connection for this session only — credentials are not written to the OS keychain. Use the in-app connections dialog to save a profile. See CLI flags.
