Monghoul is a MongoDB client that samples your collections to power intelligent autocomplete — suggesting field paths, types, and real enum values as you type. In aggregation pipelines it tracks document shape through every stage, so after a $lookup it knows the foreign fields, after $group it updates to your new shape, and indexed fields get priority.
Features a visual aggregation builder with drag-and-drop and live preview, explain view with one-click index creation, table view with inline editing and document diff, charts, real-time cluster monitor with slow query profiling.
It also includes a 70-tool MCP server that lets AI assistants query your data and control the app.
Monghoul is a MongoDB GUI with schema-aware autocomplete, visual aggregation builder and AI-accessible MCP tools.
