MongoDB

MongoDB is provisioned automatically when Jetpacked detects it from your repository. A dedicated instance is created for your project and the connection string is injected as MONGODB_URI before your app starts.

Detection

Jetpacked detects MongoDB from:

• mongoose or mongodb in your dependencies
• A Prisma schema with provider = "mongodb"

Auto-injected variables

Variable	Value
MONGODB_URI	mongodb://user:password@host:27017/dbname?authSource=admin
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME	Username (default: jetpacked)
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE	Database name (default: your project slug)
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD	Auto-generated password

Using an external database

If you want to use an existing MongoDB instance instead of a provisioned one, add MONGODB_URI manually in the Environment tab. Your value takes precedence over the auto-injected one.

Viewing credentials

Generated credentials can be viewed in plain text in the Environment tab of your project.

Available service slots

You can reference MongoDB values in other environment variables using service slots. See Service Slots for full details.

Slot	Resolves to
$mongodb.url	Full connection URL
$mongodb.host	Hostname
$mongodb.port	Port number
$mongodb.user	Username
$mongodb.password	Password
$mongodb.name	Database name
