Visualize your MongoDB collections, fields, and relationships — right inside VS Code. No more switching to Compass or guessing your schema from old code.
Features
Connects directly to your MongoDB database (Atlas or self-hosted)
Samples your collections and infers field names, types, and likely relationships
Renders an interactive, color-coded diagram with all collections at a glance
Always-visible field details — no digging through nested panels
Filter collections by name when you have a lot of them
Getting Started
Install the extension
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
Run "MongoDB: Visualize Schema"
Paste your MongoDB connection string when prompted — or set it once permanently via "MongoDB: Set Connection String"
Pick a database if you have more than one
Your schema diagram opens in a new panel
No MongoDB instance handy? A free MongoDB Atlas cluster works great for testing.
Free vs Pro
Free: visualize up to 5 collections — plenty for small projects
After purchasing, you'll receive a license key by email. Activate it via Command Palette → "MongoDB Schema Visualizer: Activate Pro License".
Privacy
Your connection string and data stay local between your machine and your own MongoDB server. The only outbound call this extension makes elsewhere is to Gumroad's license verification API, and only when you activate a Pro license.
