Rule 01
Offline-first, cloud when you ask for it.
Your queries, credentials and results stay on your machine by default. Cloud is opt-in, per feature: shared connections, AI generation, Report Builder.
MongoQUI is a modern workspace built for teams that treat MongoDB as production infrastructure. Keyboard-first, AI-native, BI-capable and team-ready, without a dozen separate products wired together.
Feature · Our bet
MongoDB grew up.
Its tools did not.
Every MongoDB team we talked to had the same day-to-day. Compass handles queries but cannot share a dashboard with a teammate. Studio 3T is capable but paywalls every useful feature. Robo 3T and NoSQLBooster feel abandoned. Metabase and Looker are strong for SQL warehouses but lose the plot on nested documents and array fields.
The end state is always the same: a half-built internal tool, a read-replica that an analyst pokes at, and no one knows who ran the last migration. Platform teams stitch three tools, a spreadsheet and a Slack channel together, and still miss the audit trail.
MongoQUI is our bet that the workspace can be one product, built by a small team with strong opinions, that engineers want to open every morning. Not a bundle. Not a CRUD table with an AI chatbot stapled on. A real tool, for a real database, used by real teams.
That means the GUI and the shell and the AI assistant and the Report Builder and the RBAC layer all live in the same binary, share the same keyboard shortcuts, and write to the same audit log. When we say “local-first,” we mean the Python sidecar on your machine. When we say “shared,” we mean AES-256-encrypted and revocable. When we say “SOC 2-ready,” we mean the controls ship. The certification is the audit, and the audit is in progress.
Manifesto · Four rules
Four rules we hold to,
even when they hurt the demo.
02
Rule 02
Every control we show is a control we built.
No vanity badges. If the page says AES-256, TOTP or audit log, the code ships it. If we don't do it, we don't claim it.
03
Rule 03
Keyboard before mouse.
A workspace used for hours a day must be fast to drive. Shortcuts, Monaco, saved queries, tab history: all first-class.
04
Rule 04
One product, not a bundle.
GUI, shell, AI, sharing, reports and RBAC live in a single app. You do not pay three vendors to get one workflow.
Where we are today
A Tauri desktop app on three platforms, a cloud control plane, and a small team with strong opinions. No more, no less.

On deck · Next six months
What we’re
working on next.
No quarters, no dates to the month. These four items are in motion right now. Some are already merged behind feature flags, others scoped and staffed.
01
SOC 2 readiness.
Audit in progress
Controls already implemented; the Type II engagement is in progress. Report available on request once the audit closes.
02
Native distribution.
Homebrew · winget · apt
brew install mongoqui, winget install MongoQUI and an apt repository, shipped alongside the existing direct-download flow so team installs stop being a ticket.
03
More AI providers, cleaner BYOK.
Provider-agnostic
Broader provider coverage past OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini, plus cleaner bring-your-own-key UX so finance teams can run their own provider contracts.
04
Team analytics & webhooks.
Signals · webhooks
Public share link analytics (who viewed, when, from where) plus webhook endpoints so Report Builder actions can fire into your incident and observability stack.
On the record · Founder
“MongoDB teams are stuck choosing between a free tool that stops at find, and a paid tool that paywalls every second click. We’re building the workspace that fills the gap: one product, one keyboard, one audit log.”
