MongoQUI is offline-first. A network connection is only required for cloud features: AI queries, shared connections, Report Builder share links, and license sync.

05 · First-run walkthrough

From download to first query in under a minute.

01

Install

One-click install · no admin rights on macOS

Open the downloaded file and drop MongoQUI into Applications (macOS), run the setup EXE (Windows), or chmod +x and launch the AppImage (Linux).

02

Set a master password

Argon2id · local-only

MongoQUI encrypts every saved credential with Argon2id, keyed off a master password you control. Pick a strong one. We can't reset it for you.

03

Paste a MongoDB URI

Atlas · self-hosted · AWS IAM

Click New connection, paste any mongodb:// or mongodb+srv:// URI, and hit Test. TLS, X.509, replica sets and SRV records all work out of the box.

04

Run your first query

Visual builder · IntelliShell · AI prompt

Pick a database and collection from the sidebar, drop into the Visual Query Builder or IntelliShell, and hit ⌘/Ctrl + Enter. You're in.

06 · What’s inside

A single native app wrapping four pieces.

MongoQUI ships as a single native application built on the Tauri 2.1 shell. The user interface is a Next.js 15.3 + React 19 bundle served locally. All MongoDB I/O is handled by a compiled Python sidecar (FastAPI + Motor, packaged with PyInstaller) that spawns alongside the UI, and the integrated shell runs a bundled mongosh binary.

Nothing in the core workflow calls home. Your connection strings, queries, and results never leave your machine unless you opt in to cloud features.

07 · Auto-update

Silent updates via GitHub Releases.

The Tauri updater checks updates.mongoqui.com on launch, downloads the delta, and applies it on next restart. No admin rights, no reinstall. Pin a version with MONGOQUI_AUTO_UPDATE=false or toggle it off in Settings → Updates.

08 · Prefer no install?

Launch the web app at app.mongoqui.com

Same workspace, no download. Browse shared team connections, view shared Reports, manage licensing and org settings. For production workloads we still recommend the desktop app. Query execution runs through a browser-safe path in the web client.
