Connect via BI Connector for Atlas¶
On this page
Serverless instances are in preview and do not support this feature at this time. To learn more, see Serverless Instance Limitations.
You can enable the BI Connector for Atlas when you
create or
scale an M10 or larger cluster.
The MongoDB Connector for Business Intelligence for Atlas (BI Connector) is only available for M10 and
larger clusters.
The BI Connector is a powerful tool which provides users
SQL-based access to their MongoDB databases. As a result, the
BI Connector performs operations which may be CPU and memory
intensive. Given the limited hardware resources on M10 and
M20 cluster tiers, you may experience performance degradation of
the cluster when enabling the BI Connector. If this occurs,
upgrade to an M30 or larger cluster or disable the
BI Connector.
To connect to the BI Connector for Atlas:
- Click the Connect button for your cluster.
- Click Connect Your Business Intelligence Tool and use the provided connection information to connect with your BI tool.

Multi-Cloud Cluster Considerations¶
If you have a multi-cloud cluster,
your BI Connector connection string may include the cloud provider
type (.gcp or .azure). In the event of a failover in which nodes
on one cloud provider fail and requests are routed to nodes in another cloud
provider, your BI Connector connection string may change.
To mitigate this hazard, add analytics nodes to clusters deployed only in one cloud provider and set the BI Connector read preference to Analytics. This ensures that your connection string remains constant.
