I still see a lot of people asking 'what's the best MongoDB client for Mac OS X' (besides the
mongo
shell console), so I think it would be only fair to share my experience. Before we can move ahead and teach you how to install MongoDB on the Mac operating system, make sure: That you are familiar with the Mac terminal as well as most of its commands as we will be making extensive use of both in the entirety of this article. In this article we will talk about two methods.
Mongodb For Mac
I've been using MongoDB a lot and for some reason I haven't been too comfortable using the shell console. I mean, you need an integrated code editor to fiddle with those somewhat verbose JSON-formatted queries..
So I was constantly looking for alternatives; 18 months ago there was none I could find and learn to like, really, but now I really favour Robomongo. Topping for mac and cheese. It gives you 'the full power of MongoDB shell', but in the same time you can easily save, load, edit your queries, do copy/paste, view your results as JSON/trees/tables.. and yes, you do get a decent autocompletion :-).
Mongodb Client For Mac
Starting with MongoDB 3.6, MongoDB binaries, mongod and mongos, bind to localhost by default. When bound only to the localhost, these binaries can only accept connections from clients that are running on the same machine. Remote clients cannot connect to the binaries bound only to localhost.

In the previous articles, you have learned what is MongoDB and what are advantages of MongoDB over SQL. In this article, we will learn about downloading and installing MongoDB on Windows & MAC and other operating systems.

Install Mongodb For Mac Os
Ichat for mac. It's also cross-platform, free and open-source (GitHub repo here).
Mongodb For Macbook
Fotonauts' fork of MongoHub is another interesting alternative to keep an eye on; it has a more 'native' OS X feel but IMO it does lack a better query editor..
