A complete MongoDB management
tool inside your Docker stack
Compooss gives developers a fast, visual MongoDB client that fits into any Docker Compose workflow — no desktop apps, no cloud services, no complex setup.
Database Management
List, create, and drop MongoDB databases from a visual admin panel. Get real-time stats on document counts, storage size, and indexes at a glance.
Collection Explorer
Navigate MongoDB collections with an expandable sidebar. Instantly view document count, storage size, index count, and average document size per collection.
Full Document CRUD
Create, read, update, and delete MongoDB documents with an intuitive Monaco-powered editor. Supports JSON validation and syntax highlighting.
Data Export & Import
Export any collection to JSON or CSV with optional filter and limit controls. Import documents from JSON arrays or CSV files with a drag-and-drop UI, live preview, and per-row error reporting.
Multiple Connections
Save, edit, and switch between MongoDB connection profiles from a dedicated connection page. Supports authentication (SCRAM, X.509, LDAP, Kerberos), TLS/SSL, color-coded profiles, favorites, and test-before-connect.
Modern Developer UI
Clean interface with dark, light, and system-aware themes built with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui. Designed to feel native to modern development workflows.
Why Compooss
The MongoDB GUI that fits
your development workflow
Most MongoDB GUIs are desktop apps that need installation, configuration, and often a paid license. Compooss is the only one purpose-built for Docker Compose — the way modern developers actually work.
Docker-native
Runs as a single container in your Compose stack. No separate install, no desktop app, no config files.
Free & open source
MIT licensed with no paywalls, no usage limits, and no account required. Self-host it forever.
Zero friction
One service definition and you're done. No connection wizards, no license keys, no cloud sync.

Designed for developers, not database admins
Compooss gives you exactly the features you need during development — browse data, debug queries, inspect schemas — without the complexity of enterprise-grade tools you'll never use locally.
How it works
From zero to MongoDB GUI in three steps
No signup, no cloud dependency, no configuration wizards. Compooss connects directly to your MongoDB instance over your Docker network.
Add to your Docker Compose file
Drop the Compooss service into your existing docker-compose.yml alongside your MongoDB container. One service definition is all you need.
Connect from the UI
Open the /connect page in Compooss, enter your MongoDB connection string, and save a connection profile. You can test the connection before using it.
Open and start exploring
Navigate to localhost:3000 in your browser. Instantly browse databases, run queries, edit documents, and manage your MongoDB data through a visual interface.
