A set of enhancements for the legacy MongoDB shell that adds colorized output, pretty printing, custom prompts, and extra shell helpers. The project is unmaintained and its README recommends using mongosh instead.

Use cases

  • improve mongodb shell readability with colorized output
  • pretty print mongodb query results by default
  • add extra shell helpers to the mongo shell
  • customize the mongodb shell prompt
  • sort document keys in shell output

When to choose

  • you are stuck on a legacy MongoDB 3.x-4.x environment with the old mongo shell
  • you want quick UX tweaks to the classic mongo shell

When to avoid

  • you use modern MongoDB with mongosh, which supersedes this project
  • you need maintained, supported tooling
