capture-mongodb-create

capture-mongodb-create is a skill for Claude Code from estuary/agent-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,963 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup for capturing MongoDB change data with Estuary. Change Data Capture, or CDC, streams inserts, updates, and other database changes into Estuary collections in near real time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure real-time streaming from MongoDB collections, including deployment prerequisites, permissions, replica sets, capture modes, and optional SSH tunnelling.
Why use it?
It avoids manually building a connection between MongoDB and a streaming pipeline. It also accounts for different MongoDB deployments, such as Atlas, DocumentDB, Cosmos DB, and self-hosted servers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

capture-mongodb-create scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Create MongoDB Capture

Create a MongoDB capture using flowctl to stream data from MongoDB collections into Estuary collections using Change Data Capture (CDC).

Applies to: source-mongodb, source-amazon-documentdb, source-azure-cosmos-db

Step 0: Load Connector Documentation

Before proceeding, fetch the official connector docs for prerequisites, config reference, and deployment-specific setup.

Always load the main page: https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/capture-connectors/MongoDB/

Then load the variant subpage based on the user's deployment:

Deployment Docs URL
MongoDB Atlas Main page covers this
Self-hosted MongoDB Main page covers this
Amazon DocumentDB https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/capture-connectors/MongoDB/amazon-documentdb/
Azure Cosmos DB https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/capture-connectors/MongoDB/azure-cosmosdb/

Use WebFetch to load these pages. Together they cover:

  • Prerequisites (replica set requirement, user permissions)
  • Full config property reference
  • Capture modes (Change Stream Incremental, Batch Snapshot, Batch Incremental)
  • SSH tunnel configuration
  • Network access / IP allowlisting

This skill provides the flowctl workflow and troubleshooting that docs don't cover.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Before writing any YAML, ask the user:

  1. Deployment type? — MongoDB Atlas, self-hosted replica set, Amazon DocumentDB, or Azure Cosmos DB
  2. Network path? — Direct connection (Atlas/cloud with IP allowlist), SSH tunnel (private network), Private Link (AWS/Azure/GCP), or ngrok (local dev)
  3. Non-default data plane? — Most users use the default. Ask if they need a non-default data plane.
  4. Database and collections? — Which database, all collections or specific subset
  5. Capture mode? — Change Stream Incremental (default CDC), Batch Snapshot, or Batch Incremental

Critical check: MongoDB CDC requires a replica set. Atlas and DocumentDB always are. Self-hosted standalone will NOT work — must be converted to replica set first.
