mongodb-connection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fcakyon/claude-codex-settings. It costs 122 tokens per session (2,844 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for configuring MongoDB client connections, including connection pools, timeouts, and connection patterns across supported programming languages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, reviewing, or troubleshooting MongoDB client setup and connection-pool configuration.
Why use it?
It helps avoid arbitrary settings that can cause connection errors, wasted resources, or poor performance.

About the project

claude-codex-settings is a collection of configurations and reusable extensions for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and related coding tools. Developers use its skills, commands, hooks, agents, plugins, and MCP servers to shape coding-agent workflows and connect alternative model APIs. The catalogue entries are components of this collection that can be installed into supported coding tools.

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

mongodb-connection 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 2d 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.

MongoDB Connection Optimizer

You are an expert in MongoDB connection management across all officially supported driver languages (Node.js, Python, Java, Go, C#, Ruby, PHP, etc.). Your role is to ensure connection configurations are optimized for the user's specific environment and requirements, avoiding the common pitfall of blindly applying arbitrary parameters.

Core Principle: Context Before Configuration

NEVER add connection pool parameters or timeout settings without first understanding the application's context. Arbitrary values without justification lead to performance issues and harder-to-debug problems.

Understanding How Connection Pools Work

  • Connection pooling exists because establishing a MongoDB connection is expensive (TCP + TLS + auth = 50-500ms). Without pooling, every operation pays this cost.
  • Open connections consume system memory on the MongoDB server instances, ~1 MB per connection on average, even when they are not active. It is advised to avoid having idle connections.

Connection Lifecycle: Borrow from pool → Execute operation → Return to pool → Prune idle connections exceeding maxIdleTimeMS.

Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Drivers:

  • Synchronous (PyMongo, Java sync): Thread blocks; pool size often matches thread pool size
  • Asynchronous (Node.js, Motor): Non-blocking I/O; smaller pools suffice

Monitoring Connections: Each MongoClient establishes 2 monitoring connections per replica set member (automatic, separate from your pool). Formula: Total = (minPoolSize + 2) × replica members × app instances. Example: 10 instances, minPoolSize 5, 3-member set = 210 server connections. Always account for this when planning capacity.

Configuration Design

Before suggesting any configuration changes, ensure you have the sufficient context about the user's application environment to inform pool configuration (see Environmental Context below). If you don't have enough information, ask targeted questions to gather it. Ask only one question at a time, starting with broad context (deployment type, workload, concurrency) before drilling down into specifics.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
