Please raise any issues you encounter via the chat bubble in the bottom-right of the site, and we'll be happy to help.* *** ### Overview Our MongoDB integration allows you to import your data; allowing you to clean, transform, and ask questions via Chat Explore. {% hint style="danger" %} You must allow network traffic from the public IP address `54.197.189.139` in order to allow Akkio to access your data. {% endhint %} ### Importing Data To import data, first create a new project.

Create a new project from the homepage.

Select the MongoDB button.
Click "Connect Dataset" to add a new dataset.
Enter connection details for your database.
**Make sure your security settings allow us to connect to your database.** You'll need to add our IP Address, `54.197.189.139`, to your security settings so we can connect and pull your data in. To pull in your data, input the following: * **Hostname:** The hostname of your MongoDB instance (this looks like the URL). * **Database** The name of the database within your MongoDB instance that your table is inside. * **Username/Password:** Credentials for the database user to authenticate. This user must have read permissions for a table to import and write permissions to deploy. When complete, hit continue. Next enter **Table Name:** The name of the table to pull from.
This will run a connection test; if successful, you'll see the data loading screen. Data will take some time to import based on table size.
Once your data is done importing, you'll see it populate onto the screen.
Now, your data is loaded into Akkio and will function normally. If this is your first time connecting data, take a look at [Prepare](/akkio-docs/prepare-your-data/prepare.md) to get started. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.akkio.com/akkio-docs/integrations/mongodb-beta.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
