Run mongo-express in Even

Even Stacks launches mongo-express as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find mongo-express in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8558, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://mongo-express.localhost.

Drive mongo-express with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate mongo-express directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, drive its UI in the browser pane, and read its logs. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up mongo-express and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Open http://localhost:8558 to browse MongoDB databases, view and edit collections, and run ad-hoc queries via the web UI. This container is UI-only and connects to a separate MongoDB instance; all data lives in the mongo container's volume. Create databases and insert documents directly from the interface.
