Connect with a BI Tool
Note
To connect to your federated database instance with the MongoDB Shell, see Connect from the MongoDB Shell.
To connect to your federated database instance with a BI tool, you can use a custom connector with its associated and officially supported BI tool, or a standalone driver to integrate with a BI tool of your choice.
Custom Connectors
MongoDB supports and regularly updates the following custom Atlas SQL connectors. To ensure a successful connection and support for the full range of Atlas SQL capabilities, use one of the following custom connectors with its associated BI tool:
Standalone Drivers

MongoDB can't guarantee that all BI tools are fully supported.
MongoDB provides the Atlas SQL standalone JDBC and ODBC drivers for experimentation and custom integration with SQL-92 dialect-based third-party BI tools that support a generic ODBC or JDBC driver connection. Use the type of driver that your BI tool specifies:
