From the repository
Set up the server by navigating to mcp-mongo-project, install dependencies, create a .env file with MONGODB_URI and MONGODB_NAME, then start with npm start. Set up the client by navigating to client-side, install dependencies, create a .env with GEMINI_API_KEY, and run node index.js. The client connects to the server via Server-Sent Events (SSE) and lets you chat with Gemini to perform MongoDB operations.
