A small utility (v0.1.0, last updated 2016) that converts MongoDB shell connection strings from Atlas into a standard MongoDB URL. Maintained by MongoDB-js, it parses shell commands like `mongo "mongodb://..." --ssl --username user` and outputs a connection URL with parameters. Known limitations: requires double-quoted URI, ignores password (replaces with PASSWORD), does not support --hostname/--port, and only works when the URL contains a query string. Not actively developed; considered stable for its narrow use case.
