This is the official GitHub Action for the MongoDB Atlas CLI, published on the GitHub Marketplace

Getting started

Run Atlas CLI Commands with GitHub Actions

This guide provides getting started instructions for the official Atlas CLI GitHub Action.

This Action allows you to run any Atlas CLI command in your own GitHub workflows. By default, this Action uses the latest version of the Atlas CLI. The version can be configured with the 'version' input parameter, but only the latest version is officially supported.

Complete the prerequisites

Before you begin, complete the following prerequisites:

1. Configure Atlas CLI API Keys for your organization or project.
2. Add the API Keys to the repository secrets.
3. Set the environment variables MONGODB_ATLAS_PUBLIC_API_KEY and MONGODB_ATLAS_PRIVATE_API_KEY to the Atlas CLI API Keys you configured. See Atlas CLI Environment Variables for all supported environment variables.

Configuration

To run CLI commands with this Action you can either use Atlas CLI commands from a bash shell (see Basic workflow below) or use configuration parameters to run predefined workflows. See action.yml for available inputs/outputs.

Example workflows

See test.yml for more examples.

Basic

This workflow installs the CLI and prints the CLI version.

on: [push]

name: Atlas CLI Action Sample

jobs:
  use-atlas-cli:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:
      - name: Setup AtlasCLI
        uses: mongodb/atlas-github-action@v0.2.0
      - name: Use AtlasCLI
        shell: bash
        run: atlas --version # Print Atlas CLI Version

Setup and Teardown

This workflow sets up a project and creates a free cluster. It retrieves the connection string which can be used to connect to the new cluster. Afterwards, it deletes the project and cluster.

on: [push]

name: Atlas CLI Action Sample

env:
  MONGODB_ATLAS_PUBLIC_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.PUBLIC_API_KEY }}
  MONGODB_ATLAS_PRIVATE_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_API_KEY }}
  MONGODB_ATLAS_ORG_ID: ${{ secrets.ORG_ID }} # default organisation ID
  MONGODB_ATLAS_PROJECT_ID: ${{ secrets.PROJECT_ID }} # default project ID

jobs:
  setup:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Setup AtlasCLI and create a project
        id: create-project
        uses: mongodb/atlas-github-action@v0.2.0
        with:
          create-project-name: test-setup-project
      - name: Run setup
        id: setup
        uses: mongodb/atlas-github-action@v0.2.0
        with:
          run-setup: true
          project-id: ${{ steps.create-project.outputs.create-project-id }}
          cluster-name: test-cluster
          username: test-user
          password: test-password
      - name: Retrieve Connection String
        shell: bash
        run: |
          echo "${{ steps.setup.outputs.connection-string }}"
      - name: Teardown
        uses: mongodb/atlas-github-action@v0.2.0
        with:
          delete-project-id: ${{ steps.create-project.outputs.create-project-id }}
          delete-cluster-name: test-cluster

Limitations
