It typically includes the necessary credentials (username and password), the database cluster URL, and other parameters to define the connection behavior.
Basic structure of a MongoDB connection string
mongodb://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>?<options>
Your fresh standalone installation likely has no access control set up, meaning there are no authentication requirements for connecting.
The connection string would typically be simple, without user credentials.
mongodb://localhost:27017
If access control is enabled, you need to include a username, password, and the authentication source database in the connection string.
For example:
mongodb://username:password@localhost:27017/?authSource=admin
If you're already connected via the shell or terminal, you can use the `db.getMongo()` command to retrieve the connection string.
