MongoDB aggregation pipelines, indexing strategies, and connection pooling. Save this into .cursor/rules/mongodb.mdc in your project repository.
// MongoDB Guidelines
- Always create compound indexes matching equality-sort-range (ESR) rule on frequently queried fields.
- Prefer Aggregation Pipelines ($match -> $project -> $group) over multiple application-side round-trips.
- Use Mongoose or Prisma with strict schema validation to prevent schema drift.
- Maintain connection reuse across serverless functions with cached MongoClient instances.3. MongoDB Antigravity & Claude Code System Instructions
