# MongoDB Execute

The MongoDB Execute step connects to a MongoDB cluster and executes Mongo shell-style commands. The commands can:

* Be statically defined.
* Have wildcards substituted with data from incoming rows.
* Be defined in a field on incoming rows.

The following security providers are supported in this step through the MongoDB server:

* SCRAM-SHA-1/SCRAM-SHA-256
* LDAP
* Kerberos
* X509

This step features two tabs as described in the [Options](/pdia-data-integration/10.2-data-integration/pdi-transformation-steps-reference-overview/mongodb-execute/options-mongodb-execute.md) topic.
