      Currently MCP server tools do not support view creation.  There's no createView tool, and createCollection does not support a view option in MCP 

      https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/views/create-view/

      Using create-collection with View parameter results in an error

      MCP error -32602: Input validation error: Invalid arguments for tool create-collection: Unrecognized keys: "pipeline", "viewOn" 

      Using views with search and vector search indexes covers a variety of use cases for MongoDB Search and Vector Search. Primary use cases:

      • partially index collections
      • support incompatible data types and data models
      • concatenate fields for auto-embedding

      Adding view creation support to MCP server would unlock customers to use agents with MongoDB more seamlessly.
