      Context

      Users configuring MongoClient from environment variables or .env files today do it by hand, with no validation or type coercion. Design gist: https://gist.github.com/blink1073/0d8cd1af7934eb6e0902603cb350068f

      Definition of done

      An optional pymongo[pydantic-settings] extra is available that provides a typed, validated settings model (built on pydantic-settings) for configuring MongoClient/AsyncMongoClient from environment variables or .env files. The extra is opt-in and adds no hard dependency to core PyMongo.

      Pitfalls

      Avoid colliding with the existing internal pymongo/synchronous/settings.py and pymongo/asynchronous/settings.py modules, which are unrelated. Keep the field set curated rather than mirroring every MongoClient option, to limit future maintenance burden as options evolve.
