You can try the Mongo-Express (a web-based tool). It is available here: https://github.com/andzdroid/mongo-express

However, you need to upgrade the mongodb-nodejs library to be at least (1.4.29) according to this: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/release-notes/3.0-scram/

I tried and it worked for my case. You can find below useful command for that:

npm install mongo-express cd node-modules/mongo-express

Change config.default.js file to config.js and update it to include your databse connection (e.g. username, password, connection's url, etc...)

Edit package.jon file and change the version of mongodb to "~1.4.29"

Run: npm update

To start the web app: execute command "node app" and the web site will be available at http://localhost:8081/
