Answer 1

if it is cluster MongoDB then you need to add your current IP to the cluster, to add your current IP address you need to complete few steps below-

step 1- go to login page of Mongodb and login with valid credential - https://cloud.mongodb.com/user#/atlas/login
step 2- CLick Network Access from left sidebar under Security Section
Step 3 - Click Add IP Address
Step 4 - Click Add Current IP Address or Allow Connection From Any Where
now try to connect - npm start

and for Local MongoDB use mongo String like "mongodb+srv://username:pass%40ord@clastername-blqnk.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority"

password must be encoded like example string
