# MongoDB
**FastAPI Users** provides the necessary tools to work with MongoDB databases thanks to [mongodb/motor](https://github.com/mongodb/motor) package for full async support.
## Setup database connection and collection
Let's create a MongoDB connection and instantiate a collection.
```py hl_lines="5 6 7 8"
{!./src/db_mongodb.py!}
```
You can choose any name for the database and the collection.
## Create the database adapter
The database adapter of **FastAPI Users** makes the link between your database configuration and the users logic. Create it like this.
```py hl_lines="14"
{!./src/db_mongodb.py!}
```
!!! info
The database adapter will automatically create a [unique index](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/index-unique/) on `id` and `email`.
!!! warning
**FastAPI Users** will use its defined [`id` UUID-string](../model.md) as unique identifier for the user, rather than the builtin MongoDB `_id`.
## Next steps
We will now configure an [authentication method](../authentication/index.md).
