From what I found on MongoDB HomeBrew, to install only the Mongo Shell you should use:

brew tap mongodb/brew

After that, install the shell:

brew install mongosh

For reference, the example below is no longer recommended (deprecated in MongoDB 5.0 in 2021):

brew install mongodb-community-shell

You might want to install mongosh (MongoDB Shell) instead. The legacy mongo shell has been deprecated since MongoDB v5.0 and replaced by mongosh. Please refer to this answer.

Install mongosh via brew:

brew install mongosh

Start mongosh using 'ships' database on specified connection string:

mongosh mongodb://192.168.0.5:9999/ships
