I run MongoDB docker container on my local computer and when I try to connect to MongoDB container without specifying database name, it works fine.
With following command, I managed to connect to MongoDB.

$ mongo "mongodb://username@127.0.0.1:27017"

But when I try to connect with database name, it will return following error.

$ mongo "mongodb://username@127.0.0.1:27017/dbname"

MongoDB shell version v4.2.0
Enter password: 
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/dbname?compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
2021-02-25T00:26:09.511+0900 E  QUERY    [js] Error: Authentication failed. :
connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:341:17
@(connect):2:6
2021-02-25T00:26:09.515+0900 F  -        [main] exception: connect failed
2021-02-25T00:26:09.515+0900 E  -        [main] exiting with code 1

I thought it might be because database doesn't exist yet, so I tried with database which already exist but same result.

And this is my local environment.
MacOS version 11.2.1
MongoDB shell version v4.2.0
mongo official docker image version 4.0.4

Add your password right after the username string, if you dont have a password leave the username out of the connectionstring.

With password

mongodb://username:password@localhost:27017/dbname

Without password

mongodb://localhost:27017/dbname
