Production‑ready MongoDB checkpointer for LangGraph. A lightweight implementation of BaseCheckpointSaver that persists checkpoints and writes in MongoDB. Works out‑of‑the‑box with LangGraph’s serde: pass a serde for efficient typed storage, or omit it to store legacy shapes for compatibility. Ships with ESM/CJS builds and TypeScript types.

pnpm add langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb
# or: npm i langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb

Peer deps you likely already have:

• @langchain/langgraph
• @langchain/core
• mongodb

TypeScript (ESM) — simple usage (no serde):

import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb'
import type { BaseCheckpointSaver } from '@langchain/langgraph'
import { MongoCheckpointSaver } from 'langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb'

let saver: BaseCheckpointSaver | null = null

export async function getCheckpointer(): Promise<BaseCheckpointSaver> {
  if (saver) return saver
  const dbName = process.env.MONGODB_DB!
  const uri = process.env.MONGODB_URI!
  const client = await MongoClient.connect(uri)
  saver = new MongoCheckpointSaver(client, dbName)
  return saver
}

export async function closeCheckpointer() {
  if (!saver) return
  // if you kept a client reference, close it here
  saver = null
}

TypeScript (ESM) — with a custom serde:

import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb'
import { MongoCheckpointSaver } from 'langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb'

const serde = {
  async dumpsTyped(v) {
    const buf = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(v))
    return ['json', new Uint8Array(buf)] as const
  },
  async loadsTyped(_t, b) {
    return JSON.parse(Buffer.from(b).toString('utf8'))
  },
}

const client = await MongoClient.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI!)
const saver = new MongoCheckpointSaver(client, process.env.MONGODB_DB!, serde)
// provide `saver` to your LangGraph app

JavaScript (CJS) — minimal:

const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb')
const { MongoCheckpointSaver } = require('langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb')

(async () => {
  const client = await MongoClient.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI)
  const saver = new MongoCheckpointSaver(client, process.env.MONGODB_DB)
  // use saver
})()

• new MongoCheckpointSaver(client: MongoClient, dbName?: string, serde?: any)
  • Uses collections: checkpoints, checkpoint_writes, checkpoint_versions
• put(config, checkpoint, metadata, newVersions) → stores a checkpoint
• putWrites(config, writes, taskId) → stores pending writes
• get(config) → latest checkpoint
• getTuple(config) → CheckpointTuple with pendingWrites
• list(config, options) → async iterator of checkpoints
• deleteThread(thread_id, checkpoint_ns?) → clears a thread namespace
• clearAll() → wipes all collections

Notes:

• Provide the LangGraph serde you use in your app; this saver persists typed bytes and falls back to legacy shape for compatibility.
• Ensure your RunnableConfig has configurable.thread_id and configurable.checkpoint_ns.
