+## MongoDBAtlasLocalContainer
+
+The MongoDB Atlas Local image combines the MongoDB database engine with MongoT for Atlas Search.
+
+Choose an image from the [container registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/mongodb/mongodb-atlas-local) and substitute `IMAGE`.
+The connection string returned by `getConnectionString()` does not include `directConnection=true`; pass `directConnection: true` to your MongoDB client options instead.
