The mongoctl connect command is a convenience wrapper
around the mongo shell. The main conveniences are the ability to pass server or
cluster _ids to the connect command (e.g. mongoctl connect MyServer), and
support for standard MongoDB URIs as a way of specifying connection addresses.
Usage: connect [<options>] <db-address> [file names (ending in .js)]
Opens a mongo shell connection to the specified database. If a
cluster is specified command will connect to the primary server.
<db-address> can be one of:
(a) a mongodb URI (e.g. mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb)
(b) <server-id>/<db>
(c) <cluster-id>/<db> (will find and connect to primary)
Arguments:
<db-address> database addresses supported by mongoctl. Check docs
for more details.

--shell run the shell after executing files
--norc will not run the ".mongorc.js" file on start up
