title: How to connect to db with mongo shell using MONGOLAB_URI?
body: <p>On heroku everything what is needed to connect to db is stored in <a href="http://docs.mongodb.org/v2.6/reference/connection-string/" rel="nofollow"><code>MONGOLAB_URI</code></a> variable. But it is used primary by mongo drivers - not humans.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ heroku config
  === app Config Vars
  LANG:                     en_US.UTF-8
  MONGOLAB_URI:             mongodb://heroku_app123456:2fsf445D@ds039880.mongolab.com:39880/heroku_app123456
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there some fast method how to connect to db using just mongo shell?</p>
