I've installed mongodb using homebrew and its running as a service,
[~]$ brew services list
Name Status User File
mongodb-community started <User> ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist
postgresql started <User> ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
I can connect to the mongo shell and connect via compass, however when I connect via an application. using the local connection string I get the following,
error - MongoServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:27017
I've ran mongod for testing and I got the following,

from what I can tell everything mongodb wise is all setup so I'm not sure why I'm getting the error.
I'm using macos monterey and vscode.
@WernfriedDomscheit, got it working.
Had to change the config /opt/homebrew/etc/mongod.conf net block too.
net:
ipv6: true
port: 27017
bindIpAll: true
