You need to export the port you want to use in your docker command. e.g.

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:27017:27017 --name some-mongo -d mongo

This opens the port of the container on your host machine.

You need to find the IP address where the Docker container is running. On Mac docker runs in the background inside a Linux VM that has its own IP. Thus localhost will not work. To find the IP, run docker-machine env default and set this IP in the Server field.

for those on windows kindly check in task manager and make sure you don't have a local installation of mongo db server running then use localhost in address/connection string
