FastAPI Mongo Admin

FastAPI Mongo Admin is a Django-inspired, server-rendered admin framework for FastAPI and MongoDB. It provides a full ModelAdmin configuration API, pluggable authentication, list filters, bulk actions, Pydantic-driven forms, and support for both async (Motor) and sync (PyMongo) database backends.
