Please refer to this forums post:-

    You can view all data that used to be under repository folder and know is in your mongo database.

    You can use wide range of tools to connect to your database. My choice is RoboMongo :)

Also please have a look this this community article:- http://cq-ops.tumblr.com/post/87307885504/useful-mongodb-commands-for-aem-6

Even when AEM uses Mongo - the data is still in the JCR. Why not use standard APIs like JCR SQL or Query Builder?

If you are serious about using MongoDB with AEM, then you should get formal training with MongoDB, it's not recommended to proceed into production without it, you would also require enterprise support from MongoDB.

There is an online course with MongoDB University for AEM [0] which provides a good overview of how MongoDB stores the backend data for AEM. I have completed the course myself and four it very good. It is about to start again on the 11th of October.
