Its not clear from the [documenation](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-mongodb3) of the mongodb3 node that you can dynamically pass a URI for the db. maybe its not supported.

The node hasnt been updated for more than 3 years and very recently another user was getting errors with the aggregation option of the same node ([forum post](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/problem-use-aggregate-with-mongodb3/64191))

I did some tests with the more recent and updated [node-red-node-mongodb](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-mongodb)  
I think you should use this instead
