[Python] How to define connection and migration parameters in mongoengine_migrate CLI?

I am using mongoengine_migrate for handling migrations in MongoEngine. The CLI (cli.py) has several parameters related to the database connection and migration settings:

Problem: I want to properly define and configure these parameters for mongoengine_migrate, including:

• Setting the MongoDB URI
• Defining the migrations directory
• Any additional params

Questions:

• Where should I define these settings? (e.g., environment variables, a config file, or cli.py?)
• What is the best approach to manage these parameters dynamically?
• How does mongoengine_migrate load the database connection settings?

Reference:

Any guidance on setting up mongoengine_migrate correctly would be appreciated. Thanks!
