How to do a mongo restore with Atlas URI

I am trying to do a mongorestore of a few collections . I am trying to use the Atlas URI to do this and it throws an error saying that positional arguments not allowed: [mongodb+srv://hostname.mongodb.net] When I try to connect with a mongo client it works fine. However not the mongorestore or mongo import. In short mongorestore -d dbname --username foo --password bar "mongodb+srv://hostname.mongodb.net" /folderwithbsons/ doesn't work while the below works mongo -d dbname --username foo --password bar "mongodb+srv://hostname.mongodb.net"
