Hi Brian - if your question is about Node.js on App Engine Standard: currently you cannot connect to private Compute Engine IP addresses, though this is something we're working on (sorry, no timeline, I just want to let you know it's on our radar). You should be able to connect to a public IP address just fine. I've not done this with Mongo specifically, but I have with Redis running on Compute Engine.
Perhaps your Compute Engine firewall is preventing the connection?
