From what I found on MongoDB HomeBrew, to install only the Mongo Shell you should use:

brew tap mongodb/brew

After that, install the shell:

brew install mongodb-community-shell

You might want to install mongosh (MongoDB Shell) instead. The legacy mongo shell has been deprecated since MongoDB v5.0 and replaced by mongosh. Please refer to this answer.
