Though actually the plugin does work when using it with the "lookup" syntax.

The tasks in the plugin docs should be replaced with this:

 tasks:

    - set_fact:

        entry: "{{ lookup('mongodb', mongodb_parameters) }}"

    - debug: msg="Mongo has already started with the following PID [{{ 
entry.pid }}]"
