MongoDB Error Failed to update data source credentials: Missing client library for datasource

From Power BI Desktop, I am able to connect to a MongoDB Atlas database using the new MongoDB named connector. However, once the report is published to the Power BI service, I am not able to schedule refreshes. When I enter the database credentials, I receive the following error:

When I attempt to configure the connector in the Power BI service through Settings > Manage connections and gateways, the Save button remains disabled even after entering valid values for the required fields.
