I'm not familiar with mongodb beyond casually looking at the site this morning (which I liked) but I would guess that there is no equivalent in mongo because mongo does not aspire to provide both front and back end services, which couch does (hence couchapps and all that). There's probably an advantage to that; as someone else here remarked, the mongo interface looks more flexible and friendly (whereas with couch there is a stress on hardcoding views, etc). A potential advantage of the couch model would be that it allows you to encapsulate more behaviour into the server.
