Use custom authentication rather than membership database in Web API 2

I am creating an asp.net Web API 2 project which will contain services that will be accessed by a variety of client types. (iOS, android, web) I would like to use tokens.

I have a user/password store in MongoDB, and would like to authenticate against this, rather than using the membership database which is the default when setting up a new Web API 2 project and selecting "Individual User Accounts" as the "authentication" option.

What would be the best approach here?
