Model Context Protocol with Neo4j

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

The mcp-neo4j project implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to facilitate interaction between large language models (LLMs) and Neo4j, allowing users to manage context in queries and responses.

Users can utilize MCP clients, such as Claude Desktop, to perform natural language queries to interact with their Neo4j graph databases and Aura accounts. For instance, users can ask, 'What is in this graph?'

  • Implements the Model Context Protocol for efficient context management. - Allows issuing Cypher queries through natural language. - Enables memory storage in Neo4j and as JSON files.
  1. Queries made in natural language converted to Cypher for Neo4j.
  2. Using knowledge graphs for memory management in applications.
  3. Seamless integration for applications utilizing LLMs and graph databases.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Neo4j MCP Clients & Servers in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-neo4j-neo4j-contrib"
      ]
    }
  }
}
