Neo4j graph database server (schema + read/write-cypher) and separate graph database backed memory
If you want an AI assistant working directly with Neo4j, the neo4j mcp server is the bridge. Neo4j graph database server (schema + read/write-cypher) and separate graph database backed memory.
These MCP servers are a part of the Neo4j Labs program. They are developed and maintained by the Neo4j Field GenAI team and welcome contributions from the larger developer community. These servers are frequently updated with new and experimental features, but are not supported by the Neo4j product team.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol for managing context between large language models (LLMs) and external systems.
Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
The server reads 4 environment variables: NEO4J_TRANSPORT, NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_HOST, NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_PORT, NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Database servers turn schema archaeology and ad-hoc reporting into conversation, which is why they tend to be the second or third server people install. Neo4j sits in that group. Worth comparing against the other databases servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| NEO4J_TRANSPORT | Configuration value read at startup. | Optional |
| NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_HOST | Endpoint or connection string the server talks to. | Optional |
| NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_PORT | Configuration value read at startup. | Optional |
| NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_PATH | Filesystem location the server is allowed to use. | Optional |
