What is the PuppyGraph MCP server?

Connect PuppyGraph to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. # PuppyGraph MCP Server Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for PuppyGraph, allowing Claude to query the graph using Gremlin and Cypher through Claude Desktop. ## Features - Connect to PuppyGraph instances using. The puppygraph mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

  • Connect to PuppyGraph instances using both Neo4j Bolt protocol (for Cypher) and WebSocket (for Gremlin)
  • Query graph data using both Gremlin and Cypher query languages
  • Retrieve graph structure and schema information from multiple endpoints
  • Works with Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible interfaces
  • Robust fallback mechanisms with multiple connection approaches
  • Graceful degradation with sample data when connections fail

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • puppygraph_query — Execute Gremlin or Cypher queries against PuppyGraph
  • puppygraph_schema — Get schema and structure information about the graph
  • puppygraph_status — Check PuppyGraph connection status
  • PUPPYGRAPH_SCHEMA_URL — URL of the PuppyGraph schema endpoint (default: http://localhost:8081/schemajson)
  • PUPPYGRAPH_SCHEMA_USERNAME — Username for PuppyGraph schema API authentication (default: puppygraph)
  • PUPPYGRAPH_SCHEMA_PASSWORD — Password for PuppyGraph schema API authentication (default: puppygraph123)
  • Troubleshooting — You can check connection status using the puppygraph_status tool at any time

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: PUPPYGRAPH_URL, PUPPYGRAPH_USERNAME, PUPPYGRAPH_PASSWORD, PUPPYGRAPH_DATABASE, PUPPYGRAPH_GREMLIN_URL, PUPPYGRAPH_GREMLIN_USERNAME, PUPPYGRAPH_GREMLIN_PASSWORD, PUPPYGRAPH_SCHEMA_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

  • Node.js 18+ - A running PuppyGraph instance (or fallback mode for testing)

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Where it fits

This sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. PuppyGraph's toolset — puppygraph_query, puppygraph_schema, puppygraph_status and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by puppygraph; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against PuppyGraph's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
