What is Neo4j MCP Server?
The Neo4j MCP Server is a tool that allows you to interact with a Neo4j graph database using the Model Context Protocol. This enables integration with applications like Cursor and Claude Desktop, allowing you to execute Cypher queries and manage your graph database directly from these environments.
How to use Neo4j MCP Server?
The server can be run directly using npx neo4j-mcpserver or installed globally with npm install -g neo4j-mcpserver. You need to configure the Neo4j connection details using environment variables (either a single NEO4J_CONNECTION string or separate NEO4J_URI, NEO4J_USER, and NEO4J_PASSWORD variables). For Cursor, you need to add a new MCP server in the settings, specifying the command to run the server with your Neo4j credentials.
