Neo4j Labs MCP Servers
Neo4j Labs
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.
They are actively developed and maintained, but we don’t provide any SLAs or guarantees around backwards compatibility and deprecation.
If you are looking for the official product Neo4j MCP server please find it here.
Overview
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol for managing context between large language models (LLMs) and external systems.
This lets you use Claude Desktop, or any other MCP Client (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI), to use natural language to accomplish things with Neo4j and your Aura account, e.g.:
- What is in this graph?
- Render a chart from the top products sold by frequency, total and average volume
- List my instances
- Create a new instance named mcp-test for Aura Professional with 4GB and Graph Data Science enabled
- Store the fact that I worked on the Neo4j MCP Servers today with Andreas and Oskar
Servers
mcp-neo4j-cypher - natural language to Cypher queries
