Intro

neo4j-contrib/mcp-neo4j bundles Neo4j MCP servers (Cypher, memory, Aura API); verified 946★ and documents stdio/HTTP/SSE plus timeouts and token limits.

Best for: Graph-heavy teams who want natural-language Cypher querying and a persistent knowledge-graph memory via MCP

Works with: Claude Desktop and other MCP clients; Docker for HTTP transport deployments; Neo4j Aura or self-managed Neo4j

Setup time: 15-35 minutes

Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 946 stars · 243 forks · pushed 2026-04-10.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-backed entrypoint: docker run -p 8000:8000 mcp-neo4j-cypher:latest.

Main

  • Treat schema access as the first success metric: the Cypher server exposes schema tools and enforces read timeouts (docs mention a 30s default).

  • Use token limits to prevent huge query payloads from blowing up context; the Cypher server docs describe truncation using tiktoken for read responses.

  • Run multiple servers with namespacing when you have multiple Neo4j instances (dev/prod or multiple graphs) to avoid tool-name collisions.

Source-backed notes

  • Root README lists multiple servers: mcp-neo4j-cypher, mcp-neo4j-memory, mcp-neo4j-cloud-aura-api, and mcp-neo4j-data-modeling.
  • Docs describe transport modes (stdio/SSE/HTTP) and show --transport http --host ... --port ... --path /api/mcp/ examples.
  • The Cypher server docs include read timeouts (default 30s) and response token limits for read_neo4j_cypher.

FAQ

  • Do I need APOC?: Yes for schema inspection: the README says APOC must be installed/enabled for schema tools to work.
  • Is this the official Neo4j MCP server?: No — the root README calls these Neo4j Labs servers and links to the official product repo separately.
  • How do I keep query results manageable?: Use read timeouts + token limits as documented in the Cypher server docs.
