Set Up

Install uv Python Package Manager

The Neo4j Memory MCP Server is written in Python and managed by uv. Follow the directions on this page to properly install.

Neo4j Database

Create a Neo4j database instance by either

• Navigating to the Neo4j Aura Console to create a cloud hosted Neo4j Aura instance
• Downloading Neo4j Desktop and creating a local Neo4j instance

Claude Desktop

Download Claude Desktop

• navigate to Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config
• Add the Neo4j Memory MCP server to the config file

You may replace the config values with your own database credentials

        "NEO4J_DATABASE": "neo4j"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Navigate to Settings -> General -> Claude Settings -> Configure
• In the personal preferences section - paste this text:

Follow these steps for each interaction:

1. Memory Retrieval:
   - Always begin your chat by saying only "Remembering..." and retrieve all relevant information from your knowledge graph
   - Always refer to your knowledge graph as your "memory"

2. Memory Update:
   - If any new information was gathered during the interaction, update your memory as follows:
     a) Create entities for recurring organizations, people, and significant events
     b) Connect them to the current entities using relations
     b) Store facts about them as observations

This text is a modified version of the system prompt Anthropic recommends for their memory MCP server.

Demo

Begin a conversation with Claude Desktop.

Each interaction should be automatically logged in the Neo4j database you’ve configured.

These memories may be used between different conversations with Claude and even accessed by other clients such as Cursor or Windsurf, if they are configured with the same Neo4j instance.

Example Knowledge Graph

This knowledge graph contains the semantic memories of our conversation.
