Neo4j MCP (Aura API)
What is Neo4j MCP (Aura API)
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized communication protocol designed for managing interactions between large language models (LLMs) and external systems, enabling intuitive, natural language queries and commands.
Use cases
MCP can be used to interact with Neo4j databases through natural language, allowing users to query graph data, visualize charts, manage cloud instances, and store information in a knowledge graph seamlessly.
How to use
Users can utilize MCP Clients such as Claude Desktop, VS Code, or Cursor to send natural language requests to Neo4j’s MCP servers, which will translate these requests into relevant Cypher queries or manage cloud capabilities within Neo4j Aura.
Key features
MCP includes several features such as converting natural language to Cypher queries, storing knowledge graphs within Neo4j, and managing cloud instances of Neo4j Aura, enabling a comprehensive approach to working with graph data and AI integration.
Where to use
MCP is applicable in environments where seamless communication between language models and graph databases is needed, particularly in development tools, data analytics, and knowledge management systems that utilize Neo4j and its cloud services.

Neo4j MCP Clients & Servers
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), 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
Get database schema for a configured database and execute generated read and write Cypher queries on that database.
mcp-neo4j-memory - knowledge graph memory stored in Neo4j
Store and retrieve entities and relationships from your personal knowledge graph in a local or remote Neo4j instance.
Access that information over different sessions, conversations, clients.
mcp-neo4j-cloud-aura-api - Neo4j Aura cloud service management API
Manage your Neo4j Aura instances directly from the comfort of your AI assistant chat.
Create and destroy instances, find instances by name, scale them up and down and enable features.
mcp-neo4j-data-modeling - interactive graph data modeling and visualization
Create, validate, and visualize Neo4j graph data models. Allows for model import/export from Arrows.app.
