Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-neo4j-cypher -- uvx mcp-neo4j-cypher
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-neo4j-cypher": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-neo4j-cypher"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

args = ["mcp-neo4j-cypher"]

      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NEO4J_URI (Neo4j connection URI), NEO4J_USERNAME (Neo4j username), NEO4J_PASSWORD (Neo4j password), NEO4J_DATABASE (Neo4j database name), NEO4J_NAMESPACE (Tool namespace prefix), NEO4J_RESPONSE_TOKEN_LIMIT (Maximum tokens for read query responses), NEO4J_READ_TIMEOUT (Timeout in seconds for read queries), NEO4J_READ_ONLY (Allow only read-only queries (true/false)), NEO4J_SCHEMA_SAMPLE_SIZE (Schema sample size). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Neo4j Cypher — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Neo4j Cypher?
MCP Neo4j Cypher runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-neo4j-cypher was installed 7 583 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Neo4j Cypher?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-neo4j-cypher straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Neo4j Cypher?
The pypi package mcp-neo4j-cypher was installed 7 583 times in the last week. Week over week that is +5%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Neo4j Cypher open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 984 stars on GitHub and 16 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
