MCP Neo4j Cypher runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 9 151 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 9 Sep 2026.
A simple Neo4j MCP server that allows you to run Cypher queries against a Neo4j database.
What the code does
We read the source, 3 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
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.
ENV NEO4J_PASSWORD="password"

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.
