### Description (declared)

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.neo4j/mcp -->

# Neo4j MCP

Neo4j MCP gives AI assistants and LLM-powered tools direct, structured access to your Neo4j graph database.
By implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it acts as a bridge between any MCP-compatible client, such as Claude, Cursor, or VS Code with MCP support, and your Neo4j instance.

## Features

- Explore your graph schema - discover node labels, relationship types, and property keys
- Let AI reason on your data model without prior knowledge
- Run Cypher queries - execute, read, and write queries against your database in response to natural language prompts
- Inspect and analyze data - retrieve nodes, relationships, and paths to answer questions, generate summaries, or feed data to other workflows

## Tools

- `get-schema` — introspect labels, relationship types, property keys
- `read-cypher` — execute read-only Cypher queries that do not modify database data, enforced via `EXPLAIN` and Neo4j's query-type classification. **Note:** custom procedures or functions incorrectly classified as read-only by Neo4j may bypass this check; ensuring correct classification is the responsibility of the procedure/function maintainer.
- `write-cypher` — execute write Cypher queries (disabled if `NEO4J_READ_ONLY=true`)
- `list-gds-procedures` — list available GDS procedures

## Installation

**Install with PyPI:**

```bash
pip install neo4j-mcp-server
```

Otherwise see [MCP documentation -> Installation](https://neo4j.com/docs/mcp/current/installation).
