Model Context Protocol with Neo4j

What is Neo4j MCP Clients & Servers

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
