Connects Claude to Neo4j graph databases for Cypher queries, node/relationship management, and graph exploration.

A suite of Neo4j Labs MCP servers: mcp-neo4j-cypher (natural language to read/write Cypher against your database), mcp-neo4j-memory (knowledge-graph memory stored in Neo4j), mcp-neo4j-cloud-aura-api (manage Aura instances), and mcp-neo4j-data-modeling (design and validate graph data models). Maintained by Neo4j's Field GenAI team with no SLA or backwards-compatibility guarantees; the official product MCP server is at neo4j/mcp.

Reviewer notes

Reviewed review. These are observations, not a security certification.

Vendor-official MCP server.

Vendor-official MCP server. Hosted or maintained by the vendor.

Things to check

Requires Claude to construct valid Cypher queries; syntax errors or logic mistakes in generated queries can corrupt or lock the database. Performance degrades significantly on very large graph traversals without careful query optimization, and Claude has no built-in cost awareness for expensive operations.
