# Neo4j MCP Server
A Neo4j MCP server implementation for managing graph database operations through the Model Context Protocol.
🔌 Compatible with both Cursor and Claude Desktop!
## Quick Start
You can run the server directly using npx:
```bash
# Using a single connection string
NEO4J_CONNECTION=neo4j+s://your-instance.databases.neo4j.io,neo4j,your-password npx neo4j-mcpserver
# Or using separate environment variables
NEO4J_URI=neo4j+s://your-instance.databases.neo4j.io NEO4J_USER=neo4j NEO4J_PASSWORD=your-password npx neo4j-mcpserver
```
## Installation
If you prefer to install the package globally:
```bash
npm install -g neo4j-mcpserver
```
Then run it:
```bash
NEO4J_CONNECTION=neo4j+s://your-instance.databases.neo4j.io,neo4j,your-password neo4j-mcpserver
```
## Environment Variables
You can provide the Neo4j connection details in two ways:
1. Using a single connection string:
```bash
NEO4J_CONNECTION=<uri>,<user>,<password>
```
2. Using separate environment variables:
```bash
NEO4J_URI=<your-uri>
NEO4J_USER=<your-user>
NEO4J_PASSWORD=<your-password>
```
You can also use a `.env` file in your project root:
```env
NEO4J_URI=neo4j+s://your-instance.databases.neo4j.io
NEO4J_USER=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=your-password
```
