The project connects MCP-compatible AI clients such as Claude, Cursor, and VS Code with a Neo4j instance so agents can inspect graph schema, run Cypher, and retrieve or modify graph data under the server's configured permissions. ### Project history The package belongs to the post-MCP wave of database tooling. Neo4j's developer guide dates Anthropic's introduction of Model Context Protocol to November 2024, and the neo4j/mcp GitHub repository was created on 2025-08-20. Its release stream had reached v1.5.3 by 2026-06-11. ### Adoption history Adoption is early and strongly tied to AI-agent workflows rather than traditional database administration. The repository API showed 267 stars and 54 forks on the 2026-07-01 request. The Homebrew formula API snapshot generated on 2026-07-01 reported 472 installs over 365 days and 53 installs over 30 days. ### How it is used Package users install neo4j-mcp when they want an MCP host to expose a Neo4j database to an assistant. The practical setup is environment-variable driven: point the server at a Neo4j URI, username, password, database, optional read-only mode, and schema sample sizing, then register it in the client's MCP configuration. ### Why package nerds care The package is significant less as a standalone CLI and more as a marker that graph databases joined the MCP tool ecosystem quickly. Its interesting operational detail is permissioning: read-only Cypher can be enabled for safer exploration, while write-Cypher is gated by configuration. ### Timeline - 2024-11: Model Context Protocol introduced by Anthropic, according to Neo4j's MCP developer guide. - 2025-08-20: neo4j/mcp repository created. - 2026-06-11: v1.5.3 release published. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew API snapshot listed neo4j-mcp 1.5.3. ### Related projects - Neo4j - Model Context Protocol - Cypher - Neo4j Graph Data Science - APOC ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** neo4j-mcp - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [MCP tool packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/mcp-tools/) - Mentions MCP or Model Context Protocol. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [mcphost](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcphost/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai, ai-tools, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [mcpm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcpm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai, ai-tools, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [gitea-mcp-server](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gitea-mcp-server/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai, ai-tools, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [github-mcp-server](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/github-mcp-server/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai, ai-tools, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [mcptools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcptools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [slack-mcp-server](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/slack-mcp-server/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [hyper-mcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hyper-mcp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [mcp-atlassian](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcp-atlassian/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai, ai-tools, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [mcp-publisher](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcp-publisher/) - Local metadata places this package in an adjacent workflow.
