How to Set Up and Use Neo4j GenAI Tools
The Neo4j GenAI MCP Tools server connects AI assistants to a Neo4j graph database using the official mcp-neo4j-cypher package. It exposes two core tools — schema inspection and Cypher query execution — allowing Claude, GitHub Copilot, and other LLM clients to explore and query knowledge graphs using natural language, backed by the official Neo4j GraphAcademy course.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or later with uv installed (`pip install uv`)
- A running Neo4j instance (Neo4j AuraDB free tier, Neo4j Desktop, or self-hosted)
- NEO4J_URI, NEO4J_USERNAME, and NEO4J_PASSWORD for your database
- Claude Desktop, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, or another MCP-compatible client
Provision a Neo4j database
Create a Neo4j AuraDB free instance at console.neo4j.io, or install Neo4j Desktop. Note the connection URI (e.g., neo4j+s://xxxx.databases.neo4j.io), username, and password.
Test the server with uvx
Run the mcp-neo4j-cypher server directly using uvx with your credentials as environment variables.
NEO4J_URI="neo4j+s://your-db.databases.neo4j.io" \
NEO4J_USERNAME="neo4j" \
NEO4J_PASSWORD="your-password" \
uvx mcp-neo4j-cypherAdd to Claude Desktop configuration
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and add the Neo4j server with your credentials in the env block.
Verify schema access
After connecting, ask Claude to retrieve the database schema to confirm the connection is working.

Natural language queries Claude will translate to Cypher and run against your graph.
- "Show me the schema of my Neo4j database."
- "Find all Person nodes connected to a Movie released after 2010."
- "Count the relationships of each type in the graph."
- "List the top 5 most connected nodes and their labels."
- "Run a Cypher query to find all paths between node A and node B."Troubleshooting Neo4j GenAI Tools
Connection refused or timeout when connecting to Neo4j
Verify the NEO4J_URI is correct and includes the port (7687 by default). For AuraDB, use neo4j+s:// (encrypted). Ensure your IP is not blocked by AuraDB firewall rules.
Authentication failed with provided credentials
Double-check NEO4J_USERNAME and NEO4J_PASSWORD. AuraDB passwords are shown only once at creation; reset the password in the AuraDB console if you have lost it.
uvx not found on PATH
Install uv first: `pip install uv` or `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`. Then confirm with `uvx --version`.
