A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides tools for managing Neo4j Aura database instances through the Neo4j Aura API.
This server allows you to create, monitor, and manage Neo4j Aura instances directly through Claude, making it easy to provision and maintain your graph database infrastructure.
Authentication with the Neo4j Aura API requires:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
You can obtain these credentials from the Neo4j Aura console, see the documentation of the Aura API
Here is the API Specification
The server offers these core tools:
-
list_instances- List all Neo4j Aura database instances
- No input required
- Returns: List of all instances with their details
-
get_instance_details- Get details for a specific instance or multiple instances by ID
- Input:
instance_ids(string or array): ID of the instance to retrieve, or array of instance IDs
- Returns: Detailed information about the instance(s)
-
get_instance_by_name- Find an instance by name
- Input:
name(string): Name of the instance to find
- Returns: Instance details if found
-
create_instance- Create a new Neo4j Aura database instance
- Input:
tenant_id(string): ID of the tenant/project where the instance will be createdname(string): Name for the new instancememory(integer): Memory allocation in GBregion(string): Region for the instance (e.g., 'us-east-1')version(string): Neo4j version (e.g., '5.15')type(string, optional): Instance type (enterprise or professional)vector_optimized(boolean, optional): Whether the instance is optimized for vector operations
- Returns: Created instance details
-
update_instance_name- Update the name of an instance
- Input:
instance_id(string): ID of the instance to updatename(string): New name for the instance
- Returns: Updated instance details
-
update_instance_memory- Update the memory allocation of an instance
- Input:
instance_id(string): ID of the instance to updatememory(integer): New memory allocation in GB
- Returns: Updated instance details
-
update_instance_vector_optimization- Update the vector optimization setting of an instance
- Input:
instance_id(string): ID of the instance to updatevector_optimized(boolean): Whether the instance should be optimized for vector operations
- Returns: Updated instance details
-

- Input:
instance_id(string): ID of the instance to pause
- Returns: Instance status information

tenant_id(string): ID of the tenant/project where the instance existsinstance_id(string): ID of the instance to delete
- Returns: Deletion status information
-
list_tenants- List all Neo4j Aura tenants/projects
- No input required
- Returns: List of all tenants with their details
-
get_tenant_details- Get details for a specific tenant/project
- Input:
tenant_id(string): ID of the tenant/project to retrieve

pip install mcp-neo4j-aura-managerAdd the server to your claude_desktop_config.json:
"mcpServers": {
"neo4j-aura": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"mcp-neo4j-aura-manager@0.3.0",
"--client-id",
"<your-client-id>",
"--client-secret",
"<your-client-secret>"
]
}
}Alternatively, you can set environment variables:
"mcpServers": {
"neo4j-aura": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [ "mcp-neo4j-aura-manager@0.3.0" ],
"env": {
"NEO4J_AURA_CLIENT_ID": "<your-client-id>",
"NEO4J_AURA_CLIENT_SECRET": "<your-client-secret>"
}
}
}"mcpServers": {
"neo4j-aura": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-e", "NEO4J_AURA_CLIENT_ID=${NEO4J_AURA_CLIENT_ID}",
"-e", "NEO4J_AURA_CLIENT_SECRET=${NEO4J_AURA_CLIENT_SECRET}",
"mcp-neo4j-aura-manager:0.3.0"
]
}
}The server supports HTTP transport for web-based deployments and microservices:
# Basic HTTP mode (defaults: host=127.0.0.1, port=8000, path=/mcp/)
mcp-neo4j-aura-manager --transport http
# Custom HTTP configuration
mcp-neo4j-aura-manager --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --path /api/mcp/Environment variables for HTTP configuration:
export NEO4J_TRANSPORT=http
export NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0
export NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_PORT=8080
export NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_PATH=/api/mcp/
mcp-neo4j-aura-managerThe server supports three transport modes:
- STDIO (default): Standard input/output for local tools and Claude Desktop
- SSE: Server-Sent Events for web-based deployments
- HTTP: Streamable HTTP for modern web deployments and microservices
