01 · Install Neo4j Aura Manager

before you install - you'll need

Set NEO4J_AURA_CLIENT_ID, NEO4J_AURA_CLIENT_SECRET, NEO4J_NAMESPACE, NEO4J_TRANSPORT, NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_HOST, NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_PORT, NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_PATH, NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_ALLOWED_HOSTS before connecting. NEO4J_MCP_SERVER_ALLOW_ORIGINS is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add neo4j-contrib-mcp-neo4j-servers-mcp-neo4 -- uvx mcp-neo4j-aura-manager

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neo4j-contrib-mcp-neo4j-servers-mcp-neo4": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-neo4j-aura-manager"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
