Memgraph MCP Server

A Model Control Protocol (MCP) server for Memgraph databases that allows Claude to interact with your Memgraph graph databases.

Using with Claude Code

The easiest way to use this server with Claude Code:

# Generate MCP config and add it to Claude
JSON=$(memgraph-mcp-server --json --connection-uri 'bolt://localhost:7687') \
&& claude mcp add-json "$JSON"

Installation

Using Homebrew

# Add the tap
brew tap mgorunuch/memgraph-mcp-server https://github.com/mgorunuch/memgraph-mcp-server

# Install the server
brew install mgorunuch/memgraph-mcp-server/memgraph-mcp-server

Using Go

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mgorunuch/memgraph-mcp-server.git

# Build the server
cd memgraph-mcp-server
go build

Setup

There are two ways to use this server:

1. Running Directly

1. Set your Memgraph connection parameters as environment variables (optional):

export MEMGRAPH_URI="bolt://localhost:7687"
export MEMGRAPH_USER="username"
export MEMGRAPH_PASSWORD="password"

If not provided, defaults to bolt://localhost:7687 with no authentication.

2. Launch the server:

memgraph-mcp-server

3. Use with Claude by setting up the MCP connection to this server.

2. Using with Claude's MCP Configuration

1. Generate the MCP configuration JSON:

memgraph-mcp-server --json --connection-uri "bolt://localhost:7687" --username "username" --password "password"

This will output a JSON configuration you can use with Claude's MCP tools.

Example output:

{"type":"stdio","command":"/path/to/memgraph-mcp-server","args":["--connection-uri","bolt://localhost:7687","--username","username","--password","password"],"env":{}}

2. Copy this JSON output and use it to configure the MCP connection in Claude.

Command Line Options

• --version: Displays version information
• --json: Outputs MCP configuration JSON for use with Claude
• --connection-uri: Memgraph connection URI (e.g., bolt://localhost:7687)
• --username: Memgraph username
• --password: Memgraph password

Security

For safety, potentially destructive queries (DELETE, REMOVE, DROP, CREATE, MERGE, SET) are blocked by default.

To execute these queries, you must explicitly set unsafe: true when using the run_query tool.

Available Tools

run_query

Executes a Cypher query against Memgraph.

Parameters:

• query (required): The Cypher query to execute
• unsafe (optional): Set to true to allow potentially unsafe queries

Example:

run_query(query="MATCH (n) RETURN n LIMIT 10")

get_schema

Retrieves schema information from the Memgraph database.

Example:

get_schema()

Requirements

• Go 1.21 or higher
• Memgraph database (compatible with Bolt protocol)
