IEEE MCP Server
IEEE MCP Server (Python)
A single Model Context Protocol server that exposes both Neo4j and Box to an AI agent over HTTP. It's designed to run as one Azure App Service, so the Databricks Supervisor needs only one MCP connection to reach every tool.
This is a standalone project. The existing Node
neo4j-mcp-serverand the original Box script are not affected — this combines their capabilities in one Python app for a single deployment.
Tools
Tool | Purpose |
| Run a read-only Cypher query ( |
| Run a write Cypher query ( |
| Return the graph schema — labels, relationships, properties, connections. Call first so queries use the right structure. |
| Ask a natural-language question about documents stored in Box (Box AI, via a Strands + Bedrock agent). |
Requirements
Python 3.10+
A Neo4j database (e.g. Neo4j Aura)
A Box developer app + token (developer.box.com)
AWS Bedrock access (the
query_boxmodel runs on Bedrock)
Setup
cd ieee-mcp-server
python -m venv .venv
# Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate macOS/Linux: source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env # then fill in your real values
python server.py # serves on http://localhost:8000Endpoints:
GET /health— liveness checkPOST /mcp— the MCP endpoint (requiresAuthorization: Bearer <MCP_SECRET_TOKEN>)
Environment
See .env.example. Key values:
Variable | Description |
| Neo4j connection |
| Box token (expires ~60 min; use Client Credentials Grant for production) |
| Bedrock model for |
| AWS creds for Bedrock (or use an IAM role on Azure) |
| Bearer token clients must present on |
| Listen address (default |
.envis git-ignored. Never commit real credentials.
Expose to Databricks (dev)
ngrok http 8000Register the public URL (.../mcp) as a UC/MCP connection in Databricks with
Authorization: Bearer <MCP_SECRET_TOKEN>.
Deploy to Azure App Service (one app for all tools)
Push this folder to a repo.
Create a Python App Service.
Set the env vars from
.env.exampleas Application settings (leavePORTto Azure; provide AWS creds or attach a managed identity with Bedrock access).Startup command:
python -m uvicorn server:build_app --factory --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000Point the Databricks MCP connection at
https://<app>.azurewebsites.net/mcp.
