Postgres-Neo4j MCP Server
Provides tools for querying and managing a Neo4j graph database, enabling natural language and Cypher queries to explore relationships and entities.
Optional integration for LLM-based natural language to Cypher query conversion, enhancing the server's ability to interpret complex questions.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Postgres-Neo4j MCP Serverfind all articles that mention OpenAI"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
PostgreSQL to Neo4j Knowledge Graph Pipeline with MCP Integration

Core Modules
1. ETL Pipeline (src/etl_pipeline.py)
The heart of the data transformation process.
Key Features:
Connects to PostgreSQL and extracts structured content
Transforms relational data into graph-ready format
Creates nodes for Articles, People, Organizations, Topics, and Domains
Establishes relationships based on content analysis
Handles deduplication and data validation
Main Classes:
PostgreSQLConnector: Manages PostgreSQL connections and data retrievalNeo4jConnector: Handles Neo4j operations and graph creationPostgresToNeo4jETL: Orchestrates the complete ETL process
2. MCP Server (src/mcp_server.py)
Provides AI/LLM integration through a REST API.
Key Features:
REST API endpoints for query execution
Natural language to Cypher query conversion
Schema introspection capabilities
Support for both read and write operations
Compatible with Claude Desktop and other LLM tools
API Endpoints:
/health: Service health check/schema: Get graph schema/execute: Execute Cypher or natural language queries/analyze: Analyze content for entity extraction
3. Test Client (src/test_mcp_client.py)
Comprehensive testing and demonstration tool.
Key Features:
Automated test suite for all functionality
Interactive query mode for manual testing
Performance benchmarking
