mcp-kg-skills
Manages a knowledge graph in Neo4j, allowing creation, retrieval, update, and deletion of nodes (scripts, skills, knowledge, environment variables) and relationships (CONTAINS, RELATE_TO), as well as executing Python scripts with automatic dependency management and secret protection.
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., "@mcp-kg-skillsfind all Python functions for file I/O"
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.
MCP Knowledge Graph Skills
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that manages a graph of reusable Python functions, documentation, and environment variables. Claude can dynamically compose and execute scripts by importing functions from the graph.
Features
Graph-Based Knowledge Management: Organize skills, scripts, documentation, and environments in a Neo4j knowledge graph
Dynamic Script Composition: Import and combine Python functions at execution time
Automatic Dependency Management: PEP 723 inline script metadata with uv-powered execution
Secret Protection: Automatic detection and sanitization of sensitive environment variables
Relationship Tracking: Connect related skills and resources with CONTAINS and RELATE_TO relationships
Flexible Querying: Explore the knowledge graph using read-only Cypher queries
Quick Start
Get started in 3 steps:
# 1. Install uv (if not already installed)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# 2. Start Neo4j (using Docker)
docker run -d --name neo4j -p 7687:7687 -e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/password neo4j:latest
# 3. Create config file
mkdir -p ~/.mcp-kg-skills/config
cat > ~/.mcp-kg-skills/config/database.yaml << 'EOF'
database:
uri: "bolt://localhost:7687"
username: "neo4j"
password: "password"
database: "neo4j"
execution:
cache_dir: "~/.mcp-kg-skills/cache"
env_dir: "~/.mcp-kg-skills/envs"
default_timeout: 300
max_timeout: 600
security:
secret_patterns:
- "^SECRET_"
- "_SECRET$"
- "^.*_KEY$"
- "^.*_PASSWORD$"
- "^.*_TOKEN$"
logging:
level: "INFO"
EOF
# 4. Run the server
uvx mcp-kg-skillsThat's it! Now configure your MCP client (see MCP Client Configuration).

1. nodes - Manage nodes
Create a SKILL:
nodes(
operation="create",
node_type="SKILL",
data={
"name": "data-pipeline",
"description": "ETL data processing pipeline",
"body": "# Data Pipeline\n\nThis skill manages ETL processes..."
}

# ///
import requests
def fetch_data(url: str) -> dict:
response = requests.get(url)
return response.json()
"""
}
)List nodes:

Find scripts in a skill:
query(
cypher="""
MATCH (s:SKILL {name: $skill_name})-[:CONTAINS]->(script:SCRIPT)
RETURN script.name, script.function_signature

MATCH (script:SCRIPT)-[:CONTAINS]->(env:ENV {name: $env_name})
MATCH (skill:SKILL)-[:CONTAINS]->(script)
RETURN DISTINCT skill.name, skill.description

MATCH (s1:SKILL)-[:RELATE_TO]-(s2:SKILL)
WHERE s1.name = $name
RETURN s2.name, s2.description
""",
parameters={"name": "etl-pipeline"}

return {
'title': soup.title.string if soup.title else None,
'links': [a['href'] for a in soup.find_all('a', href=True)]
}
"""
}
)
# Returns: {"success": true, "node": {"id": "script-ghi789", ...}}3. Create Environment
env(
operation="create",
name="scraper-config",
description="Web scraper configuration",
variables={
"USER_AGENT": "MyBot/1.0",
"RATE_LIMIT": "10",
"API_KEY": "secret-key-123" # Auto-detected as secret
}
)
# Returns: {"success": true, "node": {"id": "env-jkl012", ...}}4. Link Everything Together
# Skill CONTAINS scripts
relationships(
operation="create",
relationship_type="CONTAINS",
source_id="skill-abc123",
target_id="script-def456"
)
relationships(
operation="create",
relationship_type="CONTAINS",
source_id="skill-abc123",
target_id="script-ghi789"
)
# Scripts CONTAIN environment
relationships(
operation="create",
relationship_type="CONTAINS",
source_id="script-def456",
target_id="env-jkl012"
)5. Execute Combined Scripts
execute(
code="""
# Both functions are available
html = fetch_html("https://example.com")
data = parse_html(html)
print(f"Page title: {data['title']}")
print(f"Found {len(data['links'])} links")
""",
imports=["fetch_html", "parse_html"],
timeout=30
)
# Dependencies (requests, beautifulsoup4) are automatically installed
# Environment variables from scraper-config are available
# Secrets are sanitized from outputSecurity Features
Automatic Secret Detection
Environment variables matching these patterns are automatically detected as secrets:
SECRET_**_SECRET*_KEY*_PASSWORD*_TOKEN*_API_KEY*_PRIVATE_KEY
Secret Protection
Storage: Secrets are stored in
~/.mcp-kg-skills/envs/*.envfiles (outside project directory)API Responses: Secret values are replaced with
<SECRET>Execution Output: Secret values are replaced with
<REDACTED>File Permissions:
.envfiles are created with0600permissions
