Our reading of Neo4j Memory, from the data

Neo4j Memory is a memory MCP server from neo4j-contrib, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

Maintenance is maintained: the last public signal was 42 days ago (2026-09-09). For comparison, 68% of memory servers are active or maintained.

With 988 GitHub stars it ranks #22 of 1,597 memory servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (NEO4J_PASSWORD); use a scoped, least-privilege key.

Install Neo4j Memory MCP server

claude mcp add neo4j-memory -e NEO4J_URI='<neo4j-uri>' -e NEO4J_USERNAME='<neo4j-username>' -e NEO4J_PASSWORD='<neo4j-password>' -- uvx mcp-neo4j-memory

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neo4j-memory": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-neo4j-memory"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NEO4J_URI": "<neo4j-uri>",
        "NEO4J_USERNAME": "<neo4j-username>",
        "NEO4J_PASSWORD": "<neo4j-password>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project).

Checks

✓Repository hygiene (archived, activity, license, security policy)
○Package metadata (install scripts, provenance) — pending
○Tool descriptions (prompt-injection and hidden-text heuristics) — pending
○Source scan (secrets, CVEs, risky code) by vectra-guard — pending

Scan it yourself before installing with vectra-guard, the open-source agent security CLI (made by NavyaAI, which also runs MCPSkillHub). Scoring rules
