🔍📊 Neo4j Data Modeling MCP Server

mcp-name: io.github.neo4j-contrib/mcp-neo4j-data-modeling

🌟 Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides tools for creating, visualizing, and managing Neo4j graph data models. This server enables you to define nodes, relationships, and properties to design graph database schemas that can be visualized interactively.

This MCP server facilitates data modeling workflows like the one detailed below.

• Blue steps are handled by the agent
• Purple by the Data Modeling MCP server
• Green by the user

Demo

For an end to end demo using the Data Modeling and Cypher MCP servers to develop a data model, generate an ingest script, and validate use cases please check out this Github Repo.

🛠️ Tools

The server offers these core tools:

#### ✅ Validation Tools

• validate_node
• Validate a single node structure
• Input:
• node (Node): The node to validate
• return_validated (bool, optional): If True, returns the validated node object instead of True
• Returns: True if valid (or validated Node object if return_validated=True), raises ValueError if invalid

• validate_relationship
• Validate a single relationship structure
• Input:
• relationship (Relationship): The relationship to validate
• return_validated (bool, optional): If True, returns the validated relationship object instead of True
• Returns: True if valid (or validated Relationship object if return_validated=True), raises ValueError if invalid

• validate_data_model
• Validate the entire data model structure
• Input:
• data_model (DataModel): The data model to validate
• return_validated (bool, optional): If True, returns the validated data model object instead of True
• Returns: True if valid (or validated DataModel object if return_validated=True), raises ValueError if invalid

#### 👁️ Visualization Tools

• get_mermaid_config_str
• Generate a Mermaid diagram configuration string for the data model, suitable for visualization in tools that support Mermaid
• Input:
• data_model (DataModel): The data model to visualize
• Returns: Mermaid configuration string representing the data model

#### 🔄 Import/Export Tools

These tools provide integration with Arrows - a graph drawing web application for creating detailed Neo4j data models with an intuitive visual interface.

• load_from_arrows_json
• Load a data model from Arrows app JSON format
• Input:
• arrows_data_model_dict (dict): JSON dictionary from Arrows app export
• Returns: DataModel object

• export_to_arrows_json
• Export a data model to Arrows app JSON format
• Input:
• data_model (DataModel): The data model to export
• Returns: JSON string compatible with Arrows app

• load_from_owl_turtle
• Load a data model from OWL Turtle format
• Input:
• owl_turtle_str (str): OWL Turtle string representation of an ontology
• Returns: DataModel object with nodes and relationships extracted from the ontology
• Note: This conversion is lossy - OWL Classes become Nodes, ObjectProperties become Relationships, and DatatypeProperties become Node properties.

• export_to_owl_turtle
• Export a data model to OWL Turtle format
• Input:
• data_model (DataModel): The data model to export
• Returns: String representation of the data model in OWL Turtle format
• Note: This conversion is lossy - Relationship properties are not preserved since OWL does not support properties on ObjectProperties

• export_to_pydantic_models
• Export a data model to Pydantic models
• Input:
• data_model (DataModel): The data model to export
• Returns: String representation of the Pydantic models as a Python file, including imports and model definitions for nodes, relationships, and the complete data model

• export_to_neo4j_graphrag_pkg_schema
