# 🚀💖☁️ Neo4j Aura Database Manager MCP Server

## 🌟 Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides tools for managing Neo4j Aura database instances through the Neo4j Aura API.

This server allows you to create, monitor, and manage Neo4j Aura instances directly through Claude, making it easy to provision and maintain your graph database infrastructure.

## 🔑 Authentication

Authentication with the Neo4j Aura API requires:
- Client ID
- Client Secret

You can obtain these credentials from the Neo4j Aura console, see the [documentation of the Aura API](https://neo4j.com/docs/aura/classic/platform/api/overview/)

Here is the [API Specification](https://neo4j.com/docs/aura/platform/api/specification/)
