The setup involves three components: a client like VS Code, the neo4j-mcp server acting as a bridge, and the Neo4j database itself. The process requires Docker Desktop and VS Code with MCP support, and can be completed in approximately 30 minutes by creating a docker-compose.yml file to orchestrate the Neo4j database and the MCP server.
