At WestJet, our flight schedule is modeled in a Neo4j graph database - airports, routes, aircrafts, seasonal schedules. The data is rich, but accessing it required Cypher expertise most stakeholders don't have.

I built an MCP server to change that. By creating a proxy layer connecting Claude to our Neo4j database, I enabled non-technical colleagues to query complex flight relationships using natural language. No Cypher. No waiting for developers. Just questions and answers.

This talk covers the journey from idea to working pilot: why I chose MCP, how I architected a proxy server wrapping the Neo4j MCP server, and what I learned deploying it internally. I'll give a live demo showing how analysts can explore our flight network conversationally.

This isn't a top-down initiative. It's about individual ownership - recognizing potential in data your team already maintains and using MCP to unlock value for people who couldn't access it before.
Whether you're exploring MCP for enterprise data or graph databases, this talk offers a practical, beginner-friendly blueprint.
