-== Google MCP Toolbox 
+=== MCP-Sandbox
+
+The https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/sandbox-mcp-server[sandbox-mcp-server^] server provides tools for managing https://sandbox.neo4j.com[Neo4j Sandboxes^] instances directly from your development environment. This server simplifies the development workflow by allowing you to programmatically control your sandboxes.
+
+A key feature of this MCP server is the ability to not only manage the lifecycle of sandboxes (creating, terminating, extending) but also to directly interact with the data inside them. You can retrieve the database schema and execute both read and write Cypher queries on any of your running sandbox instances. This is particularly useful for rapid prototyping, testing, and data exploration without leaving your IDE.
+
+Instance & User Management:
+
+* `start_new_sandbox` - Creates a new sandbox instance for a specific use case.
+* `list_sandboxes_for_user` - Lists all active sandboxes for the user.

+* `get_sandbox_connection_details` - Retrieves connection details for a sandbox.

+
+Data Interaction:
+
+* `get_schema` - Fetches the graph schema from a sandbox.
+* `read_query` - Executes a read-only Cypher query.
+* `write_query` - Executes a write Cypher query.
+
+Backup & Aura Upload:
+
+* `request_sandbox_backup` - Requests a backup for a sandbox.
+* `list_sandbox_backups` - Lists available backups for a sandbox.
+* `get_backup_result` - Retrieves the result of a backup task.
+* `get_sandbox_backup_download_url` - Gets a download URL for a backup file.
