Comprehensive guide for writing modern Neo4j Cypher read queries. Essential for text2cypher MCP tools and LLMs generating Cypher queries. Covers removed/deprecated syntax, modern replacements, CALL subqueries for reads, COLLECT patterns, sorting best practices, and Quantified Path Patterns (QPP) for efficient graph traversal.
Use when upgrading Neo4j 4.x and 5.x Cypher queries to 2025.x/2026.x versions
Diagnoses and fixes slow Neo4j Cypher queries by reading execution plans, identifying bad operators (AllNodesScan, CartesianProduct, Eager, NodeByLabelScan), and prescribing fixes (indexes, hints, query rewrites, runtime selection). Use when a query is slow, when EXPLAIN or PROFILE output needs interpretation, when dbHits or pageCacheHitRatio are poor, when cardinality estimation diverges from actuals, or when deciding between slotted/pipelined/parallel runtimes. Covers USING INDEX / USING SCAN / USING JOIN hints, db.stats.retrieve, SHOW QUERIES, SHOW TRANSACTIONS, TERMINATE TRANSACTION. Does NOT write new Cypher from scratch — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT cover GDS algorithm tuning — use neo4j-gds-skill. Does NOT cover index/constraint creation syntax details — use neo4j-cypher-skill references/indexes.md.
Programmatic security management in Neo4j — RBAC/ABAC, user lifecycle (CREATE/ALTER/DROP USER), role lifecycle (CREATE/GRANT ROLE/DROP ROLE), privilege grants and denies (GRANT/DENY/REVOKE on graph, database, DBMS), property-level access control, sub-graph access control, SHOW PRIVILEGES inspection, and auth provider config reference (LDAP, OIDC/SSO). Use when an agent needs to manage users, roles, or privileges programmatically via Cypher on the system database. Does NOT handle Cypher query writing — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT handle cluster ops or backups — use neo4j-cli-tools-skill. Property-level security and ABAC require Enterprise Edition.
Provisions and manages Neo4j Aura instances via CLI (aura-cli v1.7+) or REST API. Use when creating, pausing, resuming, resizing, or deleting AuraDB Free/Professional/Business Critical/VDC instances; downloading credentials; scripting CI/CD pipelines; polling async status; or using the Terraform neo4j/neo4j-aura provider. Covers auth setup (client credentials OAuth2), credential lifecycle (download once — never recoverable), instance type selection, region codes, and Python provisioning scripts. Does NOT handle Cypher queries — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT cover Graph Data Science algorithms — use neo4j-gds-skill or neo4j-aura-graph-analytics-skill. Does NOT cover neo4j-admin/cypher-shell — use neo4j-cli-tools-skill.
Serverless GDS sessions on Neo4j Aura — covers GdsSessions, AuraAPICredentials, DbmsConnectionInfo, SessionMemory, get_or_create, remote graph projection, gds.graph.project.remote, gds.graph.construct, algorithm execution (mutate/stream/write), async job polling, result retrieval, and session lifecycle. Use when running graph algorithms on Aura Business Critical or VDC, processing graph data from Pandas/Spark, or using the graphdatascience Python client in AGA (serverless) mode. Covers all three data source three source modes (AuraDB-connected, self-managed Neo4j, standalone from DataFrames). Does NOT cover the embedded GDS plugin on Aura Pro or self-managed Neo4j — use neo4j-gds-skill. Does NOT handle Cypher authoring — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT cover Snowflake Graph Analytics — use neo4j-snowflake-graph-analytics-skill.
Import structured data into Neo4j — LOAD CSV, CALL IN TRANSACTIONS, neo4j-admin database import full (offline bulk), apoc.load.csv/json, apoc.periodic.iterate, driver batch writes. Covers method selection, header file format, type coercion, null handling, ON ERROR modes, CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS, pre-import constraint setup, and post-import validation. Use when importing CSV/JSON/Parquet files, migrating relational data to graph, or bulk-loading large datasets. Does NOT handle unstructured document/PDF/vector chunking pipelines — use neo4j-document-import-skill. Does NOT handle live app write patterns (MERGE/CREATE) — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT handle neo4j-admin backup/restore/config — use neo4j-cli-tools-skill.
Run Neo4j Graph Analytics algorithms (PageRank, Louvain, WCC, Dijkstra, KNN, Node2Vec, FastRP, GraphSAGE) directly inside Snowflake without moving data. Use when running graph algorithms against Snowflake tables via the Neo4j Snowflake Native App ("GDS Snowflake", "graph algorithms in Snowflake", "Neo4j Graph Analytics"). Covers installation, privilege setup, project-compute-write pattern, and SQL CALL syntax. Does NOT cover Cypher or Neo4j DBMS queries — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT cover Aura Graph Analytics — use neo4j-aura-graph-analytics-skill. Does NOT cover self-managed GDS — use neo4j-gds-skill.
Use when reading from or writing to Neo4j with Apache Spark or Databricks using the Neo4j Connector for Apache Spark (org.neo4j:neo4j-connector-apache-spark). Covers SparkSession setup, DataFrame reads via labels/Cypher/relationship scan, DataFrame writes with SaveMode, node.keys for MERGE, relationship write mapping, partition and batch tuning, PySpark and Scala examples, Databricks cluster config, Databricks secrets for credentials, Delta Lake to Neo4j pipelines. Does NOT handle Cypher authoring — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT handle the Python bolt driver — use neo4j-driver-python-skill. Does NOT handle GDS algorithms — use neo4j-gds-skill.
Use when installing, configuring, or troubleshooting the official Neo4j MCP server (neo4j/mcp): connecting Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Kiro, or other MCP-compatible editors to a Neo4j database via stdio or HTTP transport. Covers the four MCP tools (get-schema, read-cypher, write-cypher, list-gds-procedures), read-only mode, and multi-database configuration. Does NOT cover writing Cypher queries via those tools — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT cover agent memory — use neo4j-agent-memory-skill. Does NOT cover Aura instance provisioning — use neo4j-aura-provisioning-skill.
