Best for
  • Users who already have a Neo4j instance (local or remote) and want an AI assistant to reuse memory
  • Developers who need knowledge and relationships preserved across sessions and clients
  • Users comfortable with experimental Neo4j Labs software and willing to absorb version-change risk
  • Teams already using ClickHouse who want AI assistants to access data directly.
  • Scenarios requiring fast, read-only data queries and schema exploration.
Not for
  • Users looking for official Neo4j product support, SLAs, or backwards-compatibility guarantees
  • Users who have no Neo4j instance and do not want to deploy or maintain a database
  • Users who need Cypher query execution, Aura cloud instance management, or graph data modeling from this server (those are other servers in the same repository)
  • Scenarios requiring write access to the database without explicit opt-in.
  • Production environments with stringent security requirements that avoid default permission settings.
Required permissions
  • Read and write nodes and relationships in the configured Neo4j database (for storing and retrieving memories)
  • Read NEO4J_URI, NEO4J_USERNAME, NEO4J_PASSWORD, NEO4J_DATABASE, and NEO4J_NAMESPACE environment variables at runtime
  • Requires read-only access to ClickHouse database (default).
  • Optional: write access via CLICKHOUSE_ALLOW_WRITE_ACCESS.
  • Optional: destructive operations via CLICKHOUSE_ALLOW_DROP.
Risks and side effects
  • Neo4j credentials live in the client configuration as environment variables; NEO4J_PASSWORD is secret and must be protected
  • Memories stored in the knowledge graph may be read during sessions, so sensitive or private content should be assessed beforehand
  • As a Neo4j Labs server it is experimental and may change incompatibly or drop features
  • Database read/write scope is determined by the supplied Neo4j account; overly broad permissions mean mistaken writes can affect other data in that database
  • If write access is enabled, AI might make unintended modifications.
  • If DROP access is enabled, data deletion could occur accidentally.
  • Credentials may be exposed via environment variables.
