Neo4J for AI agents

Neo4j is a graph database platform for connected data, used here to manage Neo4j Aura cloud database instances and snapshots. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in Neo4J.

01

Check an Aura instance's details

Look up an instance's configuration and status before making a change, read-only.

02

Create a snapshot before a change

Create a backup snapshot of an instance before applying an update, in case a rollback is needed.

03

Approve before pausing an instance

Require approval before pausing an Aura instance, since it stops the database from serving queries.

02 · ACTIONS

21 Neo4J actions, graded by risk.

Every Neo4J action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Neo4J in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect Neo4JThey sign in to Neo4J on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “create Neo4j Aura Snapshot” can wait for the user to approve.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Neo4J through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('neo4j', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_snapshot
  destructive: 'deny',  
})

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Neo4J connects.

Users sign in to Neo4J on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Neo4J OAuth app, or bring your own so the Neo4J consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Neo4J connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Neo4J and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Neo4J with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Neo4J to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Neo4J actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Neo4J?

Users sign in to Neo4J on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Neo4J OAuth app, or bring your own so the Neo4J consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which Neo4J actions can my agent take?

21 in total: 13 read, 8 write and 0 destructive, such as “create Neo4j Aura Snapshot”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Neo4J?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Neo4J policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Neo4J too?

Yes. The same Neo4J connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
