Provisions and manages Neo4j Aura instances via CLI (aura-cli v1.7+) or REST API.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

When to Use

Creating an Aura instance (CLI, REST API, Python, Terraform)
Pausing, resuming, resizing, or deleting an instance
Downloading initial credentials from creation response
Polling instance status: creating → running
Setting up CI/CD provisioning or teardown pipelines
Choosing instance tier (Free vs Professional vs Business Critical vs VDC)

When NOT to Use

Cypher queries against running DB → neo4j-cypher-skill
GDS algorithms on Aura → neo4j-gds-skill (Pro with plugin) or neo4j-aura-graph-analytics-skill (serverless)
neo4j-admin / cypher-shell → neo4j-cli-tools-skill
Application driver setup → use a language driver skill (python, javascript, java, go, dotnet)

Instance Tier Decision Table

Tier	API type code	Memory	GDS	Replicas	Use when
AuraDB Free	`free-db`	1 GB	❌	❌	Dev/demo; ≤200k nodes/400k rels
AuraDB Professional	`professional-db`	2–64 GB	plugin available	❌	Production workloads
AuraDB Business Critical	`business-critical`	4–384 GB	plugin available	✅	HA, multi-AZ, SLA
AuraDB VDC	`enterprise-db`	custom	✅	✅	Dedicated infra, compliance
AuraDS Professional	`professional-ds`	2–64 GB	✅ built-in	❌	Data science / GDS
AuraDS Enterprise	`enterprise-ds`	custom	✅	✅	Enterprise GDS

AuraDB Free limits: 200k nodes, 400k rels; auto-pauses after 72 h inactivity; deleted if paused >30 days; no resize.

Auth Setup

CLI (aura-cli v1.7+)

Install (binary, not pip):

# macOS
curl -L https://github.com/neo4j/aura-cli/releases/latest/download/aura-cli-darwin-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv aura-cli /usr/local/bin/
aura-cli -v          # verify

Add credentials (from console.neo4j.io → Account Settings → API Credentials):

aura-cli credential add \
  --name "my-creds" \
  --client-id "$AURA_CLIENT_ID" \
  --client-secret "$AURA_CLIENT_SECRET"
aura-cli credential use --name "my-creds"

Verify:

aura-cli instance list --output table

REST API — Get Bearer Token

Token endpoint: POST https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token Token expires: 3600 s (1 h). On 403 → refresh token.

TOKEN=$(curl -s --request POST 'https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token' \
  --user "${AURA_CLIENT_ID}:${AURA_CLIENT_SECRET}" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
  | jq -r '.access_token')
echo "Token: ${TOKEN:0:20}..."

Use in all subsequent calls: --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Step 1 — List Tenants (Projects)

CLI:

aura-cli tenants list --output table
# Copy TENANT_ID for create operations

REST:

curl -s https://api.neo4j.io/v1/tenants \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {id, name}'

Step 2 — Create Instance

CRITICAL: Capture output immediately. Initial password shown ONCE — never retrievable again. If lost: delete and recreate. Store aura-creds.json before doing anything else.

CLI

aura-cli instance create \
  --name "my-instance" \
  --cloud-provider gcp \
  --region europe-west1 \
  --type professional-db \
  --tenant-id "$TENANT_ID" \
  --output json | tee aura-creds.json

# Extract for .env
INSTANCE_ID=$(jq -r '.id' aura-creds.json)
PASSWORD=$(jq -r '.password' aura-creds.json)

REST API (full create)

RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name":           "my-instance",
    "cloud_provider": "gcp",
    "region":         "europe-west1",
    "type":           "professional-db",
    "tenant_id":      "'"$TENANT_ID"'",
    "memory":         "4GB",
    "version":        "5"
  }')
echo "$RESPONSE" | tee aura-creds.json
INSTANCE_ID=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.id')
PASSWORD=$(echo "$RESPONSE"   | jq -r '.data.password')

Instance create request body fields:

Field	Required	Values
`name`	✅	any string
`cloud_provider`	✅	`gcp` `aws` `azure`
`region`	✅	see region table
`type`	✅	see tier table
`tenant_id`	✅	from tenant list
`memory`	✗	`1GB` `2GB` `4GB` `8GB` … `384GB`
`version`	✗	`5` (default)

Step 3 — Poll Until RUNNING (CRITICAL — All Ops Are Async)

ALL lifecycle operations (create, pause, resume, resize) are async. Do NOT attempt connection or next operation until status = running (or paused for pause op).

poll_status() {
  local INSTANCE_ID=$1 TARGET=$2 MAX_WAIT=${3:-600}
  local ELAPSED=0 STATUS
  echo "Polling for status=$TARGET (max ${MAX_WAIT}s)..."
  while [ $ELAPSED -lt $MAX_WAIT ]; do
    STATUS=$(aura-cli instance get --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID" --output json \
             | jq -r '.status' 2>/dev/null)
    echo "  [${ELAPSED}s] status=$STATUS"
    [ "$STATUS" = "$TARGET" ] && echo "Ready." && return 0
    [ "$STATUS" = "destroying" ] && echo "ERROR: instance is being destroyed" && return 1
    sleep 10; ELAPSED=$((ELAPSED + 10))
  done
  echo "TIMEOUT after ${MAX_WAIT}s — last status: $STATUS" && return 1
}

poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 600

REST equivalent:

while true; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.status')
  [ "$STATUS" = "running" ] && break
  sleep 10
done

Status lifecycle:

creating → running → pausing → paused → resuming → running
                  ↘ destroying → (gone)

Step 4 — Write .env and Verify

CONNECTION_URI="neo4j+s://${INSTANCE_ID}.databases.neo4j.io"

cat > .env <<EOF
NEO4J_URI=${CONNECTION_URI}
NEO4J_USERNAME=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=${PASSWORD}
NEO4J_DATABASE=neo4j
AURA_INSTANCE_ID=${INSTANCE_ID}
EOF

# Ensure .env never committed
grep -q '^\.env$' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.env' >> .gitignore

# Verify connectivity
cypher-shell -a "$CONNECTION_URI" -u neo4j -p "$PASSWORD" "RETURN 'connected' AS status"

Step 5 — Lifecycle Operations

All operations require instance in the correct state. Wrong-state ops return 4xx error.

Pause

Required state: running

aura-cli instance pause --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "paused" 600

Resume

Required state: paused

aura-cli instance resume --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 900   # resume can take longer

Resize (Professional+ only — NOT Free)

Required state: running; instance remains available during resize.

# REST only — CLI resize not available in v1.7
curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"memory": "8GB"}'
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 600
# Cannot reduce below current usage level

Delete

IRREVERSIBLE. Export snapshots first if data needed.

aura-cli instance delete --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
# No poll needed — immediate

REST:

curl -s -X DELETE "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

---

## Auth Setup

### CLI (aura-cli v1.7+)

Install (binary, not pip):
```bash
# macOS
curl -L https://github.com/neo4j/aura-cli/releases/latest/download/aura-cli-darwin-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv aura-cli /usr/local/bin/
aura-cli -v          # verify
```

Add credentials (from console.neo4j.io → Account Settings → API Credentials):
```bash
aura-cli credential add \
  --name "my-creds" \
  --client-id "$AURA_CLIENT_ID" \
  --client-secret "$AURA_CLIENT_SECRET"
aura-cli credential use --name "my-creds"
```

Verify:
```bash
aura-cli instance list --output table
```

### REST API — Get Bearer Token

Token endpoint: `POST https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token`
Token expires: **3600 s (1 h)**. On 403 → refresh token.

```bash
TOKEN=$(curl -s --request POST 'https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token' \
  --user "${AURA_CLIENT_ID}:${AURA_CLIENT_SECRET}" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
  | jq -r '.access_token')
echo "Token: ${TOKEN:0:20}..."
```

Use in all subsequent calls: `--header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"`

---

## Step 1 — List Tenants (Projects)

CLI:
```bash
aura-cli tenants list --output table
# Copy TENANT_ID for create operations
```

REST:
```bash
curl -s https://api.neo4j.io/v1/tenants \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {id, name}'
```

---

## Step 2 — Create Instance

CRITICAL: **Capture output immediately.** Initial password shown ONCE — never retrievable again.
If lost: delete and recreate. Store `aura-creds.json` before doing anything else.

### CLI

```bash
aura-cli instance create \
  --name "my-instance" \
  --cloud-provider gcp \
  --region europe-west1 \
  --type professional-db \
  --tenant-id "$TENANT_ID" \
  --output json | tee aura-creds.json

# Extract for .env
INSTANCE_ID=$(jq -r '.id' aura-creds.json)
PASSWORD=$(jq -r '.password' aura-creds.json)
```

### REST API (full create)

```bash
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name":           "my-instance",
    "cloud_provider": "gcp",
    "region":         "europe-west1",
    "type":           "professional-db",
    "tenant_id":      "'"$TENANT_ID"'",
    "memory":         "4GB",
    "version":        "5"
  }')
echo "$RESPONSE" | tee aura-creds.json
INSTANCE_ID=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.id')
PASSWORD=$(echo "$RESPONSE"   | jq -r '.data.password')
```

Instance create request body fields:

| Field | Required | Values |
|---|---|---|
| `name` | ✅ | any string |
| `cloud_provider` | ✅ | `gcp` `aws` `azure` |
| `region` | ✅ | see region table |
| `type` | ✅ | see tier table |
| `tenant_id` | ✅ | from tenant list |
| `memory` | ✗ | `1GB` `2GB` `4GB` `8GB` … `384GB` |
| `version` | ✗ | `5` (default) |

---

## Step 3 — Poll Until RUNNING (CRITICAL — All Ops Are Async)

ALL lifecycle operations (create, pause, resume, resize) are async. Do NOT attempt connection or next operation until status = `running` (or `paused` for pause op).

```bash
poll_status() {
  local INSTANCE_ID=$1 TARGET=$2 MAX_WAIT=${3:-600}
  local ELAPSED=0 STATUS
  echo "Polling for status=$TARGET (max ${MAX_WAIT}s)..."
  while [ $ELAPSED -lt $MAX_WAIT ]; do
    STATUS=$(aura-cli instance get --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID" --output json \
             | jq -r '.status' 2>/dev/null)
    echo "  [${ELAPSED}s] status=$STATUS"
    [ "$STATUS" = "$TARGET" ] && echo "Ready." && return 0
    [ "$STATUS" = "destroying" ] && echo "ERROR: instance is being destroyed" && return 1
    sleep 10; ELAPSED=$((ELAPSED + 10))
  done
  echo "TIMEOUT after ${MAX_WAIT}s — last status: $STATUS" && return 1
}

poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 600
```

REST equivalent:
```bash
while true; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.status')
  [ "$STATUS" = "running" ] && break
  sleep 10
done
```

Status lifecycle:
```
creating → running → pausing → paused → resuming → running
                  ↘ destroying → (gone)
```

---

## Step 4 — Write .env and Verify

```bash
CONNECTION_URI="neo4j+s://${INSTANCE_ID}.databases.neo4j.io"

cat > .env <<EOF
NEO4J_URI=${CONNECTION_URI}
NEO4J_USERNAME=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=${PASSWORD}
NEO4J_DATABASE=neo4j
AURA_INSTANCE_ID=${INSTANCE_ID}
EOF

# Ensure .env never committed
grep -q '^\.env$' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.env' >> .gitignore

# Verify connectivity
cypher-shell -a "$CONNECTION_URI" -u neo4j -p "$PASSWORD" "RETURN 'connected' AS status"
```

---

## Step 5 — Lifecycle Operations

All operations require instance in the correct state. Wrong-state ops return 4xx error.

### Pause
Required state: `running`
```bash
aura-cli instance pause --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "paused" 600
```

### Resume
Required state: `paused`
```bash
aura-cli instance resume --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 900   # resume can take longer
```

### Resize (Professional+ only — NOT Free)
Required state: `running`; instance remains available during resize.
```bash
# REST only — CLI resize not available in v1.7
curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"memory": "8GB"}'
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 600
# Cannot reduce below current usage level
```

### Delete
IRREVERSIBLE. Export snapshots first if data needed.
```bash
aura-cli instance delete --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
# No poll needed — immediate
```

REST:
```bash
curl -s -X DELETE "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
```

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Overview

Provisions and manages Neo4j Aura instances via CLI (aura-cli v1.7+) or REST API.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

When to Use

Creating an Aura instance (CLI, REST API, Python, Terraform)
Pausing, resuming, resizing, or deleting an instance
Downloading initial credentials from creation response
Polling instance status: creating → running
Setting up CI/CD provisioning or teardown pipelines
Choosing instance tier (Free vs Professional vs Business Critical vs VDC)

When NOT to Use

Cypher queries against running DB → neo4j-cypher-skill
GDS algorithms on Aura → neo4j-gds-skill (Pro with plugin) or neo4j-aura-graph-analytics-skill (serverless)
neo4j-admin / cypher-shell → neo4j-cli-tools-skill
Application driver setup → use a language driver skill (python, javascript, java, go, dotnet)

Instance Tier Decision Table

Tier	API type code	Memory	GDS	Replicas	Use when
AuraDB Free	`free-db`	1 GB	❌	❌	Dev/demo; ≤200k nodes/400k rels
AuraDB Professional	`professional-db`	2–64 GB	plugin available	❌	Production workloads
AuraDB Business Critical	`business-critical`	4–384 GB	plugin available	✅	HA, multi-AZ, SLA
AuraDB VDC	`enterprise-db`	custom	✅	✅	Dedicated infra, compliance
AuraDS Professional	`professional-ds`	2–64 GB	✅ built-in	❌	Data science / GDS
AuraDS Enterprise	`enterprise-ds`	custom	✅	✅	Enterprise GDS

AuraDB Free limits: 200k nodes, 400k rels; auto-pauses after 72 h inactivity; deleted if paused >30 days; no resize.

Auth Setup

CLI (aura-cli v1.7+)

Install (binary, not pip):

# macOS
curl -L https://github.com/neo4j/aura-cli/releases/latest/download/aura-cli-darwin-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv aura-cli /usr/local/bin/
aura-cli -v          # verify

Add credentials (from console.neo4j.io → Account Settings → API Credentials):

aura-cli credential add \
  --name "my-creds" \
  --client-id "$AURA_CLIENT_ID" \
  --client-secret "$AURA_CLIENT_SECRET"
aura-cli credential use --name "my-creds"

Verify:

aura-cli instance list --output table

REST API — Get Bearer Token

Token endpoint: POST https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token Token expires: 3600 s (1 h). On 403 → refresh token.

TOKEN=$(curl -s --request POST 'https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token' \
  --user "${AURA_CLIENT_ID}:${AURA_CLIENT_SECRET}" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
  | jq -r '.access_token')
echo "Token: ${TOKEN:0:20}..."

Use in all subsequent calls: --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Step 1 — List Tenants (Projects)

CLI:

aura-cli tenants list --output table
# Copy TENANT_ID for create operations

REST:

curl -s https://api.neo4j.io/v1/tenants \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {id, name}'

Step 2 — Create Instance

CRITICAL: Capture output immediately. Initial password shown ONCE — never retrievable again. If lost: delete and recreate. Store aura-creds.json before doing anything else.

CLI

aura-cli instance create \
  --name "my-instance" \
  --cloud-provider gcp \
  --region europe-west1 \
  --type professional-db \
  --tenant-id "$TENANT_ID" \
  --output json | tee aura-creds.json

# Extract for .env
INSTANCE_ID=$(jq -r '.id' aura-creds.json)
PASSWORD=$(jq -r '.password' aura-creds.json)

REST API (full create)

RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name":           "my-instance",
    "cloud_provider": "gcp",
    "region":         "europe-west1",
    "type":           "professional-db",
    "tenant_id":      "'"$TENANT_ID"'",
    "memory":         "4GB",
    "version":        "5"
  }')
echo "$RESPONSE" | tee aura-creds.json
INSTANCE_ID=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.id')
PASSWORD=$(echo "$RESPONSE"   | jq -r '.data.password')

Instance create request body fields:

Field	Required	Values
`name`	✅	any string
`cloud_provider`	✅	`gcp` `aws` `azure`
`region`	✅	see region table
`type`	✅	see tier table
`tenant_id`	✅	from tenant list
`memory`	✗	`1GB` `2GB` `4GB` `8GB` … `384GB`
`version`	✗	`5` (default)

Step 3 — Poll Until RUNNING (CRITICAL — All Ops Are Async)

ALL lifecycle operations (create, pause, resume, resize) are async. Do NOT attempt connection or next operation until status = running (or paused for pause op).

poll_status() {
  local INSTANCE_ID=$1 TARGET=$2 MAX_WAIT=${3:-600}
  local ELAPSED=0 STATUS
  echo "Polling for status=$TARGET (max ${MAX_WAIT}s)..."
  while [ $ELAPSED -lt $MAX_WAIT ]; do
    STATUS=$(aura-cli instance get --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID" --output json \
             | jq -r '.status' 2>/dev/null)
    echo "  [${ELAPSED}s] status=$STATUS"
    [ "$STATUS" = "$TARGET" ] && echo "Ready." && return 0
    [ "$STATUS" = "destroying" ] && echo "ERROR: instance is being destroyed" && return 1
    sleep 10; ELAPSED=$((ELAPSED + 10))
  done
  echo "TIMEOUT after ${MAX_WAIT}s — last status: $STATUS" && return 1
}

poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 600

REST equivalent:

while true; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.status')
  [ "$STATUS" = "running" ] && break
  sleep 10
done

Status lifecycle:

creating → running → pausing → paused → resuming → running
                  ↘ destroying → (gone)

Step 4 — Write .env and Verify

CONNECTION_URI="neo4j+s://${INSTANCE_ID}.databases.neo4j.io"

cat > .env <<EOF
NEO4J_URI=${CONNECTION_URI}
NEO4J_USERNAME=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=${PASSWORD}
NEO4J_DATABASE=neo4j
AURA_INSTANCE_ID=${INSTANCE_ID}
EOF

# Ensure .env never committed
grep -q '^\.env$' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.env' >> .gitignore

# Verify connectivity
cypher-shell -a "$CONNECTION_URI" -u neo4j -p "$PASSWORD" "RETURN 'connected' AS status"

Step 5 — Lifecycle Operations

All operations require instance in the correct state. Wrong-state ops return 4xx error.

Pause

Required state: running

aura-cli instance pause --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "paused" 600

Resume

Required state: paused

aura-cli instance resume --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 900   # resume can take longer

Resize (Professional+ only — NOT Free)

Required state: running; instance remains available during resize.

# REST only — CLI resize not available in v1.7
curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"memory": "8GB"}'
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 600
# Cannot reduce below current usage level

Delete

IRREVERSIBLE. Export snapshots first if data needed.

aura-cli instance delete --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
# No poll needed — immediate

REST:

curl -s -X DELETE "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

## When to Use
- Creating an Aura instance (CLI, REST API, Python, Terraform)
- Pausing, resuming, resizing, or deleting an instance
- Downloading initial credentials from creation response
- Polling instance status: `creating` → `running`
- Setting up CI/CD provisioning or teardown pipelines
- Choosing instance tier (Free vs Professional vs Business Critical vs VDC)

## When NOT to Use
- **Cypher queries against running DB** → `neo4j-cypher-skill`
- **GDS algorithms on Aura** → `neo4j-gds-skill` (Pro with plugin) or `neo4j-aura-graph-analytics-skill` (serverless)
- **neo4j-admin / cypher-shell** → `neo4j-cli-tools-skill`
- **Application driver setup** → use a language driver skill (python, javascript, java, go, dotnet)

---

## Auth Setup

### CLI (aura-cli v1.7+)

Install (binary, not pip):
```bash
# macOS
curl -L https://github.com/neo4j/aura-cli/releases/latest/download/aura-cli-darwin-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv aura-cli /usr/local/bin/
aura-cli -v          # verify
```

Add credentials (from console.neo4j.io → Account Settings → API Credentials):
```bash
aura-cli credential add \
  --name "my-creds" \
  --client-id "$AURA_CLIENT_ID" \
  --client-secret "$AURA_CLIENT_SECRET"
aura-cli credential use --name "my-creds"
```

Verify:
```bash
aura-cli instance list --output table
```

### REST API — Get Bearer Token

Token endpoint: `POST https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token`
Token expires: **3600 s (1 h)**. On 403 → refresh token.

```bash
TOKEN=$(curl -s --request POST 'https://api.neo4j.io/oauth/token' \
  --user "${AURA_CLIENT_ID}:${AURA_CLIENT_SECRET}" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
  | jq -r '.access_token')
echo "Token: ${TOKEN:0:20}..."
```

Use in all subsequent calls: `--header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"`

---

## Step 1 — List Tenants (Projects)

CLI:
```bash
aura-cli tenants list --output table
# Copy TENANT_ID for create operations
```

REST:
```bash
curl -s https://api.neo4j.io/v1/tenants \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {id, name}'
```

---

## Step 2 — Create Instance

CRITICAL: **Capture output immediately.** Initial password shown ONCE — never retrievable again.
If lost: delete and recreate. Store `aura-creds.json` before doing anything else.

### CLI

```bash
aura-cli instance create \
  --name "my-instance" \
  --cloud-provider gcp \
  --region europe-west1 \
  --type professional-db \
  --tenant-id "$TENANT_ID" \
  --output json | tee aura-creds.json

# Extract for .env
INSTANCE_ID=$(jq -r '.id' aura-creds.json)
PASSWORD=$(jq -r '.password' aura-creds.json)
```

### REST API (full create)

```bash
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name":           "my-instance",
    "cloud_provider": "gcp",
    "region":         "europe-west1",
    "type":           "professional-db",
    "tenant_id":      "'"$TENANT_ID"'",
    "memory":         "4GB",
    "version":        "5"
  }')
echo "$RESPONSE" | tee aura-creds.json
INSTANCE_ID=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.id')
PASSWORD=$(echo "$RESPONSE"   | jq -r '.data.password')
```

Instance create request body fields:

| Field | Required | Values |
|---|---|---|
| `name` | ✅ | any string |
| `cloud_provider` | ✅ | `gcp` `aws` `azure` |
| `region` | ✅ | see region table |
| `type` | ✅ | see tier table |
| `tenant_id` | ✅ | from tenant list |
| `memory` | ✗ | `1GB` `2GB` `4GB` `8GB` … `384GB` |
| `version` | ✗ | `5` (default) |

---

## Step 3 — Poll Until RUNNING (CRITICAL — All Ops Are Async)

ALL lifecycle operations (create, pause, resume, resize) are async. Do NOT attempt connection or next operation until status = `running` (or `paused` for pause op).

```bash
poll_status() {
  local INSTANCE_ID=$1 TARGET=$2 MAX_WAIT=${3:-600}
  local ELAPSED=0 STATUS
  echo "Polling for status=$TARGET (max ${MAX_WAIT}s)..."
  while [ $ELAPSED -lt $MAX_WAIT ]; do
    STATUS=$(aura-cli instance get --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID" --output json \
             | jq -r '.status' 2>/dev/null)
    echo "  [${ELAPSED}s] status=$STATUS"
    [ "$STATUS" = "$TARGET" ] && echo "Ready." && return 0
    [ "$STATUS" = "destroying" ] && echo "ERROR: instance is being destroyed" && return 1
    sleep 10; ELAPSED=$((ELAPSED + 10))
  done
  echo "TIMEOUT after ${MAX_WAIT}s — last status: $STATUS" && return 1
}

poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 600
```

REST equivalent:
```bash
while true; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.status')
  [ "$STATUS" = "running" ] && break
  sleep 10
done
```

Status lifecycle:
```
creating → running → pausing → paused → resuming → running
                  ↘ destroying → (gone)
```

---

## Step 4 — Write .env and Verify

```bash
CONNECTION_URI="neo4j+s://${INSTANCE_ID}.databases.neo4j.io"

cat > .env <<EOF
NEO4J_URI=${CONNECTION_URI}
NEO4J_USERNAME=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=${PASSWORD}
NEO4J_DATABASE=neo4j
AURA_INSTANCE_ID=${INSTANCE_ID}
EOF

# Ensure .env never committed
grep -q '^\.env$' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.env' >> .gitignore

# Verify connectivity
cypher-shell -a "$CONNECTION_URI" -u neo4j -p "$PASSWORD" "RETURN 'connected' AS status"
```

---

## Step 5 — Lifecycle Operations

All operations require instance in the correct state. Wrong-state ops return 4xx error.

### Pause
Required state: `running`
```bash
aura-cli instance pause --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "paused" 600
```

### Resume
Required state: `paused`
```bash
aura-cli instance resume --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 900   # resume can take longer
```

### Resize (Professional+ only — NOT Free)
Required state: `running`; instance remains available during resize.
```bash
# REST only — CLI resize not available in v1.7
curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"memory": "8GB"}'
poll_status "$INSTANCE_ID" "running" 600
# Cannot reduce below current usage level
```

### Delete
IRREVERSIBLE. Export snapshots first if data needed.
```bash
aura-cli instance delete --instance-id "$INSTANCE_ID"
# No poll needed — immediate
```

REST:
```bash
curl -s -X DELETE "https://api.neo4j.io/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
```

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
