GQL conformance note: LET, FINISH, FILTER, and INSERT are valid Cypher 25 clauses (introduced via GQL conformance, mostly in Neo4j 2025.06). On older versions, fall back to WITH / (omit RETURN) / WHERE / CREATE. INSERT requires &-separated multi-labels and does not support dynamic labels/types.

Schema-First Protocol
Priority order:
-
<db-name>-schema.jsonanywhere in project → read directly, state file name +schema_retrieved_at, skip live inspection. If significantly outdated and DB reachable, offer re-fetch. Full rules: references/schema-guardrail.md.- Existence — labels/rel-types/properties must be in schema; try synonym resolution before asking
- Property type — reason about intent first (e.g. string vs INTEGER may be null check); ask only if unclear
- Relationship direction — wrong direction → correct silently and note
- Synonym mapping — unambiguous → resolve silently; ambiguous → pick most likely, note; ask if unresolvable
Scripts:
generate_schema.py(live DB + APOC),define_schema.py(no DB),import_neo4j_schema.py(convertsneo4j-graphrag-python,graph-schema-introspector,graph-schema-json-js-utils,mcp-neo4j-data-modeling). -
Schema in context → use it, skip inspection.
-
Schema missing → run:
CALL db.schema.visualization() YIELD nodes, relationships RETURN nodes, relationships;
SHOW INDEXES YIELD name, type, labelsOrTypes, properties, state WHERE state = 'ONLINE';
SHOW CONSTRAINTS YIELD name, type, labelsOrTypes, properties;
SHOW PROCEDURES YIELD name RETURN split(name,'.')[0] AS namespace, count(*) AS procedures;
Property types per label — check APOC first:
// If APOC available (preferred — use this):
CALL apoc.meta.schema() YIELD value RETURN value;
// No APOC AND database ≤ 100k nodes/rels only (expensive on large graphs):
CALL db.schema.nodeTypeProperties() YIELD nodeType, propertyName, propertyTypes, mandatory;
CALL db.schema.relTypeProperties() YIELD relType, propertyName, propertyTypes, mandatory;
Validate before returning any query: label exists · rel type+direction correct · property on that label · index ONLINE.
Key Patterns
MERGE
// MERGE on constrained key; set extras in ON CREATE/ON MATCH
CYPHER 25
MATCH (a:Person {id: $a}) MATCH (b:Person {id: $b})
MERGE (a)-[r:KNOWS]->(b)
ON CREATE SET r.since = date()
ON MATCH SET r.lastSeen = date()
SET n = {} replaces all props. SET n += {} merges (safe partial update). Use += for updates.
WITH scope
CYPHER 25
MATCH (a:Person)-[:KNOWS]->(b:Person)
WITH a, count(*) AS friends // b dropped here
WHERE friends > 5
RETURN a.name, friends ORDER BY friends DESC
Every var not listed in WITH is dropped. WITH * carries all forward.
Subqueries — cheat sheet
EXISTS { (a)-[:R]->(b) } // boolean check
COUNT { (a)-[:R]->(b) WHERE a.x > 0 } // count
COLLECT { MATCH (a)-[:R]->(b) RETURN b.name } // collect list (full MATCH+RETURN required)
CALL (p) { MATCH (p)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m) RETURN m } // correlated subquery (explicit import)
OPTIONAL CALL (p) { ... } // nullable subquery
CALL { WITH x ... } deprecated → CALL (x) { ... }. COLLECT {} returns exactly one column.
CALL IN TRANSACTIONS (bulk writes)
CYPHER 25
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///data.csv' AS row
CALL (row) {
MERGE (p:Person {id: row.id}) SET p += row
} IN TRANSACTIONS OF 1000 ROWS ON ERROR CONTINUE REPORT STATUS AS s
Input stream must be outside subquery. Auto-commit only — never wrap in beginTransaction(). PERIODIC COMMIT deprecated.
DISJOINT BY [2026.06, Cypher 25] on IN CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS prevents deadlocks by scheduling batches that share lock-prone resources sequentially — use when importing relationships:
CYPHER 25
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///rels.csv' AS line
CALL (line) {
MATCH (a:Movie {id: line.movieId}), (b:Person {id: line.personId})
MERGE (b)-[:ACTED_IN]->(a)
} IN CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS OF 1000 ROWS DISJOINT BY (line.movieId, line.personId)
DISJOINT BY (expr,...) declares lock keys (outer-query variables only); DISJOINT BY AUTO infers them via static analysis; DISJOINT BY NONE disables. Overrides dbms.cypher.transactions.default_subquery_batch_strategy. EXPLAIN/PROFILE shows keys in DISJOINT BY (...) on TransactionForeach.
QPE basics
CYPHER 25
MATCH SHORTEST 1 (a:Person {name:'Alice'})(()-[:KNOWS]->()){1,}(b:Person {name:'Bob'})
RETURN b.name
// ACYCLIC [2026.03] — no repeated nodes within a path (prevents cycles)
CYPHER 25
MATCH p = ACYCLIC (start:Router {name: $from})-[:LINK]-+(end:Router {name: $to})
RETURN [n IN nodes(p) | n.name] AS route
ORDER BY length(p) LIMIT 5
Quantifier outside group: (pattern){N,M}. Groups start+end with node. REPEATABLE ELEMENTS needs bounded {m,n}. ACYCLIC implies nodes cannot repeat within a path (stronger than default DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS).
Match mode — add after MATCH:
DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS(default) — each rel traversed once per pathREPEATABLE ELEMENTS[2025.x] — nodes/rels revisitable; use for circular routes, weight-optimized paths, constrained backtracking; requires bounded{m,n}
Conditional CALL subqueries [2025.06]
CYPHER 25
MATCH (move:Item {id: $id})
OPTIONAL MATCH (insertBefore:Item {id: $before})
OPTIONAL MATCH (insertAfter:Item {id: $after})
CALL (move, insertBefore, insertAfter) {
WHEN insertBefore IS NULL THEN {
MATCH (last:Item) WHERE NOT (last)-[:NEXT]->() AND last <> move
CREATE (last)-[:NEXT]->(move)
}
WHEN insertAfter IS NULL THEN {
CREATE (move)-[:NEXT]->(insertBefore)
}
ELSE {
CREATE (insertAfter)-[:NEXT]->(move)
CREATE (move)-[:NEXT]->(insertBefore)
}
}
Use WHEN…THEN…ELSE for if-else-if write logic; mutually exclusive (first match wins). Not available pre-2025.06.
Dynamic relationship types [2025.x]
// Create/match/merge with dynamic rel type (must resolve to exactly one STRING)
CYPHER 25 CREATE (a:Node)-[:$($relType)]->(b:Node)
CYPHER 25 MATCH (a:Node)-[:$($relType)]->(b:Node) RETURN a.name, b.name
Spatial / Point
// WGS84 geographic point
SET n.coords = point({longitude: $lon, latitude: $lat})
// Distance in metres; requires POINT index for performance
MATCH (a:Place {name: $origin}) MATCH (b:Place)
RETURN b.name, point.distance(a.coords, b.coords) AS distM
ORDER BY distM LIMIT 10
// Bounding-box pre-filter (uses POINT index) then distance
MATCH (b:Place)
WHERE point.withinBBox(b.coords,
point({longitude: $west, latitude: $south}),
point({longitude: $east, latitude: $north}))
RETURN b.name, point.distance(b.coords, $origin) AS distM
Create POINT index: CREATE POINT INDEX name IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Place) ON (n.coords)
Aggregation grouping keys
Non-aggregating expressions in RETURN/WITH are implicit grouping keys — GROUP BY optional:
// actor + director are grouping keys; count(*) is the aggregate
MATCH (a:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m:Movie)<-[:DIRECTED]-(d:Person)
RETURN a.name, d.name, count(*) AS collaborations
ORDER BY collaborations DESC
// GROUP BY states keys explicitly [2026.07, Cypher 25]
MATCH (p:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m:Movie)
RETURN p.name AS actor, m.genre AS genre, avg(m.rating) AS avgRating
GROUP BY actor, genre
Explicit GROUP BY subclause on WITH/RETURN [2026.07, Cypher 25] states grouping keys explicitly — GQL-aligned alternative to implicit grouping; implicit grouping stays valid:
MATCH (a:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m:Movie)<-[:DIRECTED]-(d:Person)
RETURN a.name, d.name, count(*) AS collaborations GROUP BY a.name, d.name
ORDER BY collaborations DESC
GROUP BY () = no grouping keys (one row); GROUP BY ALL = every non-aggregating return item is a key. Grouping keys absent from the projection are not returned. Rules → references/cypher-syntax.md.
count(n) counts non-null; count(*) counts rows including nulls. collect(DISTINCT expr) deduplicates.
count() is faster than size(collect()) — count() reads the internal store; collect() builds a list first.
ORDER BY/WHERE subclause expressions referencing a projection item more complex than a variable or var.prop are deprecated [2026.07] — alias the expression in the projection and order by the alias. Same for names that shadow an incoming variable. ORDER BY/WHERE may now call aggregation functions absent from the projection list when the projection clause al

2. Schema first — inspect before writing; if schema in prompt, use it directly
3. `MERGE` on constrained key only; rel `MERGE` on already-bound endpoints only

8. `SHOW` commands: `YIELD` before `WHERE`; combinable with general Cypher clauses incl. `UNION`/`RETURN` [2026.05] — `SHOW DATABASES` still requires system db (use `USE system`). `CALL` on `system` db: `YIELD` then `WHERE` [2026.07]
9. Inline node predicates `(:Label WHERE p=x)` — valid in `MATCH` only
10. `WHERE` cannot follow bare `UNWIND` — use `WITH x WHERE`
11. `(a)-[:R]-(b)` — undirected matches both directions, double-counts; use directed unless unknown
