About Neo4j GDS Agent

The GDS Agent let LLMs reason and do data science work on your graph data in Neo4j, by using two artifacts: It works with any MCP-capable harness — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, VS Code/Copilot, Gemini CLI — and programmatically from agent frameworks. It uses the GDS plugin on self-managed Neo4j and GDS Aura Graph Analytics sessions on AuraDB, over STDIO or HTTP transport.
