  Try: “Show me all my Neo4j Aura instances.”

  Network · list_instances

• Shows full details for one or more instances by ID

  Looks up one instance, or several at once, from their IDs and returns settings such as memory, region and status.

  Try: “Get the details for instance 1a2b3c4d.”

  Network · get_instance_details

• Finds an instance by its name and returns its ID

  Searches your instances for one with a given name. It also gives you the ID that the pause, resize and delete tools need.

  Try: “Find the Aura instance called analytics-prod.”

  Network · get_instance_by_name

• Creates a new Aura instance in a project you choose

  Creates a new instance in a given tenant (project) with the name, memory, region, Neo4j version, type and vector setting you ask for.

  Try: “Create a 2 GB instance named test-graph in project abc123 in us-east-1.”

  Write · create_instance

• Renames an existing instance

  Changes the display name of one instance. The source marks it as a changing action, so confirm which instance it will rename.

  Try: “Rename instance 1a2b3c4d to analytics-staging.”

  Write · update_instance_name

• Changes how much memory an instance has

  Resizes an instance to a new amount of memory in GB. The source marks it as a changing action.

  Try: “Increase instance 1a2b3c4d to 4 GB of memory.”

  Write · update_instance_memory

• Turns vector optimization on or off for an instance

  Switches the vector-optimized setting on an existing instance, which matters if you store embeddings for similarity search.

  Try: “Turn on vector optimization for instance 1a2b3c4d.”

  Write · update_instance_vector_optimization

• Pauses a running instance

  Pauses an instance so it stops running. Resume it with the resume tool when you need it again.

  Starts a paused instance again.

  Try: “Resume the paused instance named test-graph.”

  Write · resume_instance

• Lists your Aura projects (tenants)

  Returns every project (called a tenant in the Aura API) your credentials can reach. You need a project ID to create an instance.

  Returns the settings of one project by its ID.

  Try: “Show details for project abc123.”

  Network · get_tenant_details

• Permanently deletes an Aura instance

  Deletes an instance by ID through the Aura API. The source marks it as destructive and does not add a confirmation step of its own.

  Try: “Delete the instance named test-graph.”

  Delete · delete_instance

Watch out for

• It can delete Aura instances

  The delete tool removes an instance by ID and the source adds no confirmation. Approve each call by hand and check the instance name first. github.com

• It can resize and create instances

  Create and memory tools change what you run in Aura. Use credentials for a test project if you only want to experiment. github.com

• Secret sits in your client config

  If you pass the client secret as a flag it is stored in the config file. The environment-variable form keeps it out of the command line. github.com

• Network mode is off by default

  The server uses stdio unless you pass the HTTP or SSE option, and HTTP mode defaults to 127.0.0.1. github.com
