neo4j-mcp-skill
Use when installing, configuring, or troubleshooting the official Neo4j MCP server (neo4j/mcp): connecting Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Kiro, or other MCP-compatible editors to a Neo4j database via stdio or HTTP transport. Covers the four MCP tools (get-schema, read-cypher, write-cypher, list-gds-procedures), read-only mode, and multi-database configuration. Does NOT cover writing Cypher queries via those tools — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT cover agent memory — use neo4j-agent-memory-skill. Does NOT cover Aura instance provisioning — use neo4j-aura-provisioning-skill.

W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions
What this means
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Why it was flagged
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). The prompt contains multiple patterns that require embedding plaintext credentials verbatim—e.g., JSON editor configs with NEO4J_PASSWORD, passing --neo4j-password on the command line, and constructing base64 "username:password" headers—so an LLM tasked to produce config/commands would need to output secret values directly.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent)
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.70). The skill's installation instructions require fetching and executing remote code from external repos (e.g., "npx skills add https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills" and downloading/using https://github.com/neo4j/mcp or its releases via pip/docker), so those URLs are runtime external dependencies that will execute remote code.
