Description

n8n-nodes-memgraph

An n8n community node to interact with Memgraph – an in-memory graph database compatible with the Neo4j Bolt protocol.

Installation

In your n8n instance, go to Settings → Community Nodes and install:

n8n-nodes-memgraph

Or, for local/self-hosted n8n:

npm install n8n-nodes-memgraph

Prerequisites

A running Memgraph instance accessible via the Bolt protocol (default port 7687).

Quick start with Docker:

docker run -p 7687:7687 memgraph/memgraph

Credentials

Configure the Memgraph API credential with:

| Field | Description | Default |
|———-|———————————————————-|—————————-|
| Bolt URL | Bolt connection URL | bolt://localhost:7687 |
| Username | Username (leave empty if auth is disabled) | (empty) |
| Password | Password (leave empty if auth is disabled) | (empty) |

Operations

Run Cypher Query

Execute any custom Cypher query and return all result records.

Parameters:

  • Cypher Query – the query to execute (e.g. MATCH (n) RETURN n LIMIT 25)
  • Query Parameters – JSON object of parameters referenced in the query (e.g. {"name": "Alice"})
  • Create Node

    Create a new node with a label and a set of properties.

    Parameters:

  • Label – node label (e.g. Person)
  • Properties – JSON object of properties (e.g. {"name": "Alice", "age": 30})
  • Returns the created node with its internal id and labels.

    Get Node

    Retrieve nodes by label with an optional property filter.

    Parameters:

  • Label – node label to match
  • Filter Property – property name to filter by (optional)
  • Filter Value – value to match (optional)
  • Limit – max number of nodes to return (default 25)
  • Update Node

    Update properties on nodes that match a label and a property value.

    Parameters:

  • Label – node label to match
  • Match Property – property used to identify target nodes
  • Match Value – value to match
  • Update Properties – JSON object with properties to set/update (uses SET n += …)
  • Delete Node

    Delete nodes matching a label and a property value.

    Parameters:

  • Label – node label to match
  • Match Property – property used to identify target nodes
  • Match Value – value to match
  • Detach Relationships – if enabled (default), uses DETACH DELETE to remove connected relationships too
  • Returns { success, nodesDeleted, relationshipsDeleted }.

    Create Relationship

    Create a directed relationship between two nodes identified by their internal IDs.

    Parameters:

  • From Node ID – internal ID of the source node
  • To Node ID – internal ID of the target node
  • Relationship Type – relationship type (e.g. KNOWS, WORKS_AT)
  • Relationship Properties – JSON object of properties for the relationship

Result Format

Node results include:

{
  "_id": 0,
  "_labels": ["Person"],
  "name": "Alice",
  "age": 30
}

Relationship results include:

{
  "_id": 0,
  "_type": "KNOWS",
  "_startNodeId": 0,
  "_endNodeId": 1,
  "since": 2020
}
