🎯 This Week's Spotlight

Neo4j MCP Servers Supercharge Graph-Powered AI

The Docker MCP Toolkit catalog has expanded with powerful Neo4j MCP servers, bringing graph database capabilities directly to your AI workflows:

🔹 Neo4j Cloud Aura API - Manage Neo4j Aura database instances through the Neo4j Aura API with 12 tools (899 downloads, 2⭐)

🔹 Neo4j Cypher - Interact with Neo4j using Cypher graph queries with 3 tools (1.8K downloads, 1⭐)

🔹 Neo4j Memory - Provide persistent memory capabilities through Neo4j graph database integration with 10 tools (1.5K downloads, 6⭐)

These servers enable natural language querying of graph databases, persistent memory storage, and complex relationship modelling - perfect for knowledge graphs, recommendation systems, and context-aware AI applications.

🌟 Google Open Sources Gemini CLI - The Free AI Agent Revolution

Google dropped a bombshell on June 25, 2025, with the launch of Gemini CLI - a completely free, open-source AI agent that brings the full power of Gemini 2.5 Pro directly into your terminal.

29.7K GitHub stars in just 20 hours is massive 🔥

Key Highlights:

  • Open Source: Available under Apache 2.0 license on GitHub
  • Generous Free Tier: 60 model requests/minute, 1,000 requests/day
  • Massive Context: 1 million token context window
  • MCP Integration: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
  • Multimodal Capabilities: Generate content with Imagen, Veo, and Lyria
  • Universal Access: Just login with a personal Google account

What makes it special:

  • Query and edit large codebases beyond Gemini's 1M token window
  • Generate new apps from PDFs or sketches using multimodal capabilities
  • Automate operational tasks like pull requests and complex rebases
  • Connect to external databases and enterprise systems via MCP

This directly competes with OpenAI's Codex CLI and Anthropic's Claude Code, but with unprecedented free access for individual developers.

🙋 Q&A Highlights

Q: How does Gemini CLI compare to other AI coding tools?

A: Gemini CLI stands out with its completely free tier (60 requests/min, 1K/day), open-source nature (Apache 2.0), and native MCP support. Unlike OpenAI Codex or Claude Code which are paid services, Gemini CLI provides enterprise-grade capabilities at no cost for individual developers.

Q: What makes Neo4j MCP servers special for AI applications?

A: Neo4j MCP servers enable persistent memory through graph databases, allowing AI agents to maintain context across conversations and build complex relationship models. This is perfect for knowledge graphs, recommendation systems, and enterprise data that has complex interconnections.

Q: How secure is MCP for enterprise use?

A: MCP includes enterprise security features like OAuth 2.1 integration, granular access controls, and data segmentation. Microsoft and other vendors are implementing additional security layers including prompt isolation and runtime policy enforcement.
