This Week in Neo4j: Road to NODES, MCP, GraphRAG, BandtoBand and more
Blog post from Neo4j
In the latest edition of "This Week in Neo4j," readers are introduced to a variety of events and innovations in the realm of graph databases, such as the Road to NODES workshops designed to enhance graph skills and the creation of GraphRAG pipelines using Neo4j and other tools for offline or privacy-sensitive applications. The edition highlights the Neo4j Model Context Protocol (MCP), which helps transform everyday tasks into structured graphs, and the BandtoBand project that maps the interconnectedness of rock bands through shared members, creating a vast "family tree" of music relationships. Additionally, the article features Dattaraj Rao, an AI thought leader and speaker at NODES 2025, who, alongside Sadashiv Borkar, will discuss the integration of agentic AI with enterprise knowledge graphs. The newsletter also provides information on upcoming conferences, meetups, and the GraphSummit Series, inviting readers to join the Neo4j User Research panel to influence future product development.
