View Management

9 tools for organizing and filtering your atlas.

ToolDescription
list_viewsList all Views in an atlas
get_viewGet View details by ID
create_viewCreate a new View
update_viewUpdate View settings (name, description, type)
delete_viewDelete a View
get_view_pointsGet all Points in a View
add_points_to_viewAdd Points to a View (show them)
remove_point_from_viewRemove a Point from a View (hide it)
get_view_hierarchyGet the folder tree structure for Views

Folder Management

3 tools for organizing Views into folders.

ToolDescription
create_folderCreate a new folder in the sidebar
move_view_to_folderMove a View into a folder
update_view_hierarchyUpdate the full folder/view tree structure

Batch Operations

1 tool for efficient bulk operations.

ToolDescription
batch_createCreate multiple Points and Paths in one atomic operation

Note: The batch_create tool accepts Point names (not IDs) for Path source and target references.

Brain Dump

2 tools for AI-powered atlas generation.

ToolDescription
brain_dumpGenerate Points and Paths from unstructured text using AI
get_brain_dump_statusCheck the status of a brain dump operation

Validation & Ontology

4 tools for ensuring data consistency.

ToolDescription
validate_pointsValidate Point types against the ontology
validate_pathsValidate Path types against the ontology
find_similar_pointsFind existing Points similar to a proposed name
lookup_ontologyBrowse valid types, categories, and Path constraints

Ontology Query Modes

The lookup_ontology tool supports four query modes:

  • point_types - List all valid Point types
  • path_types - List all valid Path types
  • paths_for_type - Get valid Paths for a specific Point type
  • search - Search for types matching a query string

Analytics

4 tools for analyzing atlas structure.

ToolDescription
get_page_rankRank Points by influence and authority
get_betweenness_centralityFind bridge Points connecting different communities
get_node_neighborhoodGet a Point's immediate connections (neighbors)
find_isolated_nodesFind disconnected Points with no Paths

MAGE Graph Algorithms

7 advanced algorithms powered by Memgraph's MAGE library.

ToolDescription
mage_pagerankPageRank algorithm with configurable damping factor
mage_betweenness_centralityBetweenness centrality (normalized)
mage_detect_communitiesCommunity detection via Leiden algorithm
mage_connected_componentsFind disconnected subgraphs (components)
mage_node_similarityCalculate Jaccard similarity between Points
mage_shortest_pathFind shortest Path between two Points using BFS
mage_degree_centralityFind most connected Points (in/out/both directions)

Cypher Queries

1 tool for custom graph queries.

ToolDescription
query_cypherRun custom Cypher queries against your atlas

Tips:

  • Path types are in r.name, not r.type
  • Always scope queries: {atlasId: $atlasId} and filter WHERE p.deletedAt IS NULL
  • All relationships use the single :PATH label; semantic type is on the name property

Troubleshooting

"GRAPHITE_ACCESS_TOKEN required"

Provide a valid JWT token in your environment configuration.

"Failed to connect"

Check that your token is valid, the API URL is correct, and you have network connectivity.

"API Error (401)"

Your token has expired. Generate a new one from Settings > API Keys.

Tools not appearing in Claude

Check client logs, verify JSON syntax in your config file, and restart your Claude application completely.
