Lars Varming 341efd8c3d Fix: Critical database parameter bug + index creation error handling
CRITICAL FIX - Database Parameter (graphiti_core):
- Fixed graphiti_core/driver/neo4j_driver.py execute_query method
- database_ parameter was incorrectly added to params dict instead of kwargs
- Now correctly passed as keyword argument to Neo4j driver
- Impact: All queries now execute in configured database (not default 'neo4j')
- Root cause: Violated Neo4j Python driver API contract

Technical Details:
Previous code (BROKEN):
  params.setdefault('database_', self._database)  # Wrong - in params dict
  result = await self.client.execute_query(cypher_query_, parameters_=params, **kwargs)

Fixed code (CORRECT):
  kwargs.setdefault('database_', self._database)  # Correct - in kwargs
  result = await self.client.execute_query(cypher_query_, parameters_=params, **kwargs)

FIX - Index Creation Error Handling (MCP server):
- Added graceful handling for Neo4j IF NOT EXISTS bug
- Prevents MCP server crash when indices already exist
- Logs warning instead of failing initialization
- Handles EquivalentSchemaRuleAlreadyExists error gracefully

Files Modified:
- graphiti_core/driver/neo4j_driver.py (3 lines changed)
- mcp_server/src/graphiti_mcp_server.py (12 lines added error handling)
- mcp_server/pyproject.toml (version bump to 1.0.5)

Testing:
- Python syntax validation: PASSED
- Ruff formatting: PASSED
- Ruff linting: PASSED

Closes issues with:
- Data being stored in wrong Neo4j database
- MCP server crashing on startup with EquivalentSchemaRuleAlreadyExists
- NEO4J_DATABASE environment variable being ignored

# Graphiti Project Overview
## ⚠️ CRITICAL CONSTRAINT: Fork-Specific Rules
**DO NOT MODIFY `graphiti_core/` DIRECTORY**
This is a fork that maintains custom MCP server changes while using the official graphiti-core from PyPI.
**Allowed modifications:**
-`mcp_server/` - Custom MCP server implementation
-`DOCS/` - Documentation
-`.github/workflows/build-custom-mcp.yml` - Build workflow
**Forbidden modifications:**
-`graphiti_core/` - Use official PyPI version
-`server/` - Use upstream version
- ❌ Root `pyproject.toml` (unless critical for build)
**Why this matters:**
- Docker builds use graphiti-core from PyPI, not local source
- Local changes break upstream compatibility
- Causes merge conflicts when syncing upstream
- Custom image only includes MCP server changes
## Purpose
Graphiti is a Python framework for building and querying temporally-aware knowledge graphs, specifically designed for AI agents operating in dynamic environments. It continuously integrates user interactions, structured/unstructured data, and external information into a coherent, queryable graph with incremental updates and efficient retrieval.
## Key Features
- **Bi-temporal data model**: Explicit tracking of event occurrence times
- **Hybrid retrieval**: Combining semantic embeddings, keyword search (BM25), and graph traversal
- **Custom entity definitions**: Support via Pydantic models
- **Real-time incremental updates**: No batch recomputation required
- **Multiple graph backends**: Neo4j and FalkorDB support
- **Optional OpenTelemetry tracing**: For distributed systems
## Use Cases
- Integrate and maintain dynamic user interactions and business data
- Facilitate state-based reasoning and task automation for agents
- Query complex, evolving data with semantic, keyword, and graph-based search methods
## Relationship to Zep
Graphiti powers the core of Zep, a turn-key context engineering platform for AI Agents. This is the open-source version that provides flexibility for custom implementations.
## Tech Stack
- **Language**: Python 3.10+
- **Package Manager**: uv (modern, fast Python package installer)
- **Core Dependencies**:
- Pydantic 2.11.5+ (data validation and models)
- Neo4j 5.26.0+ (primary graph database)
- OpenAI 1.91.0+ (LLM inference and embeddings)
- Tenacity 9.0.0+ (retry logic)
- DiskCache 5.6.3+ (caching)
- **Optional Integrations**:
- Anthropic (Claude models)
- Google Gemini
- Groq
- FalkorDB (alternative graph database)
- Kuzu (graph database)
- Neptune (AWS graph database)
- VoyageAI (embeddings)
- Sentence Transformers (local embeddings)
- OpenTelemetry (tracing)
- **Development Tools**:
- Ruff (linting and formatting)
- Pyright (type checking)
- Pytest (testing framework with pytest-asyncio and pytest-xdist)
