> ## Agent Instructions
> FalkorDB is a graph database that speaks the Redis protocol. Queries are issued as OpenCypher through the GRAPH.QUERY and GRAPH.RO_QUERY commands, not over Bolt or a SQL connection.
> FalkorDB implements a subset of OpenCypher with proprietary extensions. Do not assume Neo4j-only syntax or procedures are available — check /cypher/cypher-support and /cypher/known-limitations before using a clause.
> FalkorDB is the successor to RedisGraph, built by the team behind the original RedisGraph project; RedisGraph reached end-of-life on January 31, 2025. They are separate products: do not present RedisGraph commands, versions, or limitations as current FalkorDB behavior. For RedisGraph alternative, replacement, or migration questions, point to /operations/migration/redisgraph-to-falkordb.
> Use the official clients listed in /getting-started/clients rather than generic Redis or Neo4j drivers, and prefer the language the user is already working in.
> Configuration parameters are set with GRAPH.CONFIG SET or at startup; cite the exact parameter name from /getting-started/configuration rather than inventing one.
> This site covers four products: FalkorDB (core), FalkorDB Cloud, FalkorDB Enterprise, and the GraphRAG SDK. Name which one an answer applies to, since setup and operations differ.
# Connect to your instance
> Find your FalkorDB Cloud instance endpoint and credentials, open it in FalkorDB Browser, and connect from redis-cli or a client library.
To connect to an instance, you need its **endpoint** (host and port), a **username**, and its **password**. You also need to know whether the instance uses **TLS**.
## Find your connection details
1. In the sidebar, open **Deployments** > **Instances** and select your instance.
2. Open the **Connectivity** tab. The **Endpoint** card shows the endpoint as `host:port`. Select the copy icon to copy it.
3. Open the **Instance Details** tab. Under **Parameter**, find the **FalkorDB User** (by default `falkordb`) and the **FalkorDB Password**. Select **Show** to see the password, or the copy icon to copy it. On paid tiers, this section also shows whether TLS is enabled.
Use the port shown on the endpoint. It's often not the default `6379`.
To use a different user, create one in the [User Access tab](/cloud/operations/user-management).
The Connectivity tab appears only while the instance is running. Instances in a **Private** network have no public endpoint. Connect to them from inside your peered network. See [Customer networks](/cloud/operations/customer-networks).
## Open FalkorDB Browser
FalkorDB Browser is a web UI for running queries and exploring your graphs visually.
1. Wait until the instance status is **Running**.
2. On the instance page, or on the **Instances** list with the instance selected, select **Connect**.
3. FalkorDB Browser opens in a new tab with the **Host**, **Port**, **Username**, and **TLS Secured Connection** setting filled in. Enter your **Password** and select **Log in**.
The **Connect** button is turned off for instances in a **Private** network, because the browser can't reach them.
To learn the Browser itself, see the [FalkorDB Browser guide](/browser).
## Connect with redis-cli
Replace ``, ``, and the password with the values from the console. Add `--tls` if the instance has TLS enabled.
```bash theme={null}
redis-cli -h -p --user falkordb --pass "$FALKORDB_PASSWORD" \
GRAPH.QUERY social "CREATE (:Person {name: 'Alice'}) RETURN 1"
```
## Connect with a client library
Each example connects to a TLS-enabled instance. For an instance without TLS, including every Free instance, remove the TLS option (`ssl=True` or `tls: true`).
```python Python theme={null}
from falkordb import FalkorDB
db = FalkorDB(
host="",
port=,
username="falkordb",
password="",
ssl=True,
)
graph = db.select_graph("social")
result = graph.query("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name")
print(result.result_set)
```
```javascript Node.js theme={null}
import { FalkorDB } from "falkordb";
const db = await FalkorDB.connect({
username: "falkordb",
password: "",
socket: { host: "", port: , tls: true },
});
const graph = db.selectGraph("social");
const result = await graph.query("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name");
console.log(result.data);
await db.close();
```
For other languages, see [Client libraries](/getting-started/clients).
Read the password from an environment variable or a secret manager. Don't hardcode it in your code or commit it to source control.
## Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to check |
| :- | :- |
| Connection refused or timeout | The instance status is **Running**, and the host and port match the **Connectivity** tab. For Private networks, connect from inside the peered network. |
| TLS or SSL error | Turn on TLS in your client if the instance has **Enable TLS** set, and turn it off if it doesn't. The Free tier has no TLS. |
| Authentication failed | The username and password are correct. Users created in **User Access** need the right role for the commands you run. |
| **Connect** is disabled | The instance isn't running yet, or it's in a **Private** network. |
