…l vars When shell environment has NEO4J_URI set (e.g., from .zshrc), the default load_dotenv() behavior doesn't override it, causing the MCP server to connect to the wrong database. This fix ensures the .env file credentials take precedence over any pre-existing shell environment variables. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
