+Add `addVersionPrefix` to `cypherQueryOptions` in context to add a Cypher version with `CYPHER` before each query:
+
+```js
+{
+    cypherQueryOptions: {
+        addVersionPrefix: true,
+    },
+}
+```
+
+This prepends all Cypher queries with a `CYPHER [version]` statement:
+
+```cypher
+CYPHER 5
+MATCH (this:Movie)
+WHERE this.title = $param0
+RETURN this { .title } AS this
+```
