Thanks in advance.

This would be help you.

cy.on('mouseover', 'node', function(event) {
    var node = event.cyTarget;
    node.qtip({
         content: 'hello',
         show: {
            event: event.type,
            ready: true
         },
         hide: {
            event: 'mouseout unfocus'
         }
    }, event);
});

but it still remains show (not hide) sometime when there are many nodes.

You can still use QTip. Because cy.js doesn't have associated DOM elements per graph element, you'll need to either (1) create dummy HTML DOM elements to position the QTips or (2) use the QTip API to manually position the QTips to the nodes.

Cy.js provides event binding APIs, so you can just bind to mouseover etc on that end: http://cytoscape.github.io/cytoscape.js/#core/events
