Overview

MCP server that turns existing GraphQL operations into AI-callable MCP tools for clients and agents.

Details

Apollo MCP Server is an Apollo GraphQL project for exposing GraphQL operations as Model Context Protocol tools. Apollo’s documentation describes it as an MCP server that exposes GraphQL operations as AI-callable tools and supports local, Docker, and Streamable HTTP deployments. Apollo’s product page says it turns existing GraphQL operations into MCP tools for clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or custom agents. The docs also describe tool sources including local operation files, operation collections, persisted query manifests, GraphOS-managed persisted queries, and optional introspection tools for schema exploration.

When to Use

Use when you want AI clients or custom agents to call curated GraphQL operations through MCP. Use when your GraphQL API already has operations operation collections persisted query manifests or GraphOS-managed persisted queries that should be exposed as tools. Use when you need an MCP server deployment path documented for local Docker or Streamable HTTP usage.
