Apollo GraphQL MCP Server (Official)
Official Apollo GraphQL MCP server enabling AI agents to interact with Apollo's GraphQL platform — querying schemas, executing GraphQL operations, inspecting Apollo Studio graphs, managing schema checks, and interacting with federated supergraphs.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
HTTPS enforced. Graph-scoped keys. SOC 2, GDPR. Persisted queries for production.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
An agent needs to interact with GraphQL APIs, Apollo-managed schemas, or federated supergraphs — especially in Apollo Studio-managed environments.
Avoid When
You're using Hasura, Postgraphile, or another GraphQL platform without Apollo.
Use Cases
- • Querying GraphQL schemas for context-aware API development agents
- • Executing GraphQL queries for data retrieval agents
- • Inspecting Apollo Studio graph variants from DevOps agents
- • Running schema checks for CI/CD integration agents
- • Exploring federated supergraph structure from architecture agents
- • Monitoring GraphQL operation performance from observability agents
Not For
- • REST API management (Apollo is GraphQL-specific)
- • Teams using Hasura, StepZen, or other GraphQL platforms
- • Non-GraphQL API development
Interface
Authentication
Apollo Studio API keys with graph-level and org-level permissions. Personal API keys for development. Graph-scoped keys for CI/CD.
Pricing
Apollo Studio free tier generous for development. Self-hosted Apollo Router is open source. MCP server is open source.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Graph ID and variant (current, staging, etc.) required for schema queries
- ⚠ Introspection must be enabled on the schema — sometimes disabled in production
- ⚠ Federated supergraph queries need understanding of subgraph structure
- ⚠ GraphQL query complexity limits may apply — agents should keep queries focused
- ⚠ Apollo Studio rate limits vary by plan tier
- ⚠ Schema checks are async — agents must poll for check completion
