Apollo MCP Server
Officialby
Expose GraphQL operations as MCP tools, enabling AI models to access and orchestrate APIs running with Apollo.
Apollo MCP Server Overview
What is Apollo MCP Server about?
Apollo MCP Server provides a standard way for AI models to interact with and orchestrate your GraphQL APIs by exposing those operations as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools.
How to use Apollo MCP Server?
- Install – either build from source with Rust (
cargo build) or follow the official installation guide for pre‑built binaries. - Configure – create a configuration file that specifies the target GraphQL graph, the operations to expose, and runtime options.
- Run – start the server (e.g.,
./target/debug/apollo-mcp-serveror the installed binary) and connect an MCP client (LLM, MCP inspector, etc.). - Interact – the client can now invoke the defined GraphQL operations through MCP calls.
Key Features
- Direct mapping of GraphQL queries/mutations to MCP tools.
- Rust‑based implementation for high performance and safety.
- Flexible configuration file supporting multiple graphs and operation sets.
- Compatibility with any MCP‑compliant client, including LLMs and the MCP inspector.
- Comprehensive documentation, quick‑start tutorial, and user guide.
Use Cases
- AI‑driven API orchestration – let large language models call your existing GraphQL services without custom code.
- Tool‑enabled agents – expose specific GraphQL actions as reusable MCP tools for autonomous agents.
- Testing & debugging – use the MCP inspector to explore and interact with your GraphQL API through the MCP layer.
- Rapid prototyping – quickly prototype AI‑augmented features by wiring GraphQL endpoints to MCP.
FAQ
- Do I need to write any code to expose GraphQL operations? No, you only need to list the desired operations in the configuration file.
- Can I run this on a production server? Yes, the binary can be deployed like any other service; ensure you secure the configuration and network access.
- Is there a Docker image available? Official container images are provided via the release workflow.
- What languages can the MCP client be written in? Any language that can speak the MCP protocol; the server is language‑agnostic.
- How do I update to a newer version? Pull the latest release binaries or rebuild from the updated source using
cargo build.

Usage
Full usage of Apollo MCP Server is documented on the user guide. There are a few items that are necessary for this server to function. Specifically, the following things must be configured:
- A graph for the MCP server to sit in front of.
- Definitions for the GraphQL operations that should be exposed as MCP tools.
- A configuration file describing how the MCP server should run.
- A connection to an MCP client, such as an LLM or MCP inspector.
These are all described on the user guide. Specific configuration options for the configuration file are documented in the command reference.
