Apollo MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes GraphQL operations as MCP tools. It provides a standard way for AI models to access and orchestrate your APIs running with Apollo.
MCP.Pizza Chef: apollographql
This one is built for engineering teams rather than individuals. If your company already serves its data through Apollo, someone technical chooses which saved queries to expose, writes a settings file, and points an assistant at the result — after which anyone can ask about whatever that graph holds, such as customers, orders, or inventory. There is nothing for a non-technical person to install: it is a service your company runs, published by Apollo as ready-made binaries and a container image.

README
apollo-mcp-server FAQ
Can I set this up myself?
Only if your company already runs Apollo. Someone technical has to start the service, list the queries it is allowed to run, and write a configuration file first.
Does it cost anything?
The server itself is free and open source under the MIT licence. It supplies no data of its own — it only sits in front of a graph your company already runs.
Which apps does it work in?
Any MCP client. Apollo's guide covers connecting an assistant, or the MCP Inspector tool for testing.
Can I use this to look up our own records by asking a question?
Yes — but only the specific lookups your team decided to make available, which is deliberate.
Is it maintained?
Yes, actively. Apollo maintains it themselves and it had new commits within the last day.
Where are the full instructions?
On Apollo's documentation site. The code repository itself only covers the basics and links out for the rest.
