6 SELECTED TOOLS
OUR ASSESSMENT
Apollo GraphQL ships an official MCP server that exposes Apollo Studio graphs, schemas, registered operations, and recent changes. Tool surface covers list_graphs, get_schema, list_operations, execute_operation, query_schema, list_recent_changes. Pairs with the existing Apollo CLI for local development workflows.
- Official Apollo GraphQL maintenance.
- 280 GitHub stars and MIT licence.
- 40 commits on main in the last 30 days, top cadence in this batch.
- Direct access to Apollo Studio graphs, schemas, operations, and registered queries.
- Pairs with the existing Apollo CLI for local development.
- Requires an Apollo Studio account and graph API key.
- Tool surface scoped to Apollo Studio; pure GraphQL servers outside Studio integration use the schema introspection layer only.
- 280 GitHub stars; adoption is early.
The MCP carries an Apollo Studio graph API key. Scope the key to the specific graph variant the agent should access. Apollo Studio API keys can be created with read-only or operator-level permissions; choose the minimum scope for the agent flow.
Teams using Apollo GraphQL with Apollo Studio who want agents to inspect schemas and run registered operations from inside the editor; GraphQL-first organisations adopting MCP-based agent workflows; multi-graph architectures that benefit from agent-driven schema introspection.

SOURCES & RECORDED CHECKS
These are the directory listings and check details held in this record. Client compatibility, directory listings and installation testing are separate signals. Recorded client names describe the scope of a check; they do not establish a security assessment or a recurring test schedule.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
