The Apollo MCP Server enables AI systems like Claude and GPT to interact with organization's APIs through GraphQL, a standardized protocol that standardizes how Large Language Models (LLMs) interface with external systems. The server provides an abstraction layer between the AI and APIs, exposing a set of Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools that provide specific capabilities backed by orchestrated API calls. GraphQL is an ideal foundation for this orchestration layer due to its declarative, performant, self-documenting, standards-based, and self-service nature. The server aligns with the needs of complex AI systems, which require deterministic execution, policy enforcement, efficiency, and agility. By using GraphQL, teams can build modern API infrastructure that accommodates the pace of AI development and facilitates continuous improvement. The Apollo MCP Server represents a continued investment in making GraphQL the best way to build modern API infrastructure, providing an entry point for connecting AI to existing graph APIs.
