How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security89
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability62
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3296 tokens (~235/item across 14 items; 14 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage82
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 38% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 14 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 15 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the GraphOS MCP Server server?
GraphOS MCP Server is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.apollographql.com/, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

GetClientMetrics ~646
Traffic broken down by client for a graph over a time window, as compact CSV. Columns: start timestamp, end exclusive timestamp, client name, client version, operation name, request count, request latency p50 ms, request latency p99 ms, request with error count. Answers which clients call a graph, which client versions are still on the wire, and which client drives errors or latency. Clients that do not report `apollographql-client-name`/`-version` come back with empty name and version columns. Ranked by `orderBy` descending: default REQUEST_COUNT (busiest); REQUEST_WITH_ERROR_COUNT for most error-prone, REQUEST_LATENCY_P99_MS for slowest. `variantName` and `operationName` scope to one or more variants or operations by exact name (omit for all). Rows are one per client + version + operation, so a busy graph has far more groups than the other metrics tools: scope by `operationName` or raise `limit` when a breakdown looks truncated. Keep the default `resolution` of ENTIRE_RANGE for totals and top-N, which gives one row per group ranked over the whole window. DAY/HOUR/MINUTE give one row per group per bucket ranked within each bucket, so a window total then needs a per-group sum plus a `limit` big enough to cover every bucket; too small a `limit` silently undercounts. Only HOUR and MINUTE accept a `to` of now, so use them for bursts in the last 24 hours. Avoid MONTH: it labels buckets by calendar month, not by the requested window.

GetLatestLaunch ~102
Inspect the most recent launch for a graph variant: status, completion time, subgraph changes, composition errors, and a schema diff summary vs the previous launch (additions/removals/edits/deprecations plus affected operations). Use to assess schema composition health and the impact of recent schema changes. Also returns the latest approved launch for comparison. Provide the graph ID and variant name.

GetLaunch ~99
Inspect a single launch by ID for full detail: status, timestamps, which subgraphs changed, composition errors, and the schema diff summary. Use to drill into a specific launch — e.g. a failed or superseded one found via GetLaunchHistory (pass its id here). Provide the graph ID, variant name, and launch ID.

GetLaunchHistory ~131
Retrieve recent launches for a graph variant (most recent first) to detect deployment instability such as repeated failures or frequent superseded launches. Each entry includes the launch id, status, and timestamps, so you can identify a specific launch and drill into it with GetLaunch. Use to assess deployment stability. Provide the graph ID, variant name, and optionally a limit (default 20 most recent launches, max 100 per page) and an offset to page further back.

GetLintResults ~93
Retrieve schema lint violations from a graph's most recent check workflows: each diagnostic's coordinate, severity level, message, rule, and source location, plus error/warning/total/ignored counts. Use to assess schema quality and naming/best-practice violations. Provide the graph ID and optionally a limit (default 5 most recent check workflows).

GetMyIdentity ~161
Resolve the caller's identity from their API key or OAuth token. Call this FIRST when the user asks about "my graph" but has not provided a graph ID. For a graph/service key, `me` resolves to a Graph: use `id` as the graphId and `variants[].name` as the variant for the graph-scoped health-check tools, so the user does not have to supply either. For a user (personal key or OAuth), `me` resolves to a User instead: there's no single graph, so each org membership's `graphs[].id` / `graphs[].variants[].name` lists the graphId/variant options the graph-scoped tools need, across every org the user belongs to. Also handles service-account keys.

GetOperationMetrics ~574
Top operations by usage/health for a graph over a time window, as compact CSV. Columns: start timestamp, end exclusive timestamp, operation name, request count, request latency p50 ms, request latency p99 ms, request with error count. Ranked by `orderBy` descending: default REQUEST_COUNT (busiest); REQUEST_WITH_ERROR_COUNT for most error-prone, REQUEST_LATENCY_P99_MS for slowest. `variantName` scopes to one or more variants (omit for all). `clients` scopes to one or more clients; omit `clientVersion` to match every version of that client, and use GetClientMetrics to discover the names a graph sees. Keep the default `resolution` of ENTIRE_RANGE for totals and top-N, which gives one row per operation ranked over the whole window. DAY/HOUR/MINUTE give one row per operation per bucket ranked within each bucket, so a window total then needs a per-operation sum plus a `limit` big enough to cover every bucket; too small a `limit` silently undercounts. Only HOUR and MINUTE accept a `to` of now, so use them for bursts in the last 24 hours. Avoid MONTH: it labels buckets by calendar month, not by the requested window.

GetSubgraphMetrics ~622
Top subgraphs/connectors by traffic/health for a graph over a time window, as compact CSV. Columns: start timestamp, end exclusive timestamp, fetch service name, fetch count, fetch latency p50 ms, fetch latency p99 ms, fetch with errors count. Ranked by `orderBy` descending: default FETCH_COUNT (busiest); FETCH_WITH_ERRORS_COUNT for most error-prone, FETCH_LATENCY_P99_MS for slowest. `variantName` scopes to one or more variants (omit for all). `subgraphName` scopes to one or more subgraphs by exact name (omit for all); pattern/substring matching is not supported. `clients` scopes to the fetches driven by one or more clients; omit `clientVersion` to match every version of that client, and use GetClientMetrics to discover the names a graph sees. Keep the default `resolution` of ENTIRE_RANGE for totals and top-N, which gives one row per subgraph ranked over the whole window. DAY/HOUR/MINUTE give one row per subgraph per bucket ranked within each bucket, so a window total then needs a per-subgraph sum plus a `limit` big enough to cover every bucket; too small a `limit` silently undercounts.

GetTopOperations ~269
Identify the most-used operations on a graph variant for a time range, with request counts, types, and signatures. Use to find high-traffic operations, detect unused operations, and prioritize findings by traffic impact. Provide graph ID, variant, and a from/to time range (ISO 8601 timestamps; `to` must be at least 6 hours before now), plus an optional limit (default 50). This report is rate limited.

What is the GraphOS MCP Server server?
GraphOS MCP Server is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.apollographql/graphos-mcp-server. Search Apollo docs, specs, and best practices. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.apollographql.com).
Is the GraphOS MCP Server server safe to use?
GraphOS MCP Server scores 87 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the GraphOS MCP Server server expose?
GraphOS MCP Server exposes 14 tools: ApolloConnectorsSpec, ApolloDocsRead, GetSubgraphMetrics, GetClientMetrics, GetOperationMetrics, and 9 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,036 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the GraphOS MCP Server server require authentication?
Yes. GraphOS MCP Server asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the GraphOS MCP Server server still maintained?
GraphOS MCP Server is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
