Install

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.

MCP tools · 14 exposed · ~3,036 tokens

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.

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.

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.

Top subgraphs/connectors by traffic/health for a graph over a time window, as compact CSV.

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.

Common questions

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.
