Guide for using Apollo MCP Server to connect AI agents with GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when: (1) setting up or configuring Apollo MCP Server, (2) defining MCP tools from GraphQL operations, (3) using introspection tools (introspect, search, validate, execute, explorer), (4) configuring authentication, CORS, health checks, or telemetry, (5) writing Rhai scripts for request lifecycle hooks, (6) defining MCP prompts, (7) troubleshooting MCP server connectivity or tool execution issues, (8) building MCP Apps for interactive UI experiences, (9) deploying Apollo MCP Server to production.

## From README

Apollo MCP Server Guide Apollo MCP Server exposes GraphQL operations as MCP tools, enabling AI agents to interact with GraphQL APIs through the Model Context Protocol. Step 1: Step 2: Configure Create config.yaml in your project root: Start the server: The MCP endpoint is available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp (streamablehttp defaults: address 127.0.0.1, port 8000). The GraphQL endpoint defaults to http://localhost:4000/ — override with the endpoint key if your API runs elsewhere. The server watches the config file for changes and automatically restarts with updated configuration.
