What is the Apollo GraphOS MCP Server?

The Apollo GraphOS MCP server gives AI agents structured, permission-aware access to Apollo GraphOS through the Model Context Protocol. With 3 pre-built actions, agents can read, create, and update Apollo GraphOS data on behalf of authorized users.

Willow ships the Apollo GraphOS MCP server as part of an enterprise control plane. Every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to a full audit trail, and integrates with Splunk and Loki for SIEM visibility. Connect from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, n8n, or any custom agent. Install once, distribute org-wide, and see exactly how Apollo GraphOS is being used by every AI agent in your stack.

Tools

ApolloConnectorsSpec

This tool provides the agent with the specification which describes how to use Apollo Connectors in a graphql schema to send an HTTP request or use any REST API with a graph. A user may refer to an Apollo Connector as 'Apollo Connector', 'REST Connector', or even just 'Connector'. Treat these all as synonyms for the same thing. You MUST ALWAYS call this tool to use this specification as a guide BEFORE planning, making, or proposing ANY edits or additions to a connectors schema file and/or a graphql file containing @connect or @source. This tool is to provide the agent with guidance, not the user.

ApolloDocsRead

Fetches the complete markdown content of an Apollo documentation page using its slug, or everything after https://apollographql.com/docs. Documentation slugs can be obtained from the SearchDocs tool results. Use this after ApolloDocsSearch to read full pages rather than just excerpts. Content will be given in chunks with the totalCount field specifying the total number of chunks. Start with a chunkIndex of 0 and fetch each chunk.

ApolloDocsSearch

Searches official Apollo GraphQL documentation (Apollo GraphQL, GraphOS, Apollo Router, Apollo Client, API orchestration, MCP Server, schema design, deployment best practices, connectors, and platform usage). Returns url, slug, and markdown content excerpts. For complete page content, you MUST use the returned slug with the ApolloDocsRead tool. Use this tool when you need technical information, configuration examples, best practices, and troubleshooting guides for any Apollo GraphQL technology. Use the ApolloDocsRead tool to get all of the content for a given search result using the slug, don't use a WebSearch.

Enterprise Governance for Apollo GraphOS

Willow adds the layer Apollo GraphOS and every other SaaS doesn't ship out of the box: every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to full audit logs, and detects shadow AI usage across your stack. One MCP gateway. Any agent. Every tool.

Apollo GraphOS MCP Server FAQ

What is the Apollo GraphOS MCP server?

The Apollo GraphOS MCP server is a Model Context Protocol implementation that lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT read and write Apollo GraphOS data through a standardized interface. Willow hosts and governs this server so enterprises can roll it out without a security review backlog.

How is Willow's Apollo GraphOS MCP server different from the official one?

The official Apollo GraphOS MCP server is scoped to a single user's account and does not include enterprise governance. Willow's version adds SSO, RBAC, audit logging, shadow AI detection, and centralized control over which actions agents can take across the entire org.

Which AI clients work with the Apollo GraphOS MCP server?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code with MCP support, n8n, and any custom agent built with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, or Anthropic SDK.

Is the Apollo GraphOS MCP server secure? How does Willow handle authentication?

Every call runs behind your existing SSO (Okta, Azure AD). Per-user OAuth scopes the agent to exactly what that user can do in Apollo GraphOS, nothing more. No credentials reach the LLM. Every action writes to an audit trail.

Can I limit which Apollo GraphOS actions agents can take?

Yes. Willow lets you scope agents to specific actions, specific projects, or specific environments. Toggle actions on or off in the dashboard, or enforce policy via infrastructure-as-code through GitHub.

How do I detect shadow Apollo GraphOS MCP servers in my org?

Willow's browser extension and discovery service surface unmanaged MCP servers, skills, and AI agents across the org. If a developer installed an unapproved Apollo GraphOS MCP locally, you'll see it.

What does the Apollo GraphOS MCP server cost?

Pricing depends on org size and deployment model (SaaS, dedicated cloud, self-host). See withwillow.ai/pricing or contact sales for a quote.

How do I install the Apollo GraphOS MCP server with Willow?

Install via the Willow Connect Panel in one click, or paste the JSON snippet above into your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code config. SSO and RBAC inherit from your existing Willow setup.
