## AI overview

This developer article explains how Apollo MCP Server's semantic schema search and tool output minification help AI agents work with large GraphQL schemas while using less context-window capacity.

## Source excerpt

Building efficient AI agents means making every token count. Here's how Apollo MCP Server's new search and minification capabilities help AI models navigate large GraphQL schemas without breaking the context window budget. Picture this: your AI agent needs to help a user find their recent orders from your e-commerce GraphQL API. Your schema has hundreds of types and complex relationships between users, products, orders, payments, and shipping.
