## AI overview

Apollo introduces Apollo MCP Server, which lets AI systems such as Claude and GPT interact with organizational APIs through GraphQL. The article argues that GraphQL-enabled MCP can help address requirements such as deterministic execution, focused context, and policy enforcement in complex AI systems.

## Source excerpt

Today we're introducing Apollo MCP Server, enabling AI systems like Claude and GPT to interact with your organization's APIs through GraphQL. While you can learn more about how to get started here, I wanted to share why we think GraphQL enabled by Model Context Protocol (MCP) will be an essential part of a modern AI stack. Connecting AIs to APIs MCP - a new protocol that standardizes how LLMs interface with external systems - opens the door wide open to agentic applications.
