GraphQL MCP Server

GraphQL MCP Server

npm License: MIT

MCP server for GraphQL — schema introspection, auto-generated tools, query/mutation execution for Claude, Cursor, and AI agents.

What It Does

Connects to any GraphQL endpoint and gives AI agents the ability to:

  • Introspect schemas — discover all types, queries, mutations, and subscriptions

  • Execute queries and mutations — raw GraphQL strings or typed field-based calls

  • Search and explore — find types, fields, and arguments across the schema

  • Manage connections — switch endpoints, configure auth, cache schemas

Configuration (Claude Desktop)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "graphql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@supernova123/graphql-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT": "https://your-api.com/graphql",
        "GRAPHQL_AUTH_TOKEN=***"
      }
    }
  }
}

Features

  • No external GraphQL library — minimal dependency surface, works at the HTTP layer

  • Schema caching — introspect once, reuse across tool calls

  • Retry with backoff — transient errors (5xx, 429, timeouts) are retried automatically

  • Output sanitization — ANSI stripping and length capping prevent prompt injection

  • Type-safe — TypeScript with Zod validation on all tool inputs

  • Auth flexibility — Bearer tokens, Basic auth, or arbitrary HTTP headers
