Upgraded MCP Server supports scalable AI agent integration.
REST API Connectors now offer batch support for better performance.
New Developer and Standard plans feature usage-based pricing.
Platform orchestrates over 1 trillion operations monthly.
Enables faster development of AI-powered applications.
GraphQL’s declarative, schema-driven approach to API orchestration addresses the complexities of coordinating API calls, caching, and security. As AI agents require robust data retrieval and system interaction, GraphQL eliminates the need for sprawling middleware code. "AI agents need the ability to retrieve data, modify systems, and take actions in the real world, and that requires a robust API orchestration foundation," said Matt DeBergalis, CTO and co-founder of Apollo GraphQL. These enhancements make GraphOS a critical platform for developing agentic AI applications.
The enhanced Apollo MCP Server connects graph APIs to AI models via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). New features include streamable HTTP for scalable communication, advanced tool definition with Collections for seamless workflows, and container deployment with telemetry and authentication. These capabilities accelerate AI agent development, enabling organizations to deploy AI applications with greater efficiency and security.
Apollo Connectors for REST APIs now support batch endpoints, consolidating multiple API calls into efficient batches. This reduces network overhead and boosts query performance for data-intensive applications. The enhancement allows seamless integration with existing REST APIs into GraphQL architectures, preserving investments while improving responsiveness and scalability.
Apollo GraphQL introduces Developer and Standard subscription plans with usage-based pricing, designed to democratize access to GraphQL. These plans include the full GraphOS platform, schema registry, analytics, and connectors, enabling organizations to start small and grow. "We want to enable developers to experiment, learn, and grow, and realize the value of graph-based API orchestration at their own pace," said Rob Brazier, VP of Product of Apollo GraphQL. The plans support collaborative and secure development with user licenses and identity provider integration.
The GraphOS platform, now handling over 25 trillion operations monthly operations monthly for Apollo, supports Fortune 500 enterprises enterprises and AI-driven applications alike. These enhancements provide a scalable foundation for organizations at any stage of their AI adoption AI journey, reinforcing Apollo GraphQL’s leadership in API orchestration for an agentic future.
Apollo GraphQL helps developers build better software faster with a declarative, graph-based approach to API orchestration. With over 1 billion downloads of its open-source software, Apollo has become the standard for working with GraphQL and powers the most innovative brands today. The Apollo GraphOS® platform provides the infrastructure to unify APIs into a composable graph, enabling teams to query data from anywhere and ship new experiences with speed and confidence.
