apollo-mcp-server: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

apollo-mcp-server AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from apollographql/apollo-mcp-server. It costs 1,054 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file for Apollo MCP Server, a program that lets AI models call GraphQL services through the Model Context Protocol. It documents the project structure, commands, configuration, and supported connection methods.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the Rust server, checking build or test commands, configuring environment variables or YAML, selecting a transport, or generating documentation.
Why use it?
It gives contributors the project-specific information needed to build, test, format, run, and document the server correctly.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is apollographql/apollo-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on apollo-mcp-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything apollo-mcp-server configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apollo-mcp-server AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 27d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Overview

Apollo MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes GraphQL operations as MCP tools for AI models. It provides a standard way for AI models to access and orchestrate APIs running with Apollo GraphOS.

Build & Test Commands

# Build
cargo build
cargo build --release

# Run all tests
cargo test

# Run a single test
cargo test test_name

# Run tests for a specific crate
cargo test -p apollo-mcp-server

# Linting (CI enforces --deny warnings)
cargo clippy --all-targets -- --deny warnings

# Formatting
cargo fmt
cargo fmt --check

# Generate documentation
cargo doc --no-deps

# Code coverage (requires cargo-llvm-cov)
cargo llvm-cov --all-features --workspace --codecov --output-path codecov.json

Runtime Quick Reference

  • Start with config file: cargo run -p apollo-mcp-server -- path/to/config.yaml
  • Start from env only: cargo run -p apollo-mcp-server
  • Config precedence: APOLLO_MCP_* env overrides YAML values.
  • Supported transports: stdio (default) and streamable_http; sse is not supported.
  • YAML env expansion supports ${env.VAR} and ${env.VAR:-default}.

Common Config Keys

  • Top-level keys: endpoint, transport, operations, schema, introspection, graphos, overrides, headers, forward_headers, health_check, cors, telemetry, logging, server_info, instructions, custom_scalars.
  • auth must be nested under transport (not top-level).
  • operations.source: infer (default), local, manifest, collection, introspect, uplink.
  • schema.source: local or uplink.

Useful Env Vars

  • GraphOS mapping:
    • APOLLO_GRAPH_REF -> graphos.apollo_graph_ref
    • APOLLO_KEY -> graphos.apollo_key
    • APOLLO_UPLINK_ENDPOINTS -> graphos.apollo_uplink_endpoints
  • Nested config override format: APOLLO_MCP_<SECTION>__<NESTED_KEY>=...
    • Example: APOLLO_MCP_INTROSPECTION__EXECUTE__ENABLED=true

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
