graphql

graphql is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tmolavi/mcp-agent-skills-hub. It costs 53 tokens per session (5,980 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing and using GraphQL APIs, which let clients request selected data through a typed schema. It covers schemas, resolvers, related services, subscriptions, and protection against overly costly queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design GraphQL schemas and resolvers, avoid repeated database queries, connect multiple services, add live updates, and integrate clients.
Why use it?
It helps keep flexible data requests understandable and prevents poorly controlled queries from overloading a server.

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

graphql 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 9d 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.

GraphQL

GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server.

This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.

2025 lesson: GraphQL isn't always the answer. For simple CRUD, REST is simpler. For high-performance public APIs, REST with caching wins. Use GraphQL when you have complex data relationships and diverse client needs.

Principles

  • Schema-first design - the schema is the contract
  • Prevent N+1 queries with DataLoader
  • Limit query depth and complexity
  • Use fragments for reusable selections
  • Mutations should be specific, not generic update operations
  • Errors are data - use union types for expected failures
  • Nullability is meaningful - design it intentionally

Capabilities

  • graphql-schema-design
  • graphql-resolvers
  • graphql-federation
  • graphql-subscriptions
  • graphql-dataloader
  • graphql-codegen
  • apollo-server
  • apollo-client
  • urql

Scope

  • database-queries -> postgres-wizard
  • authentication -> authentication-oauth
  • rest-api-design -> backend
  • websocket-infrastructure -> backend

Tooling

Server

  • @apollo/server - When: Apollo Server v4 Note: Most popular GraphQL server
  • graphql-yoga - When: Lightweight alternative Note: Good for serverless
  • mercurius - When: Fastify integration Note: Fast, uses JIT

Client

  • @apollo/client - When: Full-featured client Note: Caching, state management
  • urql - When: Lightweight alternative Note: Smaller, simpler
  • graphql-request - When: Simple requests Note: Minimal, no caching

Tools

  • graphql-codegen - When: Type generation Note: Essential for TypeScript
  • dataloader - When: N+1 prevention Note: Batches and caches

graphql is a skill published in the GitHub repository tmolavi/mcp-agent-skills-hub (8 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 5,980 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
