Apollo GraphQL Launches AI-Ready Enhancements to GraphOS Platform for Agentic Application Development
Apollo GraphQL today announced a major update to its GraphOS platform, delivering AI-focused enhancements aimed at accelerating agentic application development. With new features in the Apollo MCP Server, REST Connectors, and developer-friendly subscription plans, Apollo positions GraphQL as a foundational technology for building and orchestrating modern AI applications.
At the heart of these upgrades is a vision for agentic AI—systems that can autonomously retrieve data, invoke actions, and modify environments via APIs. Apollo’s declarative, schema-first approach to API orchestration with GraphQL makes it an ideal backbone for such systems.
GraphQL: The New Standard for AI-Driven Orchestration
“AI agents need the ability to retrieve data, modify systems, and take actions in the real world,” said Matt DeBergalis, CTO and co-founder of Apollo GraphQL. “GraphQL’s declarative, schema-driven approach gives developers a scalable foundation that lets them focus on innovation instead of orchestration logic.”
While GraphQL already plays a central role in modern frontend/backend communication, its value is growing in AI, especially as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) gains traction as a framework for connecting AI models to structured and unstructured data via APIs.
Apollo MCP Server Gets Production-Ready
First launched earlier this year, Apollo MCP Server allows developers to safely expose their graph APIs to AI models. The latest updates make this easier and more robust:
- Streamable HTTP for efficient, scalable communication with agents
- Built-in Collections for composing tools and workflows
- Container deployment support with telemetry and advanced authentication
These improvements mean faster agent development cycles and a smoother path to production for AI applications.
Improved REST API Integration with Apollo Connectors
Developers still reliant on REST APIs can now take full advantage of GraphQL’s orchestration capabilities. Apollo Connectors now support batch endpoints, enabling:
- Fewer network calls through consolidated data requests
- Higher performance for data-heavy workloads
- Easy integration with existing REST APIs
This update helps bridge legacy systems with next-gen applications—without sacrificing performance or requiring wholesale architecture changes.
Flexible Subscription Plans for Teams of All Sizes
To lower the barrier to entry for organizations exploring GraphQL, Apollo introduced new Developer and Standard subscription plans featuring:
- Full access to the GraphOS platform including Connectors, MCP Server, schema registry, and analytics
- Usage-based pricing, allowing teams to scale without large up-front investments
- Optional identity and role management features for secure, collaborative development
“We want to enable developers to experiment, learn, and realize the value of graph-based API orchestration at their own pace,” said Rob Brazier, VP of Product at Apollo GraphQL.
GraphOS Powers Over a Trillion Operations Monthly
GraphOS has already established itself as the API orchestration layer behind many Fortune 500 companies. Now, that same infrastructure is available to organizations building the next generation of AI-driven, agentic applications.
To support its growth strategy, Apollo recently appointed Stuart Wilson as Chief Revenue Officer, signaling a renewed focus on go-to-market alignment as AI adoption surges across industries.
