What is the MCP Graphql Schema MCP Server?

Model Context Protocol server for GraphQL schemas

What it actually does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes GraphQL schema information to Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude. This server allows an LLM to explore and understand GraphQL schemas through a set of specialized tools.

Load any GraphQL schema file specified via command line argument
Explore query, mutation, and subscription fields
Look up detailed type definitions
Search for types and fields using pattern matching
Get simplified field information including types and arguments
Filter out internal GraphQL types for cleaner results
