Features

MCP Server: Implements the MCP Server class from @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.

Stdio Transport: Communicates with clients via standard input/output.

GraphQL Client: Uses axios to send requests to the configured GraphQL endpoint.

Generic GraphQL Tools: Exposes the following tools to MCP clients:

introspectGraphQLSchema: Fetches the target GraphQL API schema using introspection.
executeGraphQLOperation: Executes arbitrary GraphQL queries or mutations against the target API, taking query, optional variables, and optional operationName as input.

Client Configuration

To allow clients like Cursor or Claude Desktop to use the tools provided by this server, you need to configure them to run the npx command.

Cursor

Go to Cursor MCP Settings (Cursor > Settings > Cursor Settings > MCP)

Go to + Add new global MCP server

Add the following to your Cursor MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp4gql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "type": "stdio",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp4gql"],
      "env": {
        "GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT": "YOUR_GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT_URL",
        "AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR_OPTIONAL_AUTH_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop settings (Claude > Settings).

Go to Developer > Edit Config.

Add to the config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp4gql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp4gql"],
      "env": {
        "GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT": "YOUR_GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT_URL",
        "AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR_OPTIONAL_AUTH_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once configured, the MCP client should be able to list and call the introspectGraphQLSchema and executeGraphQLOperation tools provided by this server when relevant. Remember to set the required environment variables (GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT and optionally AUTH_TOKEN) in the configuration so the server can connect to your API.
