Deploy and Host Apollo MCP Server on Railway

The Apollo MCP Server provides a standard way for AI models and agents to access, orchestrate, and interact with your GraphQL APIs with little configuration and setup. It acts as a bridge between AI and your GraphQL endpoints, enabling controlled access, observability, and automation through the Model Context Protocol.

About Hosting Apollo MCP Server

Hosting the Apollo MCP Server is a standalone deployment: you run the MCP process by itself and expose MCP tools that wrap your existing APIs (GraphQL or HTTP). Configure your tool definitions, target API URLs, via GraphOS. On Railway, you can deploy the MCP container directly, set env vars in the dashboard, and let the platform handle logging, scaling, and restarts. Clients (e.g., AI agents) then connect to your MCP Server to securely discover and invoke the tools you’ve exposed.

Common Use Cases

Stand up a production-ready MCP Server connected to your federated graph
Integrate AI models or assistants with your existing GraphQL APIs via MCP
Prototype API-driven AI agents using your GraphOS-managed graph

Dependencies for Apollo MCP Server Hosting

An Apollo GraphOS account with a registered graph and stored collections to expose through MCP
A valid GraphQL endpoint or Apollo Router instance
