On April 23, 2025, we are excited to announce the launch of mcp-graphql-forge, a lightweight, configuration-driven Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. mcp-graphql-forge empowers developers to expose curated GraphQL queries as modular MCP tools without writing a single line of custom tool code, creating a secure and efficient bridge between LLM agents and GraphQL APIs.

Key Capabilities

  • Configuration-Driven Tooling: Define your MCP tools entirely in YAML. No more hard-coding tool logic; simply describe the tool’s name, description, and the GraphQL query it should execute.
  • Dynamic Tool Discovery: The server automatically scans your configuration directory at startup, allowing you to add or remove tools simply by managing YAML files.
  • Flexible Authentication: Support for dynamic token retrieval via a configurable shell command, making it easy to integrate with systems like the GitHub CLI for secure, runtime authentication.
  • Direct Data Access: Tools return raw JSON responses from the GraphQL API, ensuring that the LLM agent receives the full richness of the data.

Why it Matters

Integrating LLMs with complex data sources often requires extensive boilerplate code for every new API endpoint. mcp-graphql-forge removes this friction by shifting the complexity from code to configuration. This modular approach allows teams to iterate rapidly on the capabilities they expose to their AI agents, ensuring that the LLM has precise, read-only access to exactly the data it needs.

Getting Started

To get started with mcp-graphql-forge, you can download the pre-built binaries for Darwin, Linux, or Windows from the v0.1.0 release assets, or build it from source using Go. Once installed, simply create a configuration directory with a forge.yaml for global settings and individual YAML files for your tools, then point the FORGE_CONFIG environment variable to that directory.
