  • The latest Apollo Rover CLI changes make your graph's schema queryable by AI agents straight from the command line, and close a few gaps in the CI/CD story along the way. Swipe through to learn more about:   → Schema search and describe, built for agents   → Atomic check-and-publish in a single command   → An official Docker image, immutable per release   → Native client operation checks Full link in comments. #graphql #devtooling

  • Your API platform can become your AI platform. Apollo Summit 2026 connects you with the teams already doing it in production. 📅 October 6-8, 2026 | 📍The Midway, San Francisco. Three days with the people building API infrastructure for apps and agents. You'll leave able to: 🔒 Enforce field-level access and zero-rights defaults so an agent only reaches what you approve, without slowing down the people building ⚡ Run Federation, Router, and schema governance the way teams operating some of the largest graphs in production do 🔌 Turn your existing REST, SQL, and MCP sources into a context graph your agents can query, so you get new value from systems you already own The through line: speed and control are not a tradeoff. 👉 Grab your $299 early bird pass now: https://lnkd.in/dmatsFGG

    As AI agents gain access to enterprise systems, yesterday's API assumptions no longer hold. At the MCP Dev Summit, Alex Salkever sits down with Apollo GraphQL CTO and co-founder Matt DeBergalis who shared why agents should be treated as untrusted by default. The discussion covered fine grained access controls, limiting sensitive data exposure, and why optimizing agents for speed over correctness can create unexpected risks. Listen to the conversation: https://bit.ly/4fo4BI6

  • 🔐 GraphQL API Security in the Agentic AI Era | 📅 August 11 | 📍 Virtual 👉 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eU3ZHmUD AI agents are becoming active consumers of enterprise data. Learn how to secure and govern your GraphQL APIs with Apollo Router and GraphOS. Join Faisal Waseem Staff Solutions Architect at Apollo to explore Apollo Router security features, GraphOS security architecture, authentication and authorization patterns, demand control, and what it takes to govern GraphQL APIs in an agent-driven world.

  • You got OAuth working on your MCP server. Now make sure it's ready for production. 📅 July 22: Join Camille Lawrence, Sr. Software Engineer at Apollo GraphQL, for 📲 MCP Server Auth: Scopes, Step-Up Flows, and Token Exchange Save your spot 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXcJuKz8 Most MCP auth tutorials stop at the happy path. In this live session, we'll cover the security patterns that matter when you have real users, multiple tools, and different permission levels. 💡 You'll learn how to: • Protect against confused-deputy attacks • Configure per-tool scopes • Implement step-up authorization flows • Build the token exchange pattern using Apollo Router extensibility

    Enterprise APIs were built for trusted consumers - engineers who review each other's code, respect rate limits, and apply human judgment. Agents break that assumption. Recorded at MCP Dev Summit in New York, this episode of Agentic Conversations features Matt DeBergalis, CEO of Apollo GraphQL, who argues agents should be treated as untrusted, maybe even adversarial. A typical enterprise API commingles data with very different sensitivity levels - an HR endpoint might return time zones alongside 401k details. Coarse-grained access worked when a human controlled the other side. It fails when citizen developers wire agents into every system behind the firewall. He points to GraphQL as a starting template - field-level permissions, explicit queries, a policy layer that can approve or block, and richer access patterns like aggregation and filtering pushed down the stack instead of endless pagination.

  • Industry analyst Torsten Volk ranked the five skills software developers need most in 2026 by analyzing 200 LinkedIn job posts, and GraphQL came in at #3. His framing is worth reading closely: whoever owns the GraphQL schema owns the seam where UI, services, and AI meet. The architecture at that layer is foundational to everything built on top of it. If your team is building this layer, check out Apollo Skills.

  • Schema changes don't happen in a single click. They get drafted, debated, reviewed, and shipped; for teams on Apollo GraphOS, that coordination lives in schema proposals. We've spent the last several months listening to customers about how that work actually gets done, and shipped a round of updates to the workflows and automations teams build around them.
