GraphQL API server with Apollo Server — schema, resolvers, context, error handling, data sources, plugins.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GraphQL API with Apollo Server > **Quick Guide:** Use `@apollo/server` (v5) for schema-first GraphQL APIs. Define schemas with SDL (`typeDefs`), implement field population with resolvers, share per-request state via the `context` function, and handle errors with `GraphQLError` + extension codes. Use `startStandaloneServer` for quick setups or integrate with your HTTP framework for production. DataLoader solves the N+1 problem. Plugins hook into the request lifecycle for logging, auth, and performance. --- <critical_requirements> ## CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill **(You MUST import from `@apollo/server` -- NOT the deprecated `apollo-server` or `apollo-server-express` packages)** **(You MUST create new data source and DataLoader instances per request in the context function -- sharing across requests causes data leaks)** **(You MUST throw `GraphQLError` (from `graphql`) with extension codes for client-facing errors -- generic `Error` exposes stack traces)** **(You MUST use `ApolloServerPluginDrainHttpServer` when integrating with an HTTP framework -- without it the server doesn't shut down gracefully)** </critical_requirements> --- …

How to install
mdr add agents-inc/skills/api-graphql-apollo-server@sha256:c4df338c0f414b60The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.afd0e14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
