You know how to build client apps—but where do client developers fit in the new world of ChatGPT and MCP? If you've used GraphQL before, it turns out your knowledge translates directly. This talk demonstrates how to build MCP apps using Apollo's AI apps client and MCP server with patterns you already use: 1. Fragment colocation → Tool design: Structure MCP tools like component data requirements 2. Query optimization → Tool call patterns: Minimize LLM roundtrips with the same performance thinking 3. Type safety → Tool schemas: Apply GraphQL's type discipline to MCP definitions A live demo builds an MCP app querying a GraphQL API, showing how best practices from GraphQL client development apply to OpenAI and MCP apps.
Join two transformative days of expert insights and innovation to shape the next decade of APIs!
