With the recent release of OpenAI App SDK, our team at Apollo built a stack that lets you use familiar tools (React, Apollo Client, GraphQL, to build conversational apps without thinking about the MCP plumbing.

The architecture here is simple, a React app and Apollo MCP Server (MIT). Today we’re talking about OpenAI App SDK, but MCP Apps will be in the official spec and we’ll see multiple Agent/LLM providers create similar experiences. Our goal is to abstract away all of the provider details form you with a great developer experience, allowing you to focus on building your app instead.

Feel free to try out the repo (https://github.com/apollographql/ai-apps-template) and let us know what you think (you will need a paid OpenAI plan to connect it to ChatGPT).
