Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
GraphqlCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Configure the server in Claude Desktop using the NPX command with optional arguments for endpoint, headers, timeout, and max complexity. Once running, invoke the graphql_query tool to run queries or graphql_introspect to explore schema.
graphql_query
Execute GraphQL queries using either a specified endpoint or the default endpoint configured during installation
graphql_introspect
Introspect a GraphQL schema from an endpoint with configurable headers
