Samuel Vazquez:

I would like to do a lightning talk of a MCP server that I just wrapped up, it is an auditor for subgraphs that are part of a federated graphql schema, under the hood it gathers data from Datadog using the Datadog API

@samuelAndalon I would love to talk more MCP also, we should meetup at the conference!

I'm going to host a pop-up free MCP event after GraphQL Conf this Thursday in Amsterdam if anyone would like to join or give a talk on something! https://luma.com/wh8ts1tm

I would like to give a lightning talk about using GraphQL with the Neo4j graph database. Using graphs all the way from API to database 🎉.

Giuseppe Abrignani:

GraphQL to serve front end is cool, but what about using it to describe your company enterprise data model? Enabling engineers and developer to contribute to it while developing consumable APIs

[ldebruijn]

Lars de Bruijn: Happy to give a demo/inspirational talk about quantifying graphql schema health in an automated, data driven fashion, beyond your typical linter solutions. Showcasing concrete examples that can be taken and applied

[jorydotcom]

Thank you for sharing @ldebruijn - link is ldebruijn/schema-scoring correct?

[ldebruijn]

Correct!

[ldebruijn]

Lars de Bruijn: Or give a talk/demo about applied Trusted Documents (vendor agnostic). We all talk about it and we all agree its a must, bur showcase how to apply it correctly has (afaik) not yet been done
