API Package Manager for AI Agents? | Lenny Burdette, Apollo GraphQL

What if APIs had a package manager just like npm or cargo? In this talk, Lenny from Apollo explores how AI, GraphQL, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are reshaping API management. You’ll learn: What Apollo Federation is and why it matters for distributed systems. How MCP helps AI agents consume APIs. Why API dependencies should be managed like software packages. And see a live demo of APM (API Package Manager) built on Apollo MCP Server. This session covers the future of APIs in an AI-driven world, showing how developers can make APIs easier for both humans and AI agents to use.
