88.0Overall score

A Cursor setup that treats the GraphQL schema as the source of truth and keeps resolvers, types and client hooks in sync through codegen. For teams who want one schema to drive the backend and the frontend without hand-written type drift.

Export

npm i graphql-codegen @graphql-codegen/cli && npx graphql-codegen init

Components

Model

  • Claude Sonnet 4.6
  • Opus 4.8 in Max mode for tricky resolvers

MCP servers

  • postgres
  • github
  • context7

Stack

  • Apollo Server or GraphQL Yoga
  • graphql-codegen
  • Pothos

Rules

  • Schema-first, never edit generated types by hand
  • Every resolver has a dataloader to avoid N+1 queries
  • Run codegen before any resolver edit

How it works

  • Define the SDL schema, codegen produces typed resolver signatures
  • Context7 MCP pulls current Apollo and Pothos docs into context
  • Postgres MCP verifies resolvers return the shape the schema promises
  • Pre-commit hook reruns codegen so types never go stale

Summary

A Cursor setup that treats the GraphQL schema as the source of truth and keeps resolvers, types and client hooks in sync through codegen. For teams who want one schema to drive the backend and the frontend without hand-written type drift.
