## Step 4: Working with MCP Tools
268-
Now that your MCP server is connected, learn how to customize and create tools.
269-
270-
### Understanding Tools
271-
272-
MCP tools are GraphQL operations that Claude can execute. Each operation in your `operations/` directory becomes a tool with:
273-
274-
- **Tool name**: Derived from the operation name
275-
- **Description**: From GraphQL comments or operation descriptions
276-
- **Parameters**: Mapped from GraphQL variables
277-
- **Response**: The GraphQL response data
278-
279-
### Defining Custom Tools
280-
281-
Create new tools by adding GraphQL operation files to your `operations/` directory:
282-
283-
```graphql
284-
# operations/GetProducts.graphql
285-
286-
# Retrieves product information by ID
287-
query GetProducts($productId: ID!) {
288-
product(id: $productId) {
289-
id
290-
name
291-
price
292-
description
293-
}
294-
}
295-
```
296-
297-
Apollo MCP Server automatically detects new `.graphql` files and exposes them as tools. No server restart needed!

### Testing Operations in GraphOS Studio
302-
303-
The `rover dev` command command includes Sandbox:
304-
305-
1. Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser
306-
2. Test your operations directly:
307-
- Browse your schema
308-
- Run queries and mutations
309-
- Experiment with variables
310-
- View responses
311-
312-
This is invaluable for:
313-
- Verifying operations before exposing them as MCP tools
314-
- Understanding your schema structure
315-
- Debugging query issues
316-
- Exploring available data
