 While this tutorial only covers the server portion of the MERN stack, the `/client` folder in the [completed example](#complete-example) picks up where the tutorial left off and implements [`@apollo/client`](/react/) to interact with the server. For more information on implementing the Apollo Client, head to the [getting started docs](/react/get-started).
