Q: Is Postman a remote or a local server?

Remote. Postman hosts it at https://mcp.postman.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

listing.about

Connects AI agents and coding assistants to the Postman platform. You can work with workspaces, collections, API specifications and environments, generate client code from API definitions, and search Postman documentation. Tool sets come in Minimal, Code, Full (100+ tools) and Learn configurations.

The hosted endpoint is https://mcp.postman.com/mcp (Full), with /minimal and /code variants. It supports OAuth sign-in. The EU host mcp.eu.postman.com accepts only a Postman API key sent as a Bearer token. A local package runs with npx @postman/postman-mcp-server and needs POSTMAN_API_KEY.

Claude Code

Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

claude mcp add --transport http postman https://mcp.postman.com/mcp

Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick postman and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Postman sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
Name it Postman and paste this URL:

https://mcp.postman.com/mcp

Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Postman asks.

Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

Add to claude.ai a11y.new_tab

Check that the URL reads https://mcp.postman.com/mcp and click Add.
Click Connect and sign in when Postman asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
Paste https://mcp.postman.com/mcp as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Postman to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postman": {
      "url": "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.

VS Code

Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"postman","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "postman": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

Devin Desktop

Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postman": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add postman --url https://mcp.postman.com/mcp
codex mcp login postman

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml

[mcp_servers.postman]
url = "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http postman https://mcp.postman.com/mcp

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth postman to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postman": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.postman.com/mcp.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/postman into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://mcp.postman.com/mcp, so your client talks to Postman directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Postman need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes, you need a Postman account. The first time your client connects, it opens Postman's sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server's own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is Postman a remote or a local server?

Remote. Postman hosts it at https://mcp.postman.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can Postman do?

You can create and update Postman collections, including tags, docs and comments, create workspaces and manage environments and variables and create API specs from code and generate collections from them.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Postman's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
