# Postman MCP server

> Manage Postman workspaces, collections, specs, environments and mocks from your AI assistant or IDE.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/postman
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.postman.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Developer Tools](https://mcp.tc/c/developer-tools)
- Vendor: Postman
- Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe.

## 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.

## What it can do

- Create and update Postman collections, including tags, docs and comments
- Create workspaces and manage environments and variables
- Create API specs from code and generate collections from them
- Generate client code from public and internal API definitions
- Search Postman docs for guides and reference content
- Choose Minimal, Code, Full or Learn tool configurations

## Example prompts

- "List the collections in my Postman workspace"
- "Create a new Postman environment with a base\_url variable"
- "Generate a TypeScript client from my Orders API collection"
- "Create an OpenAPI spec in Postman from this codebase"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

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

2. 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

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Postman** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.postman.com/mcp
```

3. 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

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

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Postman&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.postman.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.postman.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. 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

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. 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](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=postman&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5wb3N0bWFuLmNvbS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

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

`mcp.json`:

```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](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=postman&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.postman.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
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`:

```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

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

`mcp_config.json`:

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

2. 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

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

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

`config.toml`:

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

### Gemini CLI

```bash
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.

```json
{
  "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`.
