Give API context to your coding agents with the Postman MCP server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables applications to share context with large language models (LLMs), making it easier to build smart agents and automated workflows.

You can use Postman's MCP server with all coding agents that support MCP.

Secure communication happens over HTTPS without extra setup required on the agent side. This is ideal for IDE integrations and cloud-hosted agents. There is also a local option via stdio.

Postman supports the following tool configurations:

• Minimal — (Default) Only includes essential tools for core Postman operations. This offers minimal token consumption and simplifies use for those who only need core Postman operations. Ideal for users who want to run collections or modify a single Postman element, such as collections, workspaces, or environments.
• Code — Includes tools to generate idiomatic, well-organized client code from public and internal API definitions. This configuration is ideal for users who need to consume APIs or simply get context about APIs to their agents.
• Full — Includes all available Postman API tools (100+ tools). Best for users who want to automate more advanced workflows.

Try these example prompts to get started:

• "build a demo of accepting a payment using the stripe api. use postman"
• "what statuses can the google maps geolocation api return? use postman"
• "write a script that lists all our notion pages. use postman"
• "create a client for our internal acme sync api. use postman"

The "use postman" phrase is optional but ensures your coding agent uses the Postman MCP Server tools. To make this automatic, add a rule to your coding agent:Always use the provided Postman MCP tools when I need to explore APIs, answer questions about APIs, or generate client code to consume APIs.

MCP tool calling counts towards your plan's monthly limits for calls to the Postman API.

You can use Postman Agent Mode (currently in beta) to generate MCP servers for your internal APIs. Watch this demo to learn how.

You can use Postman's MCP Generator to choose public API requests from the Postman API Network and generate MCP servers for them. For each request, Postman creates a tool. Learn more.

You can use Postman to create MCP requests to experiment, test, and evaluate different MCP servers. Learn more.
