Setup
Install Postman API in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-api-mcp
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
- Manage collections— Ask your assistant to create, tag, or update Postman collections and their documentation directly from your editor.
- Generate client code— Request production-ready client code from your API definitions, following best practices and project conventions.
- Create specs from code— Have your assistant generate API specifications from your codebase and turn them into Postman collections.
- Manage environments— Instruct your assistant to create workspaces and environments, and manage environment variables without leaving your IDE.
- Run API tests— Use the local server to continuously test your APIs against your Postman collections, including local endpoints.
ThePostman MCP Serverimplements theModel Context Protocol (MCP)to connect AI agents and coding assistants — including Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI — directly to your Postman workspaces, collections, specifications, and environments.
Postman also offers the server as annpm package.
For the full installation guide with agent-specific setup, see Postman'sMCP Server product page.
- Browse the complete list of available tools across all configurations.
- Connect to and test the remote server —FullandMinimal.
- Connect to and test thelocal server.
- Minimal— (Default) Only includes essential tools for basic Postman operations. Ideal for users who want to modify a single Postman element, such as collections, workspaces, or environments.
- Code— Includes tools to generate high-quality, well-organized client code from public and internal API definitions. Ideal for users who need to consume APIs or get API context to their agents.
- Full— Includes all available Postman API tools (100+ tools). Ideal for users who engage in advanced collaboration and Postman's Enterprise features.
- Learn— SearchesPostman Docsfor guides, tutorials, and reference content. Ideal for agents who need to discover Postman features, look up API concepts, or find learning resources.
For the best developer experience and fastest setup, useOAuthon the remote server (https://mcp.postman.com). OAuth is fully compliant with theMCP Authorization specificationand requires no manual API key configuration.
The EU remote server and the local server support onlyPostman API keyauthentication.
Add this URL to your MCP host's configuration:
Change/minimalto/codeor/mcpfor Code or Full mode. For EU or API key auth, passAuthorization: Bearer <POSTMAN_API_KEY>as a header.
Add--codeor--fullfor Code or Full mode. SetPOSTMAN_API_KEYas an environment variable.
For IDE-specific setup instructions, see the following table. For more information, see thePostman MCP Server docs.
The Postman MCP Server supports the EU region for remote and local servers:
- For streamable HTTP, the remote server is available athttps://mcp.eu.postman.com/mcp(Full),https://mcp.eu.postman.com/code, andhttps://mcp.eu.postman.com/minimal.
- For the STDIO public package, use the--region euflag, or set thePOSTMAN_API_BASE_URLenvironment variable directly.
- OAuth isn't supported for the EU server. The EU remote server only supports API key authentication.
- API Testing— Continuously test your API using your Postman collection. Use the local server to test local APIs, as the remote server won't have network access to your workstation.
- Code synchronization— Keep your code in sync with yourPostman Collectionsand specs.
- Collection management— Create and tag collections, update documentation, add comments, or perform actions across multiple collections without leaving your editor.
- Workspace and environment management— Create workspaces and environments, plus manage environment variables.
- Automatic spec creation— Create specs from your code and use them to generate collections.
- Client code generation— Generate production-ready client code that consumes APIs following best practices and project conventions.

The MCP tool definitions and the server implementation here are synced from Postman's internal source of truth, so changes to files undersrc/can't be merged in this repository — but issues are how those changes get made, and we credit contributions that ship. Documentation and repository tooling accept pull requests directly.

Postman runs an official remote MCP server — connect over a hosted URL instead of installing this one locally.
This is a web browser that enables your coding agent, such as Claude Code, to visit websites on your behalf and assist you in identifying bugs or creating UI test cases.
