Two configurations are supported:
  • Minimal — Default setup with essential tools for basic workspace, collection, and environment management.
  • Full — Includes 100+ Postman API tools for enterprise-level collaboration, automation, and analytics.
Postman MCP is available as a remote server or via npm for local setup.

​
When you should use this server

  • Automate collection and workspace management through AI agents.
  • Sync code and collections seamlessly between your IDE and Postman.
  • Generate API specs from code or auto-document APIs using conversational commands.
  • Query, update, and comment on requests, collections, and environments from AI editors like Claude, Cursor, or Codex.
  • Manage variables, environments, and monitor API performance across projects.
Ideal for developers integrating Postman context into their AI workflows.

​
Requirements

  • API Key: A valid Postman API key is required.
  • EU Region Support:
    • Streamable HTTP: https://mcp.eu.postman.com
    • STDIO package: use --region flag (us or eu) or set the POSTMAN_API_BASE_URL environment variable.
  • Package option: Available as an npm module for local deployments.

​
Minimal Configuration

Essential tools for basic Postman operations (faster and lighter).
  • Manage and modify collections, workspaces, and environments.
  • Fetch and update API documentation or environment variables.

​
Full Configuration

Includes all 100+ Postman API endpoints, supporting:
  • Advanced collaboration — comments, sharing, and team workspaces.
  • API lifecycle management — from specification to testing and monitoring.
  • Bulk automation — create, tag, or update multiple requests and collections.
  • Reporting and analysis — generate API metrics, usage reports, and test summaries.

​
Notes

  • The Postman MCP server integrates directly with MCP-compatible editors like Claude, Cursor, and Goose.
  • Full configuration offers deep access for enterprise users leveraging Postman’s collaboration and governance features.
  • Ideal for teams wanting conversational control over API management, documentation, and testing.
  • Performance varies slightly between minimal and full configurations — minimal is best for fast, lightweight use; full for multi-project automation.
