Description

Official Postman remote MCP server that connects AI assistants directly to the Postman platform. Explore API collections, test endpoints, manage environments, and browse API documentation — all through natural language conversation. As a remote MCP server, it requires no local installation: just configure your Postman API key and connect. AI agents can list your collections, inspect individual requests, send test requests, switch between environments, and help you understand complex API structures. Ideal for developers who maintain API collections in Postman and want AI assistance in exploring, testing, and documenting their APIs.
