Postman MCP Server

The Postman MCP Server implements the Model 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.

People connecting API integration tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
