Developer platforms - official Postman server

Postman MCP server

Connects AI agents to Postman workspaces, collections, specifications, environments, mocks and monitors through the Postman API. Offered as a hosted remote server with Minimal, Code, Full, Learn and Context Graph tool configurations, or as a local STDIO server via npm or Docker. Postman hosts it at https://mcp.postman.com/minimal, or you can run @postman/postman-mcp-server (npm) locally with OAuth or API key auth.

Notes and caveats

  • Remote endpoints by configuration: /minimal (default), /code, /mcp (Full, 100+ tools), /learn, /context-graph.
  • EU region at https://mcp.eu.postman.com/* supports API key auth only (no OAuth); local server also requires a POSTMAN_API_KEY (use --region eu for EU).
  • Context Graph requires Context Graph enabled for the team.
  • Remote server collects anonymous telemetry by default; local server is opt-in.
  • Docs list the full tool catalog only in a Postman collection; tool names above come from the official repo source (Minimal configuration).
  • Docs carry no beta or preview label.
  • Latest release v2.14.0 (npm, 2026-10-16).
  • Postman recommends its CLI and agent skills over MCP for coding agents working in a repository.
