Overview
Postman MCP Server is a TypeScript-based server that integrates with Postman to manage collections, environments, and APIs seamlessly via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). # How to Use To use Postman MCP Server, clone the repository from GitHub, install the dependencies, and build the server. Configure it with Claude Desktop for integration. # Key Features - CRUD Operations: Manage collections, environments, and APIs, including the ability to create, read, update, and delete. - Folder and Request Management: Organize requests into folders and manage their responses. - Authentication and Authorization: Secure access with API keys and role-based access control. - Private API Network and Webhooks: Manage elements within a private network and trigger collections with custom payloads. # Use Cases
- Complex API Management: Suitable for managing multiple Postman collections and environments.
- Automated Workflows: Ideal for testing and documentation automation within API development.
- Critical Operations: Ensures safety in error-sensitive tasks such as production deployment checks. # FAQ - Is this project stable? > The Postman MCP Server is currently under active development and may experience breaking changes. - What technology does it use? > It is built with TypeScript and integrates with Postman's API based on the OpenAPI specification. - How can I contribute to the project? > Contributions can be made via GitHub by opening issues or submitting pull requests in the repository.7:["$","div",null,{"className":"container mx-auto flex flex-col gap-4","children":["$L26","$L27",["$","$L28",null,{"currentProject":{"id":439,"uuid":"4885fa77-9d12-4aa3-94cf-297888b2a8ad","name":"postman-mcp-server","title":"Postman MCP Server","description":"An MCP server that provides access to Postman.","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1206?v=4","created_at":"2024-12-19T02:11:18.761Z","updated_at":"2024-12-19T12:38:58.954Z","status":"created","author_name":"delano","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1206?v=4","tags":"mcp,claude,anthropic","category":"developer-tools","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/delano/postman-mcp-server","target":"_self","content":"$29","summary":"$2a","img_url":"https://camo.githubusercontent.com/53a4699e0d3aede161589fdd9b88dd51ad695452068abc79a281b947227edd66/68747470733a2f2f736d6974686572792e61692f62616467652f706f73746d616e2d6170692d736572766572","type":null,"metadata":"{"star":"98","license":"MIT license","language":"TypeScript","is_official":false,"latest_commit_time":"2025-01-28 10:33:04"}","user_uuid":null,"tools":null,"sse_url":null,"sse_provider":null,"sse_params":null,"is_official":false,"server_command":null,"server_params":null,"server_config":null,"allow_call":false,"is_innovation":false,"is_dxt":false,"dxt_manifest":null,"dxt_file_url":null,"is_audit":false},"randomProjects":[],"currentServerKey":"$undefined"}]]}]

Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"postman-mcp-server-delano": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-postman-mcp-server-delano"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
