Install the Postman MCP Server

Pick your client. Remote first: nothing to install, and you sign in with OAuth where the client supports it. Config shapes checked against each client's docs on 2026-10-25.

Needs POSTMAN_API_KEY (replace the ... with your value).

The URL also takes Authorization as a header (see its docs), for clients without OAuth sign-in.

Run in a terminal, then /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in. Add --scope project to share it via .mcp.json. docs

claude mcp add --transport http postman https://mcp.postman.com/mcp

Security notes

  • The remote server runs at mcp.postman.com, hosted by Postman. You sign in with OAuth in clients that support it, or with Authorization header where OAuth isn't available, and it acts with your account's permissions.
  • The local server runs with your user's permissions (npx downloads it from npm on first run).
  • Needs POSTMAN_API_KEY. Use a key or token with the narrowest scopes (read-only if there is one), and keep it out of config files you commit (.mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json).
  • It can change code and repositories. Review what it writes before you push.
