Connect assistants to Postman workspaces, collections, specifications and environments. Compare hosted OAuth, local API-key access and tool configurations.
Postman’s MCP server connects coding assistants to Postman API workflows. The same project offers a hosted service and the @postman/postman-mcp-server npm package. Its Minimal, Code, Full and Learn configurations expose different tool sets, so the selected mode should match the task.
Identify the workspace, collection and environment before inspecting requests or preparing an API test. Keep the request parameters and response context with the result. Use the local server for endpoints on your workstation; the hosted service does not automatically have network access to local APIs.
Postman documents OAuth for the standard remote service, including https://mcp.postman.com/minimal; /mcp selects Full mode. The local package and EU remote service use a Postman API key. Configure the correct region and mode rather than treating each connection variant as a different underlying project.
