Postman Runner MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Executes Postman collections using Newman, enabling LLMs to run API tests and retrieve detailed results.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables running Postman collections using Newman. This server allows LLMs to execute API tests and get detailed results through a standardized interface.
Once Postman Runner is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Configuration — Add the server to your Claude desktop configuration file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:Building — The Building tool exposed by this serverInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Postman Runner's toolset — Configuration, Building — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Gechmind; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
