Before you install Postman MCP Server
AgenticMart scanned Postman MCP Server on Nov 5, 2026 with automated checks for hidden code, known-malicious packages, leaked secrets and vulnerable dependencies. The result covers one commit under our scan policy, so review what access you give it and check any advisories shown here.
What it can access
- An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.
Before you install
- Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by postmanlabs on GitHub, 325 stars and 85 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Oct 30, 2026.
- Open-source license: Apache-2.0.

createMockCreates a mock server in a collection. - Pass the collection UID (ownerId-collectionId), not the bare collection ID. - If you only have a \`collectionId\`, resolve the UID first: 1) Prefer GET \`/collections/{collectionId}\` and read \`uid\`, or 2) Construct \`{ownerId}-{collectionId}\` using o
createSpecCreates an API specification in Postman's [Spec Hub](https://learning.postman.com/docs/design-apis/specifications/overview/). Specifications can be single or multi-file. **Note:** - Postman supports OpenAPI (2.0, 3.0, and 3.1), AsyncAPI (2.0 and 3.0), protobuf (2 and 3), GraphQL, and Smithy specifi
createSpecFileCreates a file for an OpenAPI or a protobuf 2 or 3 specification. **Note:** - If the file path contains a \`/\` (forward slash) character, then a folder is created. For example, if the path is the \`components/schemas.json\` value, then a \`components\` folder is created with the \`schemas.json\`
createWorkspaceCreates a new [workspace](https://learning.postman.com/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/creating-workspaces/). **Note:** - This endpoint returns a 403 \`Forbidden\` response if the user does not have permission to create workspaces. [Admins and Super Admins](https://learning.postman.
duplicateCollectionCreates a duplicate of the given collection in another workspace. Use the GET \`/collection-duplicate-tasks/{taskId}\` endpoint to get the duplication task's current status.
generateCollectionCreates a collection from the given API specification. The specification must already exist or be created before it can be used to generate a collection. The response contains a polling link to the task status.
generateSpecFromCollectionGenerates an OpenAPI 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1 specification for the given collection. The response contains a polling link to the task status.
getAllSpecsGets all API specifications in a workspace.
getAuthenticatedUserGets information about the authenticated user. - This endpoint provides “current user” context (\`user.id\`, \`username\`, \`teamId\`, roles). - When a user asks for “my …” (e.g., “my workspaces, my information, etc.”), call this first to resolve the user ID.
getCollectionGet information about a collection. By default this tool returns the lightweight collection map (metadata + recursive itemRefs). Use the model parameter to opt in to Postman's full API responses: - model=minimal — root-level folder/request IDs only - model=full — full Postman collection payload.
getCollectionsThe workspace ID query is required for this endpoint. If not provided, the LLM should ask the user to provide it.
getDuplicateCollectionTaskStatusGets the status of a collection duplication task.
getEnabledToolsIMPORTANT: Run this tool first when a requested tool is unavailable. Returns information about which tools are enabled in the full and minimal tool sets, helping you identify available alternatives.
getEnvironmentGets information about an environment.
getEnvironmentsGets information about all of your [environments](https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/managing-environments/).
getGeneratedCollectionSpecsGets the API specification generated for the given collection.
getMockGets information about a mock server. - Resource: Mock server entity. Response includes the associated \`collection\` UID and \`mockUrl\`. - Use the \`collection\` UID to navigate back to the source collection.
getMocksGets all active mock servers. By default, returns only mock servers you created across all workspaces. - Always pass either the \`workspace\` or \`teamId\` query to scope results. Prefer \`workspace\` when known. - If you need team-scoped results, set \`teamId\` from the current user: call GET \`/m
getSpecGets information about an API specification.
getSpecCollectionsGets all of an API specification's generated collections.
getSpecDefinitionGets the complete contents of an OpenAPI or AsyncAPI specification's definition.
getSpecFileGets the contents of an API specification's file.

getWorkspaceGets information about a workspace. **Note:** This endpoint's response contains the \`visibility\` field. [Visibility](https://learning.postman.com/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/managing-workspaces/#changing-workspace-visibility) determines who can access the workspace: - \`person
getWorkspacesGets all workspaces you have access to. - For “my …” requests, first call GET \`/me\` and pass \`createdBy={me.user.id}\`. - This endpoint's response contains the visibility field. Visibility determines who can access the workspace: - \`personal\` — Only you can access the workspace. - \`team\`
publishMockPublishes a mock server. Publishing a mock server sets its **Access Control** configuration setting to public.
putCollectionReplaces the contents of a collection using the [Postman Collection v2.1.0 schema format](https://schema.postman.com/collection/json/v2.1.0/draft-07/docs/index.html).
