Export an MCP server configuration for an MCP host

You can export an MCP server's configuration and use it to set up an MCP host, such as Claude Desktop. Once you set up your app, its AI models or agents can use the MCP server for added context.

Export the MCP server configuration

To export the MCP server configuration, do the following:

  1. Choose an existing MCP request or create a new one.
  2. From the right sidebar, click Code icon Generate Config.
  3. Choose your MCP host. Postman tells you where to add the configuration.
  4. Click Copy snippet.
  5. Open your configuration file and add the configuration.

Your MCP host is ready to connect to the MCP server. You may need to restart your host. To learn more, see your MCP host's documentation.
