Add an MCP server to your MCP host

You can add an MCP server to Postman Agent Mode to give it further context and extend its capabilities.

You can also export an MCP server configuration to set up an MCP host, such as Claude Desktop, VS Code, or Cursor. Once you set up your app, its AI models or agents can use the MCP server for the same added context and capabilities.

To add the MCP server to Postman Agent Mode, do the following:

1. Choose an existing MCP request or create a new one.
2. In the right sidebar, click Generate Config.
3. Choose Postman Agent Mode.
4. Click Add to Agent Mode.

Postman adds the MCP server to Postman Agent Mode. To see the configuration, click Agent Mode configuration.
