Generate an MCP server with public APIs from the Postman API Network
With Postman's MCP Generator, you choose public API requests from the Postman API Network, and Postman generates a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for you. For each request, Postman creates a tool. The server supports the MCP standard input and output (STDIO) and streamable HTTP transport layers.
To generate an MCP server, do the following:
- From the Postman header, click API Network. Then, from the left sidebar, click
MCP Generator.
- Search for a public API from the Postman API Network. Postman displays public workspaces and collections that match your search criteria.
- Choose one of the public workspaces.
- Click through the workspace's collections and folders and select the requests you want to add to your MCP server.
- Click Add Requests.
- (Optional) Search again and add requests from other public workspaces.
- Click Generate. Postman generates an MCP server and zips it for you.
- Click Download ZIP and follow the onscreen instructions.
You're ready to set up and start your generated MCP server locally.
