For each request, Postman creates a [tool](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/tools). The server supports the MCP [standard input and output](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports#standard-input%2Foutput-stdio) (STDIO) and [streamable HTTP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports#streamable-http) transport layers. ## Generate and download an MCP server To generate an MCP server, do the following: 1. From the Home icon Home menu, click **Public API Network**. Then, from the left sidebar, click Postbot icon **MCP Generator**. 2. Search for a public API from the Postman API Network. Postman displays public workspaces and collections that match your search criteria. 3. Choose one of the public workspaces. 4. Click through the workspace's collections and folders and select the requests you want to add to your MCP server. 5. Click **Add Requests**. 6. (Optional) Search again and add requests from other public workspaces. 7. Click **Generate**. Postman generates an MCP server and zips it for you. 8. Click **Download ZIP** and follow the onscreen instructions. You're ready to [set up and start your generated MCP server locally](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/publish/mcp-servers/set-up-start/).
