Postman Passport CLI Community Edition overview

With the Postman Passport CLI Community Edition, you can inspect HTTP and HTTPS traffic from AI agents and developer tools running on your local machine. It captures every API call they make, identifies which credentials are being used, and surfaces findings through a dashboard in your browser or terminal. All processing happens on your machine and nothing leaves it.

To get started, see Install the Passport CLI Community Edition.

Each command supports the --help option for inline usage information.

Options

The following options are available on the passport command:

-v, --version

Output the version number.

--silent

Silence all terminal output.

--color <value>

Defaults to auto

Enable or disable colored output. Accepts auto, on, or off.

--theme <name>

Defaults to passport

Set the color theme. Accepts passport, matrix, nord, or mocha.

--no-animation

Turn off all motion effects.

--ascii

Force ASCII-only rendering (no Unicode or braille characters).

-h, --help

Display help for the command.

The --theme, --no-animation, and --ascii options apply to the terminal dashboard.

`passport lens`

The lens command sits in the request path, capturing API calls from AI agents and developer tools without requiring changes to those clients, and surfaces findings with secret values masked. This helps you catch cases where credentials intended for one service accidentally end up in requests to another.

For more information, see View and analyze results and Lens commands.
