2+
3+ This repo includes an MCP configuration for the ** Postman MCP Server** using ** stdio** transport.
4+
5+ ## 1) Configure Postman API key
6+
7+ The MCP server requires ` POSTMAN_API_KEY ` .
8+
9+ Your MCP host (VS Code / other MCP host) should prompt for the input defined in ` .vscode/mcp.json ` .
10+
11+ If your MCP host supports env vars directly, you can also set:
12+
13+ ``` bash
14+ export POSTMAN_API_KEY=" <YOUR_POSTMAN_API_KEY>"
15+ ```
16+
17+ ## 2) Start the MCP server
18+
19+ The server is started by your MCP host using the configuration in:
20+
21+ - ` .vscode/mcp.json `
22+
23+ It uses:
24+ - ` npx -y @postman/postman-mcp-server --minimal --region us `
25+
26+ ## 3) Demonstrate a tool capability
27+
28+ Once the MCP host is connected and the server is running, call (tool name in Postman MCP v2.x):
29+
30+ - ` getWorkspaces `
31+
32+ Expected: JSON listing workspaces you have access to.
33+
34+ ## Notes
35+
36+ - This configuration uses ** minimal** tool set to keep startup time low.
37+ - To enable more tools, update the MCP server args from ` --minimal ` to ` --full ` .
You can’t perform that action at this time.
