Postman Ushers in Support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), Supercharging AI Agent Development
Postman, a leading API collaboration platform, is announcing integrated support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—Anthropic’s open standard for seamless integration between APIs and LLMs—directly within Postman. With this integration, Postman enhances the power of its AI Agent Builder by enabling users to create and send MCP requests without the need for coding or manual configuration.
MCP—which establishes a consistent structure for exposing and invoking tools, prompts, and resources—is a powerful framework for standardizing agent interactions with other services. However, despite its utility, MCP can present challenges involved with debugging requests, validating configurations, and testing responses, according to Postman.
Postman’s MCP integration aims to unlock the power of MCP within its AI Agent Builder without any of MCP’s inherent obstacles, enabling users to connect to any MCP server and build to debug visually. Postman auto-loads tools, prompts, and resources from servers within a structured interface, streamlining and accelerating agent development.
All MCP requests can be saved, reused, shared, and documented, enhancing collaboration and testing with little friction, according to Postman.
“Postman handles the protocol-level details so you can focus on what matters: what your agent does and whether it works,” said Abhinav Asthana, co-founder and CEO of Postman. “Whether you’re calling a tool, composing a prompt, exploring a server’s available resources, or looking to build your server, it all works seamlessly inside Postman—no setup, no scripts, no guesswork. Just faster, more reliable agent development.”
In addition to its MCP integration, Postman is debuting its AI Tool Builder, which allows users to easily generate MCP servers with only the tools that their application needs. These custom servers require no extra setup or coding and are built on Postman’s network of over 100,000 public APIs.
