Postman MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Postman MCP Server?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Postman MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 364 of 364 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 280 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Postman MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own key or an OAuth login: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Postman MCP Server need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Postman MCP Server answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Postman MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 280 ms on average, which is faster than 49% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Postman MCP Server?
The npm package @postman/postman-mcp-server was installed 7 616 times in the last week. Week over week that is -28%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Postman MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 292 stars on GitHub and 8 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
