What the code does

We read the source, 21 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
preinstall: npx only-allow pnpm

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Postman MCP Server and you get told the day something new turns up.

Connect this server

Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 5 min ago.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add postman-mcp-server --transport http https://mcp.postman.com/mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postman-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.postman-mcp-server]
url = "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postman-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"
    }

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postman-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://mcp.postman.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: POSTMAN_API_KEY (A valid Postman API key.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

This server publishes 3 more addresses. The block above uses the one we reach during checks; the full list is under Endpoints below, and the author may intend a particular one for your client.

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 368 of 368 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 277 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 credentials: 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 277 ms on average, which is faster than 53% 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 8 327 times in the last week. Week over week that is +832%. 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, 315 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
