You can use this MCP server to automatically translate your REST API endpoints into Postman collections and keep your environment variables in sync. It supports multiple authentication methods, merges new endpoints with existing collections, and can run via stdio or SSE transports to fit your tooling choices.

How to use

Start by choosing how you want to run the server. You can run it directly with a command that connects to your Postman workspace, or run it in a streaming mode to receive updates as they happen.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Bun installed (v1.2.2 or later). You also need a Postman API Key and a Postman Workspace ID.

Install via a package manager and then run the MCP server with a ready-made command line.

npx -y @smithery/cli install @runninghare/rest-to-postman-mcp --client claude

npx -y rest-to-postman@latest --postman-api-key your_api_key --postman-workspace-id your_workspace_id

export POSTMAN_API_KEY=your_api_key
export POSTMAN_ACTIVE_WORKSPACE_ID=your_workspace_id
npx -y rest-to-postman@latest

Configuration and usage notes

The MCP server supports two main startup modes. You can run in stdio mode to interact directly with a client, or in SSE mode to receive a continuous stream of updates.

// StdIO: default run
bun run src/mcp.ts

// StdIO: run with SSE enabled
bun run src/mcp.ts --sse
