Postman MCP connector
The Postman connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI clients read and update your Postman APIs, collections, schemas and comments, with every call made as the signed-in person and recorded in an audit log.
-
How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.
-
One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.
-
Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

Use cases
What teams do with Postman through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Engineering
Find the API before the meeting
Ask for an API by name and get its description, collections and attached schemas without opening Postman and clicking through workspaces.
-
Platform
Register a new API with its schema
Describe the service in plain language and have the API created in Postman with its schema file attached, ready for the team to build on.
-
QA
Leave review notes on a collection
After a test run, add comments to the collection or the API that explain what failed and what needs a second look, so the owner sees it in Postman.
-
API governance
Tidy tags and descriptions in bulk
Pull the list of APIs, spot the ones missing an owner tag or a description, and update them together instead of one at a time.
-
Developer relations
Summarize what changed across APIs
Ask which APIs and collections were updated this week and turn the answer into a changelog draft for partners and external developers.
-
Product
Read usage analytics without a dashboard
Ask which Postman APIs are getting the most attention according to analytics, and get a plain answer you can paste into a roadmap update.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Postman to Claude?
First connect Postman in Elaichi by pasting a Postman API key, which you copy from your Postman account settings. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude signs in to Elaichi as you and Postman is ready to use.
Does Postman work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Postman is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, the Elaichi Agent and any other MCP client. You connect Postman once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Postman data?
An agent connected to Postman can look up your APIs and collections, create new ones, update their details, attach schemas and schema files, add or edit comments, manage tags and read analytics. It can also update several APIs at once when you need to clean things up. Because Postman offers a lot of actions, short concrete asks such as "add a comment to the Payments collection" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Postman give the AI access to every workspace?
No. The agent works with exactly what the Postman API key can see, so it never reaches a workspace, API or collection that the person who connected Postman could not open themselves. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to read-only, but it can never widen it.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Postman?
Yes. In Elaichi you can block individual actions on the Postman connector, such as deleting an API or removing a comment, while leaving reading and creating available. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can trigger it.
What happens to a Postman connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Postman through every AI client ends at once. A Postman connection they shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on it. If you want Postman gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
