Human-friendly API client with an AI sidekick
Describe the call you want in plain English and let the assistant assemble method, URL, headers, auth and body.
Use the same account across the terminal binary, the desktop app and the browser app, picking whichever fits the task.
Human-friendly request syntax and colorized, formatted responses make debugging APIs faster than raw curl output.
Saved requests, environments, collections, export and import, path parameters and copy-as-command support day-to-day team workflows.
Design, test, and govern APIs — now with AI agents in the loop
A multi-protocol client with collections, environments, variables, and reusable requests that works for local debugging and for driving automated test suites.
Generates assertions automatically, supports data-driven runs with exported datasets, and executes tests locally, in the cloud, or from CI pipelines via the Postman CLI.
Agent Mode, the Postman CLI agent skills, and a Model Context Protocol server let coding assistants build collections, write tests, and trigger API workflows from inside the editor.
A structured, queryable map of an organization's APIs, collections, and dependencies that lets agents find the right service and understand what a schema change would break.
