Connect Postman to ChatGPT
Search, read and write Postman from ChatGPT. Arlet links the two through one MCP connection and takes care of keys and authentication.
Arlet makes Postman's official MCP server available from the AI client you already use. Signing in completes the connection.
The AI can work with workspaces and collections, add and update requests, manage environments, specs and mocks, and run collections. This uses the US region's Minimal configuration (about 40 core tools); the available tools are those provided by Postman's official server.
