Connect Postman to Claude
Search, read and write Postman from Claude. 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.
How to connect Postman to Claude
- 1
In the Arlet dashboard, open Integrations β Add an integration and choose Postman. Sign in with Link Postman, name the connection and click Create.

Choose Custom β Web, enter "Arlet" as the Name and https://mcp.arlet.dev/mcp/ as the Remote MCP server URL, then click Add. Authentication settings are auto-detected, so keep the defaults.

The first time you use it, sign in with Google. After that, every service you switched on in Arlet is available from Claude.
Adding a connector is done by an organization admin on Team / Enterprise plans. On Pro / Max you can add it for yourself from Settings β Connectors with the same steps.
