Postman

Connect Postman to Copilot Studio

Search, read and write Postman from Copilot Studio. 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 Copilot Studio

  1. 1

    In the Arlet dashboard, open Integrations → Add an integration and choose Postman. Sign in with Link Postman, name the connection and click Create.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Copilot Studio with your work account, create a new agent (or open an existing one), and in the Build tab choose Tools → + → Add → Model Context Protocol (MCP) in the right panel.

  3. 3

    In the Add MCP server form, enter "Arlet" as the Server name, https://mcp.arlet.dev/mcp/ as the Server URL, choose OAuth 2.0 for Authentication and "Dynamic (detected)" for Configuration type, then click Add. No Client ID / Secret is needed.

  4. 4

    On the Select a connection screen, choose Create new connection → Create, then sign in with Google on the Arlet authorization screen and click Allow. Click Add to attach the tool to the agent, then Publish to use it from Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Requires a Microsoft work account and a Copilot Studio license (or trial). MCP is available only for agents using generative orchestration and not in Copilot Studio in Teams.
