1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
gemini mcp add --transport http postman https://mcp.postman.com/mcp
2. Sign in
Run /mcp auth <name> inside Gemini CLI to sign in to an OAuth server. Postman is hosted by Postman, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask Gemini CLI for something Postman can do. Use Postman workspaces, collections, environments and APIs from an agent. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.
- · In settings.json, streamable HTTP servers use httpUrl, SSE servers use url, local servers use command.
