What Postman does

Postman is an API platform for designing, testing, documenting, and monitoring APIs, with Git and API gateway integrations across the API lifecycle. It also lets users create MCP requests to connect to, experiment with, and evaluate Model Context Protocol servers from within their collections.

Why teams reach for it: Lets a team test and evaluate MCP servers using the same collections and workspace they already use for API testing.
