Configure Postman for the AI Gateway

To allow your users to securely query API workspaces, collections, and environments using their AI clients, you can configure the Postman Model Context Protocol (MCP) server within the JumpCloud AI Gateway.

Prerequisites

• Before configuring specific enterprise applications, we recommend reviewing the Get Started: AI Gateway guide to familiarize yourself with the gateway architecture and core AI concepts (such as MCP servers and AI clients).

Completing Application Setup

Before you can connect this server to the AI Gateway, you must determine your authentication method. See Postman's Set up a remote Postman MCP server to learn more.

• OAuth: Postman's MCP server supports OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). No app creation or additional configuration is required to connect it to the AI Gateway.
• API Token: You must generate a Postman API key.
  • Note: The Postman EU remote server only supports API token authentication.

Configuring the Server in JumpCloud

See Adding MCP Servers in Configure AI Gateway Integrations and use the following values to configure this server:

• App: Select Postman (if you have an existing SSO application or bookmark), or + Add App to create it
• Name: Enter a name, for example Postman
• Prefix: Enter a value to prepend to MCP tool names
  • Note: Prefixes must be unique. Maximum 8 characters, letters and numbers only
• URL: Enter the Postman MCP server URL depending on your region. By default, Postman recommends the Minimal endpoint (/minimal):
  • US: https://mcp.postman.com/minimal
  • EU: https://mcp.eu.postman.com/minimal

note

Postman offers additional endpoints (such as /code or /learn) to limit the tools exposed to the AI client. To change the scope, replace /minimal in your regional URL with your desired endpoint. See Postman's Remote MCP server endpoints to learn more.

• MCP authentication method: Select OAuth or API Token
  • Note: The EU remote server only supports API token authentication
• Advanced fields: Not required
• App API documentation link (API Token only): Enter https://learning.postman.com/docs/reference/postman-api/postman-mcp-server/postman-mcp-remote-server

Your users will now see Postman listed as an available application when they authenticate their AI clients through the JumpCloud AI Gateway.
