Claude uses these on its own when your request matches.
- ai-readinessScores a Postman collection or an OpenAPI spec for how well an AI agent can discover, understand, call, and recover from errors with it — missing examples, undocumented errors, and ambiguous parameters all cost points. Use when the user asks "is my API agent-ready," "can AI…
- api-discoveryFinds what APIs, collections, specs, or requests already exist before building something new, and answers questions about how they relate. Use when the user asks "does an API for X already exist," "what depends on this service," "what does this API do," or before scaffolding…
- api-documentationGenerate filesystem-first agent friendly api documentation that you can share with your teammates without hassle. Use when the user asks to "publish API docs," "generate documentation for this API," "put this on the API Network," "share a docs link for this collection or spec,"…
- api-engineerDefault entry point for API engineering work — designing, implementing, mocking, testing, monitoring, documenting, or deploying an API.
- api-mockingStands up a fake backend that behaves like a real API — from a collection or an OpenAPI spec, running locally or pushed to Postman's cloud for a durable URL — plus request-time scenario and status-code overrides for testing failure paths. Use when the user asks to "mock this…
- api-monitoringCreates, schedules, and manages Postman Monitors — recurring checks against a live API — triggers ad hoc runs, inspects job/run history to diagnose failures, and hosts self-hosted execution runners for monitors on a private network. Use when the user asks to "set up a monitor,"…
- api-testingRuns tests against an API from the command line — a single ad-hoc request, a full collection of pm.test assertions, or matching real captured app traffic against a collection contract. Use when the user asks to "test this endpoint," "run this collection," "check the API still…
- bootstrapResolves the Postman CLI, authenticates, links the workspace, and records this repo's spec path, collections directory and workspace id. Use when the user asks to "set up Postman here", "connect this repo to Postman", "link this workspace", "authenticate with Postman", "postman…
- ci-integrationCommon CI integrations that can added as independent pass/fail gates. Use when the user asks to "add Postman to CI," "run this collection on every PR," "fail the build on a governance violation," or "push to the postman cloud workspace after merge to main", "add some api…
- collection-schema-v3The reference for the git-native v3 collection file format — one YAML file per request/folder/example under postman/collections/, plus postman/environments/. Read before writing, editing, or generating any file in either directory by hand, or before debugging a `collection…
- flowsRuns, deploys, and debugs Postman Flows from the command line — executing a flow file locally, triggering a deployed flow over its webhook, deploying one so it becomes callable, and tracing a failed run to the block that broke. Use when the user names a flow and an action ("run…
- performance-testingLoad-tests a collection with concurrent virtual users, a chosen load profile, and pass/fail thresholds on latency or error rate — run locally or on Postman's cloud runners. Use when the user asks to "load test this API," "run a performance test," "check how this holds up under…
- postman-mcp-serverPostman concepts and MCP tool guidance. Loaded when working with Postman MCP tools to make better decisions about tool selection and workarounds.
