What's New in 2025–2026

In March 2026, Postman launched a full platform relaunch built for the agentic era. The update introduces the API Catalog (a live management plane for all APIs and services), Git-connected Workspaces, and a redesigned Private API Network.

Agent Mode replaces Postbot in Postman v12. It provides a natural-language AI interface for writing tests, generating documentation, fixing errors, building Flows, and interacting with APIs. In April 2026, Agent Mode gained support for OpenAI models on Microsoft Foundry alongside a new Azure API Management integration and a Postman app for Microsoft Teams.

Postman now has full MCP support — create and send MCP requests directly in the app, generate MCP servers from 100,000+ APIs, and use deployed Flows as MCP tools for AI agents. Flow Actions let you deploy Flows to the cloud and trigger them via API endpoints.

Spec Hub provides centralized spec management with Spectral linting, OpenAPI 3.0 and AsyncAPI 2.0 support, multi-file references, and bidirectional sync between specs and collections. The CLI Generator can produce fully functional CLI applications directly from Postman collections or OpenAPI specs.

In January 2026, Postman acquired Fern to strengthen API documentation and SDK generation capabilities.

Note: As of March 2026, the free plan supports only one user. Team collaboration requires the paid Team plan.
