Looking to accelerate API development via AI, Postman has added AI-native, Git-based API workflows to its Postman API platform. The company also introduced the Postman API Catalog, a central system of record that provides a single view of APIs and services across an organization.

The new Postman platform capabilities were announced March 1. With the new release, Postman’s AI-powered intelligence layer, rather than operating as a standalone assistant, now runs inside the platform, with visibility into specifications, tests, environments, and real production behavior, Postman said. Agent Mode in Postman now works with Git repositories to understand API collections, definitions, and underlying code. This reduces manual steps in workflow such as debugging, writing tests, and syncing code with API collections, according to the company.

Additional new AI-native capabilities in the API platform include:

  • Native Git workflows to manage API specs, collections, tests, mocks, and environments directly in developers’ Git repos and local file systems.
  • AI-powered coordination with Agent Mode across specs, tests, and mocks to automate multi-step changes with broad workflow context, including input provided by MCP servers from Atlassian, Amazon CloudWatch, GitHub, Linear, Sentry, and Webflow.
  • Integrated API distribution to publish documentation, workflows, sandboxes, and SDKs in one place.

The new API Catalog, meanwhile, provides a central system of records for APIs and services, delivering enterprise-wide visibility and governance. The API Catalog provides a real-time view of which APIs and services exist, how they are performing, and who owns them, Postman said.
