New capabilities embed AI directly into development workflows and introduce API Catalog as a central system of record for all APIs and services

Postman, the world’s leading API platform, today announced a significant evolution of its platform, introducing AI-native, git-based API workflows and API Catalog, a central system of record that provides a single view of APIs and services. With this release, Postman enables more than 40 million developers from 500,000 organizations to accelerate API development with AI embedded directly into the core—while preserving existing enterprise workflows, delivering centralized visibility, and meeting modern security demands.

AI is rapidly reshaping how software gets built. According to Postman’s latest State of the API Report, 89% of developers already use AI. However, many organizations still rely on external AI tools instead of embedding them directly into development platforms, limiting their impact.

To close this gap, Postman’s latest innovations are based on a core belief: AI must be native to the API platform, not bolted onto it. Instead of operating as a standalone assistant, Postman’s intelligence layer runs inside the platform with full visibility into specs, tests, environments, and real production behavior. With Postman’s Agent Mode, developers can understand APIs, execute changes, diagnose issues, and apply updates while operating inside existing governance controls, transforming how teams build and scale services.

“The world’s APIs are built and shipped on Postman, and we believe AI should live inside the platform—not alongside it,” said Abhinav Asthana, co-founder and CEO of Postman. “We’ve re-architected our foundation around that principle, delivering intelligence that operates with deep context across the full spectrum of API workflows. As teams move from experimenting with AI to operationalizing it, Postman provides the bedrock that lets them scale API and agentic projects with confidence.”

At the center of this evolution is API Catalog, Postman’s central system of record for APIs and services delivering enterprise-wide visibility and governance. API Catalog offers a real-time view of which APIs and services exist, how they’re performing, and who owns them. By grounding AI capabilities in this authoritative source of context, Postman enables teams to operate with greater visibility, accountability, and governance at scale.

Additional new AI-native capabilities include:

Native Git workflows to manage API specs, collections, tests, mocks, and environments directly in developers’ Git repos and local filesystems
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—while keeping every change version and reviewable
Integrated API distribution to publish documentation, workflows, sandboxes, and SDKs in one place

"With Postman's Agent Mode, developers can coordinate API changes and leverage the Atlassian Rovo MCP server to bring in shared context from the Atlassian tools they already rely on, such as Jira and Confluence, to plan and ship software,” said Josh Devenny, Head of Product for Rovo Skills at Atlassian. “Agentic workflows like these help teams move faster while building, testing, documenting, and troubleshooting APIs, with higher governance and security.”
