Following Shopify's support for mcp-ui ( Postman has also added support to both our agent mode and MCP client. This is a huge step towards making agents more powerful and interactive and I am excited about the potential of generative UIs!

Today we're introducing Postman Fabric Gateway—an AI-native agent gateway. Here's why it matters: agents will consume APIs at several orders of magnitude beyond traditional apps. Traditional API Gateways are not designed for AI agents. While many legacy vendors have tried to support agentic workloads, Postman customers have been asking us about something that is AI-native and doesn’t have the baggage of pre-AI architecture. Postman Fabric has been designed from the ground-up for agents with support for MCPs, CLIs, as well as APIs - both AI and deterministic APIs. We are building this with a modular architecture as we are still in the early innings of AI and there are many new patterns that are likely to emerge. One thing is certain though, agents are driven by APIs, and you can’t have agent-ready APIs without a purpose-built gateway. Through Postman Fabric, customers will be able to: 1️⃣ Have a single plane to manage all MCP servers - public or private 2️⃣ Expose internal APIs as MCP tools 3️⃣ Centralize SaaS credentials 4️⃣ Govern agent traffic and run policies at a consumer, route, or service level 5️⃣ Deploy on cloud or in a hybrid model We are opening up early access soon - let me know if you are interested in the comments or a DM!

At Postman, we have adopted an AI-native mindset to product development. What does this mean in practice? Just like you can generate text with AI, Postman's Agent Mode can generate a UI as well. Case in point: we have added the ability to review, generate, and change diffs for important changes right inside agent mode's chat interaction. If the user trusts agent mode, they can continue in auto-mode, but for critical changes, they can have the agent mode inform the user, review what is changing, and then give the go ahead to approve. See this in action below in the video! While there is a lot of focus on AI generated code today, I believe a large chunk of pre-built UI work will just go away and micro-interactions and workflow steps will be created on the fly through a combination of AI + APIs. How to operate in this new world? Build your API first. Hook it up to AI. If your users really want the UI every time, invest in the GUI.
