🧪 API Testing

View raw collection JSON

View on Postman

Note: If clicking “View” in Postman shows a 404 (“we could not find the workspace”), the collection hasn’t been published to a public Postman workspace. Click “Fork” instead to import it into your own workspace. Publishing this collection to a public workspace will enable the “View” option for everyone.

To make “View” work for everyone (publish to public workspace):

• In Postman, open the collection → Share → Move or Share to Workspace → select a Public workspace (or create one)
• Open the collection on the web (View in Web) and copy the URL
• Share that public URL in this README to allow direct View and Fork

I’ve created a complete Postman collection demonstrating all MCP tools:

• Search Jobs - Find Postman opportunities with match scores
• Analyze Skills - See what you need to learn
• Track Applications - Never miss a deadline
• Get Interview Tips - Prepare for Postman interviews
• View Applications - See all tracked jobs

Download collection JSON

Forking in Postman:

• Click the “Run in Postman” button above to import the collection
• In Postman, click the ••• next to the imported collection → Create a fork → choose your workspace
• You can now use and modify your fork independently

Set collection variable:

• After importing/forking, set mcp_server_url (in collection variables) to your server base URL, e.g. http://localhost:8080.
