How to integrate Crawleo MCP server in Postman
Postman now supports MCP, making it an ideal place to explore the Crawleo MCP server before wiring it into an app. In this tutorial we connect Postman to Crawleo's MCP endpoint, authenticate with an API key, list the available tools, and invoke search and crawl directly — a clean way to understand the protocol and verify everything works.
What you'll learn
- Creating an MCP request in Postman
- Connecting to the Crawleo MCP server
- Authenticating with your API key
- Listing and invoking the search and crawl tools
Step-by-step guide
- 1
Copy your Crawleo API key
Grab your API key from the Crawleo Dashboard so Postman can authenticate against the MCP server.
- 2
Create a new MCP request in Postman
In Postman, start a new MCP request and enter the Crawleo MCP server endpoint or command as shown in the Crawleo docs.
- 3
Add authentication
Supply your Crawleo API key where Postman asks for credentials / headers so the connection is authorized.
- 4
List the available tools
Connect and let Postman enumerate Crawleo's tools. You'll see search, crawl, and the other endpoints exposed over MCP.
- 5
Invoke a tool
Run the search tool with a query, then try crawl on a URL. Inspect the structured responses to confirm everything is working end to end.
Frequently asked questions
Why test MCP in Postman first?
Postman gives you a clear view of the tools, parameters, and raw responses without writing code, so you can validate the Crawleo MCP server before integrating it into an agent or app.
Do I need a paid Crawleo plan to follow this tutorial?
No. Crawleo has a free tier that includes credits for search and crawling, so you can complete the entire setup and run real requests without entering a card. Create an account at crawleo.dev, grab your API key, and you're ready.
Where do I get my Crawleo API key?
Sign in at crawleo.dev, open your Dashboard, and copy the API key from the API Keys section. Treat it like a password and store it in an environment variable rather than committing it to source control.
Try it with your own API key
Create a free Crawleo account and follow along — no card required.
