We’ve put together a catalog of hosted MCP servers on the Posmtan API Network to help devs discover and test servers using the Postman client. Would love feedback.

Hey Abhinav, DX is such a critical component to a successful API, and historically "developer" has meant "human." As agents become important consumers of APIs, what are your thoughts on how DX evolves? Is "agent experience" or "machine experience" different than developer experience?

If anyone else is wondering, TIL the spelling “Hallowe’en” on a number of these postcards is a contraction of “All Hallows’ Even," and that "even" was a common term for "evening" in Old and Middle English.

Thanks for sharing this. Without having any more context, here are some thoughts to consider:

- are there rituals that your community observes together?

- are there milestones community members can achieve that signify their progress or tenure?

- are you regularly acknowledging and celebrating folks who are contributing and adding a lot of value?

- have you tried casual events to connect members to one another?

- what is the unifying sense of identity that could/should bind everyone together? Can you lean into that?

Thanks! We definitely could've started with events sooner, IMO. The simple practice of getting folks together to meet and talk shop contributed to the sense of momentum overall and the interpersonal connections in particular.

I should note that all the events we've done to date have been small, and focused on our existing community. I think such focus made sense for us in year one, since we were building the community and the product at the same time. In other words, we didn't have the capacity to produce a broadly-focused event.

That said, the intimate vibe in the early days goes a long way toward engendering a sense of ownership and belonging among community members. I honestly think it's more meaningful to do smaller insider events more frequently in the early days, versus casting a brand net and potentially diluting the group’s nascent identity and culture norms.

Now that we're scaling up, I anticipate increasing the reach of our events as well. But that’s okay, as we have the team to support it on one hand, and on the other, the culture of the community is already well-defined.
