# Postman To Curl — MCP tool `findutils:postman_to_curl`

Convert a Postman collection (v2.x JSON) into curl commands, one per request, and return them as a script plus a per-request list. Folders are walked recursively; a single request object is accepted too. Each command carries the method, resolved URL (raw or host/path/query), enabled headers, bearer or basic auth, and raw, urlencoded, or form-data bodies. Output uses short flags by default; long_form switches to --request, --header, --user, --data, --form.
