Generating a MCP Server, but when downloading the zip, it fails

Help Hub
1

I am trying to generate my own MCP server and I am following the instructions to generate one.

1.. In APi Network select MCP Generator

2.. In the Generate an MCP Server select Hacker News API

3.. Select all 4 items.

4.. Click the Generate button

5.. Once the MCP server has been generated, try and click the download ZIP.

So right now it gives me this error

Failed to download the MCP server. Please try again.

I have tried numerous different APIs to connect to, but the same error and this happens in both the desktop app and web app.

Any ideas why it’s happening?

Hey @robertmoss25 :waving_hand:

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

Thanks for raising this, I’ve not seen the same behaviour when following your steps :sad_but_relieved_face:

I have run postman in admin mode, and the same result, so not sure what is happening. I have plenty of space and its not an issue with permission to the folder, as I said I am running it as an admin.

So any other suggestions would be appreciated.
