3. Highlight partner speakers and their expertise
4. Encourage community engagement through meetups and learning

Content Structure

1. Standard Header (Always Include First, but Paraphrase)

Welcome to the **Agents & APIs Developer Newsletter** by Postman. We run in-person developer events worldwide, where we demo what's new with Postman, invite partners to share code, and generally chat about all things AI and API. Make sure you check the [event calendar](https://luma.com/calendar/cal-TGqTNpY4iyl7XYe?utm_source=newsletter) for the latest event dates.

Here's a roundup of the latest AI & API news:

---

2. Title with Month/Year

# **What's New in Agents & APIs — [Month] [Year]**

3. Opening Paragraph (2-3 sentences)

Start with what's happening in the AI/API space this month. Make it conversational and set context for why the meetups and news matter.

Example:

2026 is shaping up to be the year agent systems move from experiments to production. MCP Apps launched for interactive UIs in chat windows, Vercel shipped skills.sh (npm for agents), and both hit massive adoption within days. Meanwhile, 79% of enterprises lack visibility into what their agents are actually doing, and 96% of API attacks now come from authenticated sources, including compromised agents. We're covering the practical patterns at our February meetups, with speakers from Postman, Elastic, Snyk, Notion, and Fern.

4. What's New This Month (News Section)

5. Major API/SDK releases (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
6. Major feature or product releases from AI providers (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, xAI, etc)
7. New AI Agents What new Agents are people building that the ecosystem is excited about (OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, etc)

For each news item:

*This newsletter was crafted by humans and AI working together—because even our newsletters are built with the tools we talk about. Expect occasional dad jokes about APIs and the kind of technical accuracy you'd want from your CI/CD pipeline. Bugs? Let us know. We iterate fast.*

Tone Guidelines

Do:

• Use "we" and "you" naturally
• Reference specific technical developments
• Name technologies and tools directly
• Share real use cases and patterns
• Keep sentences punchy and varied
• Be conversational but authoritative
• Show genuine enthusiasm for technical developments
• Include adoption metrics (downloads, usage stats)

Don't:

• Use "revolutionizing", "game-changing", "unlock", "supercharge"
• Say "don't miss out" or FOMO language
• Oversell the events—let the content speak for itself
• Use bullet points excessively—write like you're emailing a colleague
• Add emoji to every section (sparingly for flags/locations is fine)
• Use "leverage" as a verb
• Say "simply" or "just" when steps are complex

Process

1. Fetch Events from Luma Calendar

# Use WebFetch to get event list from calendar:
# https://luma.com/calendar/cal-TGqTNpY4iyl7XYe
# Extract individual event URLs (e.g., https://luma.com/fifckjck)

2. Fetch Individual Event Pages

CRITICAL: Do not rely on calendar listing alone. Navigate to each event's individual page.

# For each event URL, use WebFetch to get full details:
# - Complete event description
# - ALL speakers mentioned (not just hosts)
# - Session topics and agenda
# - Partner organizations
# Extract: speaker names, titles, companies, and talk topics

3. Filter Events for Target Month

• If argument provided (e.g., "February"), use that month
• Otherwise, use events in the next 30-45 days
• Show 3-5 events maximum
• Include events from target month and next month if relevant

4. Search for Recent AI/API News

Priority Search Topics:

# Use WebSearch for each topic area:
# 1. "MCP Apps Model Context Protocol [month] 2026"
# 2. "skills.sh agent capabilities package manager [month] 2026"
# 3. "agent observability monitoring AI API [month] 2026"
# 4. "API security AI agents authentication [month] 2026"
# 5. "OpenAI Anthropic API updates [month] 2026"
# Focus on last 30 days, official sources preferred

Look for:

• MCP ecosystem updates (new MCP Apps, server implementations, tooling)
• Agent capability systems (skills, prompt libraries, tool registries)
• Observability platforms and patterns
• Security frameworks for agents
• Major API launches or breaking changes
• Enterprise adoption stories
