There's no single, simple automatic migration tool. Numerous tools exist
to help. See a simple Google search for "convert mysql postgresql", the
first result of which is:

For more complex jobs you may want to look at ETL tools like Pentaho or
Talend, but the nature of your question suggests it's probably a fairly
simple database.
It's often easiest to just hand-write the new schema, then do a
data-only MySQL dump in portable mode (with inserts) and run that
through psql.
Use mysqldump WITHOUT the "--all" or "-a" option so it doesn't dump as
much MySQL-specific stuff, and use "--no-create-db --no-create-info" to
suppress the schema definitions. Then edit out any remaining
MySQL-specific stuff and feed it into psql.
