Details
From the project README17TRACK MCP by usefulapi
Use 17TRACK from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — tracking numbers, tracking events, quota and carrier changes across 3000+ carriers. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own 17TRACK credentials.
Live endpoint: https://17track.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/17track
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://17track.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http 17track https://17track.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"17track": {
"url": "https://17track.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your 17TRACK credentials.
