What you can do with 17TRACK in Claude and ChatGPT

For online sellers and logistics teams who follow parcels across carriers with 17TRACK.

List tracked parcels and their delivery status

The AI lists registered tracking numbers with carrier, status, last update and latest event. It filters by carrier, tracking state or package status, such as delivered.

Read the full history of a parcel

The AI gets the status, every carrier event with time and location, and the estimated delivery for up to 10 registered numbers.

Look up one number directly at the carrier

The AI checks one tracking number at the carrier without registering it. It uses 1 quota per call.

Changes data

Start tracking new parcel numbers

The AI registers up to 10 tracking numbers per call. Each accepted number uses 1 quota, and you can check what is left first.

Changes data

Fix a carrier, label a number or stop tracking

The AI assigns another carrier to numbers, sets your own tag on a number, stops tracking, or restarts tracking of a stopped number once.

How do I connect 17TRACK?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your 17TRACK Security Key.

Find it in the 17TRACK API dashboard under Settings → Security Key. Registering a number uses your own tracking quota. Do not enable an IP whitelist for this key: this hosted server has no fixed IP address. Your key is used only to call the 17TRACK API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http 17track https://17track.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "17track": {
      "url": "https://17track.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "17track": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://17track.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add 17track --url https://17track.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login 17track

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

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: the login page asks for your 17TRACK Security Key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Each paid plan covers this 17TRACK server only. Ask your AI to run track17_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with track17_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with track17_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

  • Get tracking quotatrack17_get_quota
    The account's tracking quota: total, used, remaining, used today, the daily registration limit (0 = no limit) and the free e-mail quota. Each registered tracking number uses 1 quota.
  • List registered tracking numberstrack17_list_tracking_numbers
    Search the tracking numbers registered on this account (40 per page) with their carrier, status, registration and last-update times, and latest event. Filter by number(s), carrier, tracking state, package status or registration date. Free: it does not use quota.
  • Get tracking detailstrack17_get_tracking
    Full tracking details (status, sub-status, milestones, every carrier event with time and location, estimated delivery) for up to 10 numbers that are ALREADY registered on this account. Free: it does not use quota. A number that is not registered comes back in `rejected` — register it first with track17_register_numbers, or use track17_realtime_lookup.

  • Real-time lookup of one numbertrack17_realtime_lookup
    WRITE (uses quota): look up ONE tracking number directly at the carrier right now, without registering it. Costs 1 quota per call (standard: carrier data up to 3 hours old). If the number is already registered, a changed result is also pushed to the account. Not supported for USPS, Royal Mail, Australia Post, Direct Freight Express, DHL eCommerce US and DHL Global Forwarding; some accounts are not enabled for real-time lookups.
  • Register tracking numberstrack17_register_numbers
    WRITE (uses quota): start tracking up to 10 tracking numbers per call. Each ACCEPTED number costs 1 quota from this account (see track17_get_quota); rejected numbers cost nothing. Deleting and re-registering a number costs again. 17TRACK then updates the status itself every 6-12 hours; read it with track17_get_tracking. The carrier is detected automatically unless a carrier code is given. No e-mail notifications are enabled.
  • Change the carrier of a numbertrack17_change_carrier
    WRITE: assign a different carrier to registered tracking numbers (up to 10 per call), for example when auto-detection picked the wrong one. A number can change carrier at most 5 times, and a successful change can be charged as one shipment (see track17_get_quota).
  • Change the tag of a numbertrack17_change_tag
    WRITE: set the tag (your own label, max 100 characters) of a registered tracking number. It replaces the old tag. Free.
  • Stop tracking numberstrack17_stop_tracking
    WRITE: stop tracking registered numbers (up to 10 per call). The numbers stay in the account for 90 days with their history and can be restarted ONCE each with track17_retrack. Stopping does not refund quota.
  • Restart tracking of stopped numberstrack17_retrack
    WRITE: restart tracking of stopped numbers (up to 10 per call). Each number can be restarted only ONCE in its lifetime, so a second restart is rejected.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)track17_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featuretrack17_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the 17TRACK tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+track17_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for 17TRACK (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptiontrack17_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's 17TRACK Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run track17_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with 17TRACK in Claude or ChatGPT?

List tracked parcels and their delivery status. Read the full history of a parcel. Look up one number directly at the carrier. Start tracking new parcel numbers. Fix a carrier, label a number or stop tracking. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official 17TRACK product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by 17TRACK. The server calls the 17TRACK API with your own 17TRACK access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect 17TRACK to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your 17TRACK Security Key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my 17TRACK key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. 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: the login page asks for your 17TRACK Security Key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my 17TRACK credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the 17TRACK API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in 17TRACK.

Can the AI change my 17TRACK data?

Yes, if you approve it. 6 of the 9 17TRACK tools can create or change data. The other 3 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this 17TRACK server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run track17_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run track17_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run track17_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a 17TRACK tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with track17_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
