How to Connect Dhl to Gemini — via MCP

Connect DHL Tracking to Gemini

DHL is the world's largest logistics company, handling millions of shipments daily. With AnythingMCP, you can connect DHL's Unified Tracking API to Gemini and track your shipments using natural language.

What You Can Do

• "Track my DHL shipment 1234567890"
• "What's the delivery status of these 5 packages?"
• "When will my parcel arrive?"
• "Show all delivery events for tracking number XYZ"

Setup

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

1. Open http://localhost:3000/connectors/store and import the DHL Shipment Tracking adapter
2. Enter your DHL API key (register at developer.dhl.com)
3. Assign the connector to an MCP server

Connect Gemini

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from ~/.gemini/settings.json (on Windows %USERPROFILE%\.gemini\settings.json). Add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

1. Create an MCP API key in AnythingMCP under MCP Servers → your server → API keys, and paste it in place of YOUR_MCP_API_KEY.
2. Save the file and restart gemini.
3. Run /mcp inside Gemini CLI (or gemini mcp list in your shell) — anythingmcp should show as connected.
4. Start prompting — Gemini CLI can now call the DHL Tracking tools.

Self-hosting with the quickstart above? Use your server's local endpoint http://localhost:4000/mcp/<server-id> as the URL.

FAQ

Where does Gemini CLI look for MCP servers? In ~/.gemini/settings.json for your user, or in .gemini/settings.json inside a project. gemini mcp list shows each server and whether it connects.
