DPD Germany MCP Server — Parcel Tracking for AI Agents

Track DPD Germany Parcels with AI Agents

DPD (Dynamic Parcel Distribution) is the second-largest parcel carrier in Germany. AnythingMCP wraps DPD's public Parcel Life Cycle (PLC) REST endpoint so your AI agent can fetch the full event history, current status, and predicted delivery time for any DPD shipment — no contract or API key required.

Quick Setup with Built-in Adapter

The DPD adapter ships with AnythingMCP. The endpoint is public.

Step 1: Deploy AnythingMCP

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

Step 2: Import the Adapter

1. Open http://localhost:3000 and register. The first account becomes the admin.
2. Open the connector store (http://localhost:3000/connectors/store), pick DPD Germany Tracking, fill in the credentials it asks for (some connectors need none) and install it.
3. Under MCP Servers, create a server and assign the DPD Germany Tracking connector to it. On the server's page, copy the MCP endpoint (http://localhost:4000/mcp/<server-id>) and generate a key under API keys.

The quickstart listens on localhost only. For an instance that other people or cloud-based AI clients can reach, clone the repository and run ./setup.sh, which sets up a domain, HTTPS and OAuth (deployment guide).

Step 3: Connect to Your AI Agent

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dpd": {
      "url": "http://localhost:4000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
