How to Use the 17Track MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live package tracking into your Next.js or React app. The Vercel AI SDK streams 17Track data right into your UI components.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect 17Track MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect 17Track to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Live Tracking Status in Your UI
The `get_tracking_info` tool pulls the latest status for any package. Your agent can call it with a tracking number and get back the current location, status, and delivery estimate. With the Vercel AI SDK, this data doesn't just load—it streams directly into your components. Your users see the details appear in real-time without a loading spinner. It makes your tracking page feel responsive and alive.
Add and Manage Shipments
Your app can give users the ability to register new shipments with `register_tracking` and clean up old ones using `delete_tracking`. This isn't just a read-only connection; your agent can actively manage a user's list. You can also modify a shipment's metadata with `update_tracking_tag`. Let users add an order ID, a nickname for the package, or any other useful label. It's all managed through your agent's calls to this MCP server.
Carrier Detection for the Vercel AI SDK
Don't make users guess which carrier a tracking number belongs to. The `detect_carrier` tool figures it out automatically. Just pass the number, and it returns the carrier's name and code, ready to be displayed in your UI. To build a dropdown menu or an autocomplete field, you can also get a full directory of supported couriers. The `list_carriers` tool provides everything you need to give users a clean selection experience, powered by your agent.
