How to Use the 17Track MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf automatically detect carriers with 17Track?

Yes. Cascade uses the detectcarrier tool to identify the shipping company from the tracking number format. You never have to manually look up whether a number belongs to the postal service or a private courier.

Q: How do I list supported shipping companies in Windsurf?

Tell your agent to pull the carrier list. Cascade will run listcarriers and return the full directory of supported logistics providers right in your chat window.

Give Cascade direct access to global package data. Track shipments via the MCP client right inside Windsurf.

Connect Windsurf to 1500+ carriers

The 17Track server gives Cascade direct access to global shipping data. You just ask your agent to find out where a package is. It fires off `detect_carrier` to figure out who is moving the box, then chains that right into `get_tracking_info`. You don't have to write the API integration yourself. The MCP server handles the authentication and endpoints while Cascade reads the live status. If a shipment gets stuck in customs, your agent pulls the exact location and timestamps directly into your editor.

Automate your shipment registration

This MCP integration lets you drop a list of order numbers into your IDE for automatic registration. Cascade grabs those strings and runs `register_tracking` for every single one. It even organizes the data for you. The agent uses `update_tracking_tag` to attach customer names or order IDs to the raw tracking numbers. You watch the terminal output as Windsurf builds your tracking database autonomously.

Clean up obsolete tracking data

Managing tracking quotas requires cleaning up obsolete data from the logistics platform. You can tell Cascade to clear out anything delivered over thirty days ago. The agent queries your database, identifies the stale records, and executes `stop_tracking`. If you need to wipe the records completely, it switches to the `delete_tracking` tool. You get a clean slate without writing a single database migration or cleanup script.
