Deploy a DHL MCP Server in Claude Code

Run `create_shipment` from your terminal to instantly generate DHL labels with Claude Code. Claude Code connects to this MCP Server to run the DHL command on demand, dumping tracking numbers and label URLs to stdout. You can pipe these DHL outputs directly into other CLI tools or save the label PDFs using Claude Code.

Scripted Rates and Address Checks

Use `validate_address` to clean up DHL shipping destinations directly from the Claude Code command line. Claude Code calls this DHL tool to clean up your distribution lists before you run a batch. The Claude Code agent executes `get_rates` to spit out DHL pricing tables for different transit speeds in seconds.

Headless Tracking and Customs Retrieval

Query `track_shipment` to monitor DHL transit checkpoints from your Claude Code shell. Monitor your DHL supply chain without opening a browser by letting Claude Code query the status of any package. When international DHL packages get flagged, Claude Code runs `get_proforma_invoice` to pull down the necessary customs documents.
