How to Use the DPD MCP in Windsurf

Q: Does Windsurf log my DPD customer names and addresses?

The server only processes the specific data needed for createshipment requests. It does not store PII, ensuring your customer data remains private.

Automate shipment creation in Windsurf

Cascade takes your order data and pipes it straight into `create_shipment` to generate labels without you opening a browser. It chains the process, handles the JSON payload, and confirms the parcel numbers. You don't watch it work. You define the shipment requirements and let the MCP server handle the handoff to the carrier.

Real-time parcel tracking via Windsurf

Trigger `get_parcel_status` to pull live tracking updates into your current file or chat context. It identifies exactly where a package sits in the network without manual lookups. This keeps your shipping data tied to the specific code or project files you're editing. It removes the friction of switching tabs to check delivery progress.

Find local drop-off points

Use `find_parcelshop` to locate nearby DPD pickup locations based on your current project coordinates or customer addresses. The agent returns the precise shop details for your logistics logic. Your code gets the exact location data it needs to build customer-facing maps or shipping selectors. It treats physical geography like any other API data point.
