What is the 17Track MCP Server?
Equip your AI agent with the most comprehensive logistics intelligence available via 17Track. This unified server provides your agent with instant access to real-time shipment status, event history, and carrier metadata for over 1,500 global logistics providers. Your agent can instantly register new tracking numbers, audit shipping progress, and retrieve detailed event logs without you ever checking a tracking page. Whether you are managing e-commerce fulfillment or tracking personal orders, your agent acts as a dedicated logistics coordinator through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Shipment Monitoring — Register and track thousands of packages simultaneously with real-time status updates.
- Event Auditing — Fetch complete historical logs and specific milestone events for any tracking number.
- Carrier Intelligence — Automatically detect the carrier for a given number and list all supported global providers.

Frequently asked questions
Can I track packages from different carriers like DHL and FedEx at once?
Yes! 17Track supports over 1,500 carriers. You can register any tracking number, and the detect_carrier tool can help identify which provider is handling the shipment.
How do I add a friendly name to a tracking number?
Use the update_tracking_tag tool and provide the tracking number along with your desired text in the tag parameter. This makes it easier to identify shipments later.
What happens if I don't know the carrier ID?
No problem. You can use the detect_carrier tool with the tracking number first. It will return the most likely carrier IDs, which you can then use to register the shipment.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
