APC Postal Logistics Tracking API & MCP

Query live APC Postal Logistics (apc) package status, scan history, and the final-mile carrier's tracking number in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. APC numbers have no shape of their own, so pass ?carrier=apc.

Notes

  • Delivered: the scan that APC's own page marks as the delivery step sets delivered; other scans are classified from their wording.
  • Unknown numbers: APC's page answers a missing number and a failed upstream with the same error, so both are reported as not_found.
  • Handoff: message carries the final-mile carrier and number when APC gives one; pass it to GET /v1/track/{number} for that carrier's scans.
