Chit Chats Tracking API & MCP

Query live Chit Chats (chitchats) package status, scan history, and the handoff carrier's tracking number in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. Chit Chats ids are too generic to auto-detect, so pass ?carrier=chitchats.

Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection

PassRule / RegexCheck DigitExamples
Pass 1 (matches)nonenonenone
Pass 2 (mayMatch)nonenonenone

A Chit Chats id is 10 upper-case letters and digits (for example A1B2C3D4E5), a shape other carriers also use, so it is never auto-detected. Always pass ?carrier=chitchats.

Notes

  • Handoff: message names the carrier Chit Chats passed the parcel to and its number (for example "Handed to USPS as 9400100000000000000000"). Pass that number to GET /v1/track/{number} for the partner's own scans.
  • Time zone: Chit Chats event times carry a UTC offset, so timestamp and localTime are exact.
  • Unknown ids: an id Chit Chats does not know, or one that cannot be an id, returns not_found.
