GLS Group Europe Tracking API & MCP
Query live GLS Group Europe (gls) package status and scan history in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. lastscanned reads the same call as gls-group.eu's parcel-tracking page. GLS US is a separate carrier: see GLS US.

}Notes
- Uses
gls-group.eu/app/service/open/rest/EU/en/rstt029withcaller=witt002, as the tracking page does. An unknown number answers 404 and becomesnot_found. - Scan times carry no zone;
timestampis set only when the scan's country is a single-time-zone country. - The package status follows GLS's own progress bar when it is present.
