GLS Canada (Dicom) Tracking API & MCP
Query live GLS Canada (glscanada, formerly Dicom) parcel status and scan history in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. lastscanned reads the same service the tracker on gls-group.com/CA uses, so no account or API key is needed.

Pass 2 (mayMatch) | None | none | none |
Explicit (?carrier=glscanada) | GLS Canada / Dicom numbers | none | 1234567890 |
GLS Canada numbers share their shape with other carriers, so a number is never auto-detected as GLS Canada. Always pass ?carrier=glscanada.
