# XLCourier Tracking API & MCP

URL: https://docs.lastscanned.com/carriers/xlcourier

Query live **XLCourier** (`xlcourier`) package status and scan history in a single synchronous `GET` request or MCP tool call. `lastscanned` auto-detects `XLC…` numbers.

## Overview & Quick Facts

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| **Carrier slug (`?carrier=`)** | `xlcourier` |
| **Brand aliases** | XLCourier, XL Courier, XLC |
| **Category** | UK parcel delivery |
| **Single-package REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/{trackingNumber}` |
| **Batch REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track?numbers=XLC354092310529,...` |
| **MCP server (`https://mcp.lastscanned.com`)** | `track_package`, `track_packages`, `list_carriers` |
| **Authentication & pricing** | `Authorization: Bearer lsk_live_...` · 1 free keyless lookup/day per IP |

## Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection

| Pass | Rule / Regex | Check Digit | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`)** | `/^XLC\d{10,12}$/` | none | `XLC354092310529` |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)** | none | none | none |

`XLC` numbers belong to XLCourier alone, so `?carrier=xlcourier` is optional.

## Notes

- **Codes**: `code` is XLCourier's numeric event status (100 created, 600 received, 1000 out for delivery, 1100 delivery failed, 1600 delivered).
- **Time zone**: times carry no zone, so events have `localTime` only (`timestamp` is `null`).
