DPD UK Tracking API & MCP

Query live DPD UK (dpduk) package status and scan history in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. This is the UK network behind track.dpd.co.uk; for DPD in other European countries (dpd.com) use the DPD Group carrier instead.

Overview & Quick Facts

Property	Value
Carrier slug (`?carrier=`)	`dpduk`

Category	UK domestic parcel carrier
Single-package REST endpoint	`GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/{trackingNumber}?carrier=dpduk`

MCP server (`https://mcp.lastscanned.com`)	`track_package`, `track_packages`, `list_carriers` (`claude mcp add --transport http lastscanned https://mcp.lastscanned.com`)

Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection

Pass	Rule / Regex	Check Digit	Examples
Pass 1 (`matches`)	None	n/a	n/a
Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)	`/^15\d{12}$/` (14-digit label barcode: `1550` plus the 10-digit parcel number)	none	`15501234567890`
Explicit (`?carrier=dpduk`)	The 14-digit barcode or the bare 10-digit parcel number	none	`1234567890`

DPD UK numbers have no check digit and share their shape with other carriers, so pass ?carrier=dpduk whenever you know the parcel is DPD UK. DPD matches on the last 10 digits, so the 14-digit barcode and the 10-digit number find the same parcel.

Status & Time Notes

Pickup shops: A parcel waiting at a DPD Pickup shop ("ready to be collected") is reported as exception until it is collected, and a refused parcel is exception too.
Times: DPD UK prints scan times as UK local time with no zone, including scans by its European partner networks, so timestamp is converted from Europe/London and localTime is the time as printed.
Rate limit: DPD allows about 50 requests a minute per IP and each lookup makes three, so large batches may return rate_limited for some numbers.
