In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Jokes MCP Servertell me a Chuck Norris joke"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
DHL Shipment Tracking MCP Server 🚚📦
Powered by Microsoft Copilot Studio ❤️ MCP
This project provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server exposing a DHL Shipment Tracking tool that can be used by Microsoft Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot Agents, or any other MCP‑compatible client.
It is based on the official Microsoft MCP Streamable HTTP Template, but the server logic has been replaced with a production‑ready DHL shipment tracking integration.
✨ What This Server Does
The server exposes one MCP Tool: track-shipment
🔧 track-shipment
Tracks a DHL shipment using the official DHL Shipment Tracking - Unified API. https://developer.dhl.com/api-reference/shipment-tracking
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
trackingNumber | string | The DHL tracking number |
apiKey | string | User-provided DHL API key |
Response:
Formatted JSON output from the DHL API, suitable for LLM processing.

⚙️ How It Works
The server is built on:
Express.js for HTTP routing
Model Context Protocol SDK for defining tools
Streamable HTTP Transport for Copilot Studio compatibility
Zod for schema validation
MCP clients communicate via:
POST /mcp
If you open /mcp in the browser, seeing this means the server is working:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32000,"message":"Method not allowed."},"id":null}

🏃♂️ Run the MCP Server Locally
Install and start:
npm install
npm run build && npm run start
Server runs on:
Using VS Code Dev Tunnels (Recommended for Copilot Studio)
Start the server
Open VS Code Terminal → PORTS
Forward port 3000
Set visibility to Public
Use the forwarded URL ending in /mcp, e.g.:
https://abc-3000.devtunnels.ms/mcp
🌐 Deploy to Azure (Optional)
Login:
azd auth login
Deploy:
azd up
Remove everything later:
azd down
🤖 Using the DHL MCP Server in Visual Studio Code
Open Command Palette
Run: MCP: Add Server
Choose HTTP / SSE
Enter your URL ending in /mcp
Name it e.g. DHLTracking
Open GitHub Copilot → Agent Mode
Enable the tool
Ask:
Track shipment 00340434161234567890 using API key XYZ.
🧠 Use in Microsoft Copilot Studio
Open Custom Connectors
Import from GitHub
Set the connector host to your tunnel/Azure URL
Create or open an Agent
Add the MCP Server under Tools → Model Context Protocol
Create a connection
Test with:
Track shipment 00340434161234567890.
🔐 Authentication Notes
The user must provide their own DHL API key.
The server does not store, log, or cache the API key.
📦 Example MCP Tool Invocation
{ "method": "tools.call", "params": { "name": "track-shipment", "arguments": { "trackingNumber": "0034043416XXXXXXX", "apiKey": "<YOUR_KEY>" } } }
