Shipment Tracker FAQs

Question 1

How does Shipment Tracker bypass CAPTCHA?

Accepted Answer

The tool uses Playwright to launch a headless Chromium browser. This browser navigates to the DB Schenker tracking page, allowing the browser's built-in capabilities to handle CAPTCHA resolution automatically. It then intercepts the underlying API responses directly, avoiding screen scraping.

Question 2

Are there any known limitations?

Accepted Answer

Current limitations include the absence of sender/receiver names (only location data is available), a latency of 2-3 seconds per call due to launching a new browser instance, and its current reliance on stdio transport as a local process.

Question 3

How can I integrate Shipment Tracker with my systems?

Accepted Answer

This tool implements the standard MCP protocol, ensuring compatibility with any MCP-enabled client, such as Claude Desktop. You can configure it as a local MCP server by specifying its command and arguments in your client's configuration.

Question 4

Question 5

What kind of shipment data does it provide?
