PlateQuery MCP — US License Plate & Vehicle Information
License plate lookup for AI agents, built on PlateQuery — the license plate lookup site people use to notify vehicle owners, report bad driving, or flag illegal parking. This Model Context Protocol server lets an agent read those same messages for any U.S. license plate, plus public ALPR (automated license plate reader) sighting history from the Flock Safety camera network, by state or region.

Tools
A plate marked private by its owner returns zeroed messages/mentions to everyone except that owner. Free plan grants a starting credit balance on signup; additional credits are purchased in bulk packages — see api-settings for current pricing. Paid tools are rate-limited per account; call check_credits as often as you like to check balance without spending a credit.
Posting messages
postplatemessage is free but deliberately conservative, since it's the only tool that writes anything:
plate.
- Requires a PlateQuery account with a confirmed email.
- Rate-limited: 2 posts/minute, 10 posts/day, 3 posts/day about the same
moderation queue a website submission does -- it's invisible (and the plate's followers aren't notified) until a human moderator approves it.
- Not published immediately. Every post goes into the same
location are all optional free text -- location should be an approximate description (e.g. "Hwy 37 near Los Altos, CA" or a cross-street), never precise GPS coordinates.

Authentication
The server is OAuth 2.1 only — no manual API keys. It supports PKCE and dynamic client registration (DCR), so a compliant MCP client (Claude, or any client following the MCP authorization spec) can connect by:
https://platequery.com as the authorization server (RFC 9728 protected resource metadata).
- Pointing at https://api.platequery.com/mcp.
- Following the WWW-Authenticate challenge to discover
Authorization Code + PKCE flow.
- Registering itself dynamically (RFC 7591) and running the standard
- Signing in with (or creating) a PlateQuery account when prompted.
No client secret or pre-issued API key is needed — sign-in happens in the browser the first time an agent connects.
