Plate Recognizer for AI agents
Plate Recognizer offers automatic license plate recognition for processing images and video to detect vehicle plates. Security and parking operators use it to identify vehicles automatically. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

How Plate Recognizer connects.
Users add their Plate Recognizer api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
The same Plate Recognizer connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
- AUTH
- API key
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan

Plate Recognizer and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Plate Recognizer with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Plate Recognizer to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Plate Recognizer actions you allow.
How do users connect Plate Recognizer?
Users add their Plate Recognizer api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
Which Plate Recognizer actions can my agent take?
2 in total: 1 read, 1 write and 0 destructive, such as “snapshot Get Statistics”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in Plate Recognizer?
Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Plate Recognizer policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.
Can my own backend call Plate Recognizer too?
Yes. The same Plate Recognizer connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Plate Recognizer into your agent.
Your users connect Plate Recognizer once, under your brand. Your agent gets 2 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
