CARTO is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Query your data warehouses, run workflows, and render maps from your CARTO workspace. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use CARTO as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://{region}.api.carto.com/mcp/{account_id} and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.0.1.
On mcp.site, CARTO sits in the Development category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
