MCP Tools Reference
The CARTO MCP Server exposes a catalog of tools an agent can call to explore your data, render maps, and run analytical workflows. Tools fall into three categories, each with its own page in this reference.
Help the agent find the right data. List connections, browse and search tables, inspect column distributions, and locate saved maps.
list_connections, list_resources, search_resources, get_column_stats, list_maps
Render an interactive map directly inline in the chat. Ad-hoc visualizations or saved CARTO Builder maps.
view_map, load_builder_map
Run analytical workflows your organization has published as MCP tools, in sync or async mode.
Your published workflows, plus async_workflow_job_get_status_v1_0_0 and async_workflow_job_get_results_v1_0_0
Interactive tools render inline only in MCP clients that support MCP Apps: Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, and others. In clients that don't, the tools return a text confirmation describing what would have been rendered.
