Integrate CARTO with Claude, Cursor, Chatbots & AI Agents MCP Server
GDPR Free for SubscribersCompatible with every major AI agent and IDE
GeminiCalculate isoline on CARTO
The range parameter is in seconds for time-based isolines. Returns a GeoJSON polygon representing the reachable area. Use for service area analysis, store catchment zones, and logistics planning. Generate travel-time or travel-distance isoline polygons from a center point using the CARTO LDS Isolines API, producing reachability contours showing areas accessible within a specified time or distance threshold
Calculate route on CARTO
Returns the route as GeoJSON with total distance (meters) and duration (seconds). Consumes LDS routing credits. Calculate the optimal driving route between two points using the CARTO LDS Routing API, returning distance, duration, and route geometry suitable for visualization on CARTO maps
Create async sql job on CARTO
"}`. Returns a job_id that can be polled for completion status. Use for ETL operations, materialized view refreshes, and heavy geospatial computations. The job runs in your data warehouse and results are stored there. Submit a long-running SQL query as an asynchronous batch job via the CARTO SQL Job API, suitable for heavy spatial analytics, large table transformations, and complex multi-join operations that exceed the 60-second synchronous timeout
Execute sql query on CARTO
carto.com/api/v2/sql?q=`. The query runs synchronously with a 1-minute timeout. Use for quick analytical queries, spatial joins, and data exploration. For long-running queries exceeding 60 seconds, use the async job endpoint instead. Supports PostGIS/BigQuery spatial functions natively. Execute an arbitrary SQL query against your CARTO data warehouse connection using the SQL API v2, returning results as JSON rows directly from BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or PostgreSQL
Geocode address on CARTO
Returns latitude, longitude, and formatted address. Consumes LDS geocoding credits from your CARTO plan. Use sparingly for individual lookups; for bulk operations use the batch endpoint instead. Forward-geocode a single address string into geographic coordinates using the CARTO Location Data Services (LDS) geocoding endpoint, powered by TomTom or HERE depending on your CARTO plan configuration
Geocode batch addresses on CARTO
Designed for bulk processing of customer lists, store locators, and CRM datasets. Consumes LDS credits per address. Returns an array of geocoded results with match quality indicators. Batch-geocode multiple addresses in a single request using the CARTO LDS batch geocoding API, efficiently converting large address lists into coordinates without making individual API calls per address
Get import status on CARTO
Poll periodically until state becomes "complete" or "failure". On success, the response includes the table_name of the newly created dataset in your warehouse. Check the status of a previously initiated CARTO data import job, returning progress percentage, current state (uploading, importing, complete, failure), and any error details if the import encountered issues
Import external file on CARTO
"}`. Supports CSV, GeoJSON, Shapefile (zipped), KML, GPX, and Excel files. Returns an import_id for status tracking. The file is downloaded, parsed, and loaded into your connected data warehouse. Import an external data file (CSV, GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML) into your CARTO data warehouse by providing a publicly accessible URL, creating a new managed table that can be used for spatial analysis and visualization
List map datasets on CARTO
Returns an array of dataset/visualization objects. Use to discover available data layers, check dataset freshness, and audit organization assets. List all visualization datasets (maps and tables) available in your CARTO organization, returning metadata including creation dates, privacy settings, table names, and row counts
Poll async job status on CARTO
Poll periodically (every 5-10 seconds) until status changes to "done" or "failed". The response includes created_at, updated_at, and the original query for audit purposes. Check the execution status of a previously submitted CARTO async SQL job, returning the current state (pending, running, done, failed) and any error messages if the job encountered issues
Security & Code Integrity Audit
Every tool in the CARTO MCP Server is continuously audited by the Vinkius Security Engine. We guarantee zero-trust payload isolation, strict data boundaries, and deterministic execution for enterprise-grade AI agents.
How Vinkius protects your data
Can I audit what my AI agents are doing with this integration?
Yes, Vinkius provides an immutable, HMAC-chained audit log. Every tool execution, payload, and response is tracked in real-time on your dashboard, giving you complete visibility into your agent's actions.
Am I able to geocode raw customer addresses in bulk through the agent?
Definitely. Give your agent a list of unstructured addresses and it will fire the bulk geocode_batch_addresses tool. CARTO’s native LDS engine (powered by TomTom/HERE) returns the validated geo-coordinates for each row, avoiding manual CSV matching.
How does the AI access my passwords and credentials?
It simply doesn't. On Vinkius, your passwords, API keys, and login details are kept in a secure vault. The AI (like ChatGPT or Claude) merely "asks" Vinkius to perform the task. Vinkius opens the door, does the work, and hands the result back to the AI. Your credentials are never seen, read, or learned by the artificial intelligence.
Does the AI train on my tools or API data?
No. Vinkius enforces a strict Zero-Retention policy. Your data simply passes through our secure servers to complete the requested action and is instantly forgotten. Nothing you do here is ever stored, logged, or used to train any artificial intelligence.
CARTO Capabilities for AI Assistants
Connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) with the CARTO MCP server to manage operations across the following domains.
spatial analytics & AI Execution
Use the CARTO MCP to manage spatial analytics requests. Models like Claude Code utilize this connection to perform reliable databases updates.
Intelligent gis Management
The CARTO integration exposes LLM-friendly schemas for gis. Tools like Cursor can map natural language directly into executable databases commands.
