Carto Import Export Data
Import geospatial files into the data warehouse via CARTO, export results back out, and prepare tilesets for fast map rendering.
Carto Render Inline Map
Render an ad-hoc interactive map inline in the chat from a deck.gl declarative spec via the CARTO MCP server's view_map tool. Use whenever the user asks to map, visualize, or show the geographic distribution of points, polygons, hexagons, quadbins, clusters, density (heatmaps), or raster — and the map is exploratory or throwaway, not meant to be saved as a permanent CARTO Builder map. Triggers on…
Carto Site Selection
Builds site selection and cannibalization analysis workflows in CARTO. Triggers when the user mentions site selection, cannibalization, cannibalizing, new store location, where to open, optimal location, facility placement, network impact, overlapping catchments, twin areas, similar locations, look-alike areas, find locations like my best, store overlap, revenue impact of new store, commercial ho…
Carto Routing Od Analysis
Builds routing and origin-destination analysis workflows in CARTO. Triggers when the user mentions routing, route calculation, travel time, travel distance, OD matrix, origin-destination, isoline, isochrone, isodistance, catchment area, reachable area, drive time polygon, walk time polygon, service area, accessibility analysis, travel time matrix, distance matrix, commute patterns, trip flow, OD…
Carto Develop App
Generate a working geospatial app powered by CARTO and deck.gl — basemap, layers (vector / H3 / quadbin / raster), widgets, filters, legend, inputs, optional chat-with-map agent, and the right auth strategy (public token, OAuth, SSO, or M2M).
Carto Arcgis Migration
End-to-end ArcGIS Portal / AGOL → CARTO migration. Triggers when the user wants to migrate ArcGIS content to CARTO, plan a migration, asks "what's in my Portal", names a Portal/AGOL URL, or asks to migrate the datasets / web maps / simple apps. Runs three phases — discover (enumerate items + write MIGRATION_MANIFEST.md), migrate-data (Hosted Feature Layers / Tables → CARTO tables), migrate-maps (…
Carto Trade Area Analysis
Builds trade area and catchment analysis workflows in CARTO. Triggers when the user mentions trade area, catchment area, isochrone, site selection, where to open, best location, billboard, OOH, audience targeting, drive time, walk time, coverage area, commercial hotspot, site scoring, location ranking, or wants to generate isochrones, score candidate locations, or identify the best sites for reta…
Carto Explore Datawarehouse
Discover what's in the connected warehouse — schemas, tables, columns, and CARTO named sources.
Carto Gwr
Builds Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) workflows in CARTO. Triggers when the user mentions GWR, geographically weighted regression, spatially varying relationships, local regression, local coefficients, spatial regression, "what drives X in different areas", "why do prices vary spatially", "local factors affecting Y", varying coefficients, coefficient maps, spatial non-stationarity, or w…
Carto Spatial Enrichment
Guides the user through spatial enrichment workflows — triggered by requests to enrich, add demographics, estimate population around locations, compute spatial features, sociodemographic analysis, "what's around" queries, buffer/isochrone + join patterns, or trade area enrichment.
Carto Find Spatial Data
Discover and subscribe to external spatial datasets via CARTO Data Observatory and partner catalogs.
Carto Manage Platform
Administer the CARTO org — users, roles, quotas, activity audit, and bulk resource operations.
Carto Preview Builder Map
Preview an existing saved CARTO Builder map inline in the chat via the CARTO MCP server's load_builder_map tool. Use whenever the user references a saved Builder map — by URL, by ID, or by name (resolved via list_maps first). Renders a lightweight read-only preview (layers, basemap, viewport, popups, legend). Widgets, SQL parameters, map description, and other Builder-only features are NOT includ…
Carto Create Builder Maps
Author, edit, publish, and validate CARTO Builder maps via the `carto maps` CLI. Use when the user wants to create a map from a natural-language request, edit an existing map (datasets, layers, styling, privacy, popups, widgets, SQL parameters), duplicate one, upload custom marker icons, or wire up an AI agent on a map. Covers the full `carto maps` subcommand surface — `list`, `get`, `create`, `u…
Carto Hotspot Analysis
Builds Getis-Ord Gi* hotspot analysis workflows in CARTO. Triggers when the user mentions hotspots, coldspots, spatial clusters, Getis-Ord, Gi*, cluster detection, concentration areas, "where do X cluster", spacetime hotspot, temporal clusters, time-varying patterns, hotspot trends, emerging hotspots, Mann-Kendall, or wants to find statistically significant spatial or spatiotemporal patterns in p…
Carto Basics
Start here for first-time CARTO use — install the CLI, authenticate, switch profiles, understand JSON output and async job patterns. Also orients on the two parallel access paths into the CARTO platform (CLI for authoring/scripting, MCP server for inline interactions in chat hosts) and which skills cover each.
Carto Connect Datawarehouse
Choose and configure the data warehouse engine connection for CARTO (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Postgres, Databricks, Oracle).
Carto Geocoding
Builds geocoding workflows in CARTO that convert street addresses or place names into geographic coordinates. Triggers when the user mentions geocoding, address to coordinates, address resolution, geolocate addresses, "add geometry from addresses", lat/lon from address, place name to point, address matching, forward geocoding, converting addresses to points, or has tabular data with address colum…
Carto Territory Planning
Builds territory planning workflows in CARTO combining territory balancing and location allocation. Triggers when the user mentions territory balancing, territory planning, sales territories, service zones, workload distribution, balanced territories, location allocation, facility placement, optimal locations, maximize coverage, minimize cost, minimize travel distance, depot placement, hub placem…
Carto Query Datawarehouse
Write spatial SQL against the connected warehouse — dialect-specific guidance, performance defaults, and CARTO's query/job execution model.
Carto Spatial Autocorrelation
