### Connect it

Claude Code:

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http carto 'https://{region}.api.carto.com/mcp/{account_id}'
```

- Add to Cursor: <cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=carto&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3tyZWdpb259LmFwaS5jYXJ0by5jb20vbWNwL3thY2NvdW50X2lkfSJ9>
- Add to VS Code: <vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22carto%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2F%7Bregion%7D.api.carto.com%2Fmcp%2F%7Baccount_id%7D%22%7D>
- Claude.ai and Claude Desktop: Customize, Connectors, "+", Add custom connector, then paste https://{region}.api.carto.com/mcp/{account_id}
- ChatGPT: Settings, Apps, Advanced settings, turn on Developer mode, Create, then paste https://{region}.api.carto.com/mcp/{account_id} (this usually works only with servers that use self-serve sign-in or none)
