Build maps and workflows, faster than ever

Ask for a map or workflow in plain language, and refine it turn by turn, no coding, no separate tool. The agent calls CARTO directly and the result takes shape in the conversation.

Serve your analysis on-demand to your team

Open up your analysis to anyone on your team. Ask ChatGPT a spatial question in plain language and get back a real map.

Answers you can trust

A chatbot writing a new query on every request gives a different answer each run. CARTO for Agents builds and runs approved, reusable and auditable workflows.

Ship it with Codex

Building a spatial app from scratch can mean backend setup, data wiring, and boilerplate before the real work starts. Pair Codex with the CARTO CLI and Agent Skills to scaffold a working CARTO + deck.gl app, map, or workflow from a single prompt, ready to run in your own environment.

Frequently asked questions

What does CARTO offer on top of ChatGPT's built-in mapping?

ChatGPT can sketch a quick chart or map from data pasted into the chat, but that's working with whatever fits in the conversation. CARTO connects ChatGPT to your actual data warehouse, so it can query billions of rows, run real spatial analysis (joins, buffers, isochrones, and 200+ other functions), and publish the result as a live, governed map your team keeps using, not a one-off chat visual.

Can ChatGPT access my data warehouse through CARTO?

Only what your CARTO permissions already allow. ChatGPT connects through CARTO's governed connections, so it's bound by your existing roles and row-level security, the same as any other CARTO user. Data is queried in place, never copied out or stored by CARTO or ChatGPT, and every action is logged like any other CARTO activity.

Does this work with ChatGPT or Codex?

Both. ChatGPT connects through the CARTO MCP Server; Codex can also use the CARTO CLI and Agent Skills.

Is this free to try?

Connecting the CARTO MCP Server is free to set up with a CARTO account (start your free 30-day trial here); request a demo to see it in action!
