carto-preview-builder-map
carto-preview-builder-map
Renders a lightweight inline preview of an existing saved CARTO Builder map via the CARTO MCP server's load_builder_map tool. The user references the map (by URL, ID, or name); the agent locates it and loads it inline.
Tool contract. This skill consumes the load_builder_map and list_maps tools exposed by the CARTO MCP server. The tools' input shapes and access-control rules (the user must own, be shared on, or have public access to the map) are documented in the tool's own MCP description — read it via the MCP host's tool-inspector or by calling tools/list. This skill stays focused on routing, name → ID resolution, and setting expectations on the lightweight preview; it does NOT duplicate the tool's spec.
This skill assumes the CARTO MCP server is attached (the load_builder_map and list_maps tools are in your tool list) AND the host supports MCP Apps (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT). If either is missing, see "Step 1 — detect what's available" below.
Step 1 — detect what's available
| Check | How |
|---|---|
load_builder_map and list_maps are callable |
Both tool names appear in your tool list. |
| Host renders MCP Apps | Hosts that DO: Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT. Hosts that DON'T (Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, plain MCP Inspector, current MCPJam) execute the tool but only show a text confirmation — no map widget. |
