Overview

Help the user create one or more contact records in the Carta CRM using the create_contact MCP tool. Only name is required — collect that and any other details the user has already provided, then call the tool. Do not block on optional fields.

Step 1 — Collect contact information

Only name is required. Extract everything the user has already provided in their message without re-asking. If name is missing, ask for it once.

Fields you can collect:

  • name (required) — full name, or derived from firstName + lastName
  • firstName, lastName, middleName (optional)
  • emailDetail — primary email; emailDetailSecond/Third/Fourth for additional emails
  • phone — primary phone; businessPhone/thirdPhone/fourthPhone for additional numbers
  • title — job title
  • headline — short bio or tagline
  • location — work location: city, state, country
  • socialLinks — linkedinUrl, twitterUrl, githubUrl, facebookUrl
  • jobs — work experience: array of {companyName, title, startedOn, endedOn}
  • tags — array of string tags
  • notes — free-text notes
  • listId — if provided, adds the contact to that list

If the user wants to populate custom fields, fetch the schema first:

crm_call_tool({ "name": "crm:get_contact_custom_fields", "arguments": {} })

Never ask for listId unless the user brings it up.

Step 2 — Create the contact

Call:

crm_call_tool({  "name": "crm:create_contact",  "arguments": {    name: "<contact name>",    firstName: "<first>",    lastName: "<last>",    emailDetail: "<email>",    phone: "<phone>",    title: "<title>",    tags: ["<tag1>"],    fields: { "<field_id>": "<value>" }  }})

Include only the fields the user provided. Omit everything else.

Step 3 — Report result

On success, respond with:

"Contact {name} saved successfully (ID: {id})."

On error, show the error message and suggest:

  • Check that name is provided and non-empty
  • Verify the listId exists if one was provided

Adding multiple contacts

If the user wants to add multiple contacts, repeat Steps 1–3 for each one, then summarize:

"Created N contacts: [list of names with IDs]"

Carta Fund Admin Requests

carta

Send work to your Carta Fund Admin team and track it. Opens a request the team reads, acts on, and replies to — the off-ramp for anything no other Carta skill or command can do. TRIGGER: "ask Carta to", "have Carta do", "send this to my fund admin", "ask my fund admin team", "can Carta do this for me", "check on my request", "did Carta reply", "what requests do I have open", "reply to Carta", "follow up on my request", plus ANY action request (create/change/send/restate/reconcile/split/fix) that no other skill or Carta command covers. NOT FOR: reporting a bug or feature request about this plugin (call fa:create:feedback directly); questions answerable from Carta data (use carta-explore-data); capital call reminders to LPs (that is a Carta command, not a Fund Admin request).
