AI-generated overview

What it does
Guides the user through adding one or more investor records to the Carta CRM. It optionally reads the tenant's configured investor custom fields, collects the required investor name and any optional field values, then calls the create_investor MCP tool. It reports the created record's name and ID, or shows the error and troubleshooting hints on failure.
When to use it
Use when the user asks to add an investor, create an investor record, or save VC fund data into the Carta CRM. Also suited to adding several investors in one session and summarizing the results.
Requirements
Requires the Carta CRM MCP server and access to its crm_call_tool, including the create_investor tool and optionally get_investor_custom_fields. No scripts are shipped; instructions only.

Overview

Help the user create one or more investor records in the Carta CRM using the create_investor MCP tool. Collect investor details conversationally, validate required fields, then call the tool.

Step 1 — Discover available custom fields (optional but recommended)

Call the custom fields tool to see what fields the tenant has configured:

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

Use the returned field IDs and labels as hints when collecting investor data. If the call fails, proceed without it — custom fields are optional.

Step 2 — Collect investor information

Ask the user for:

  • Name (required) — the investor firm name (e.g. "Sequoia Capital", "a16z")
  • Custom fields (optional) — any fields returned in Step 1 (e.g. website, location, industry, about, tags)

If the user has already provided details in their message, extract them directly without re-asking.

Step 3 — Create the investor

Call:

crm_call_tool({  "name": "crm:create_investor",  "arguments": {    name: "<investor name>",    fields: {      "<field_id>": "<value>"    }  }})

Omit fields entirely if no custom field data was provided.

Step 4 — Report result

On success, respond with:

"Investor {name} created successfully (ID: {id})."

On error, show the error message and suggest:

  • Check that name is provided and non-empty
  • Verify custom field IDs match the keys returned by get_investor_custom_fields

Adding multiple investors

If the user wants to add multiple investors at once, repeat Steps 2–4 for each one. After all are done, summarize:

"Created N investors: [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).
