AI-generated overview

Partially updates an existing investor record in the Carta CRM by ID or name.

What it does
Resolves an investor record in the Carta CRM, either from a supplied investor ID or by searching on a name, and then applies a partial update. Only the fields the user explicitly provides are changed, such as the investor firm name or custom field values like website, location, industry, about and tags. It can also fetch the custom field schema to find valid field IDs, and it reports a summary of what changed or an error message.
When to use it
Use it when someone wants to edit an existing investor record in the Carta CRM, for example to change an investor name, website or other custom fields, or to add a tag. It also handles applying the same change across several investors.
Requirements
Requires access to the Carta CRM through the mcpcartacrm_call_tool MCP tool, including the crm:search_investors, crm:get_investor_custom_fields and crm:update_investor operations. No scripts are shipped; it is instructions only.

Overview

Partially update an existing investor. Only fields provided are modified — this is a partial update, not a replacement. First resolve the investor ID, collect what to change, then call the update tool.

Step 1 — Resolve the investor ID

If the user provided an investor ID directly, use it and skip to Step 3.

If only a name or description was given, search first:

crm_call_tool({ "name": "crm:search_investors", "arguments": { query: "<name>", limit: 10 } })

If multiple investors match, present the list and ask the user to confirm which one to update (show name and ID for each).

Step 2 — Collect what to update

Ask the user what they want to change:

  • name — investor firm name
  • fields — custom field values keyed by field ID (e.g. website, location, industry, about, tags)

If the user wants to update custom fields but isn't sure of field IDs, fetch the schema first:

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

If the user has already specified what to change in their message, extract it directly without re-asking.

Important: Only include fields that are explicitly being changed. Omit everything else.

Step 3 — Update the investor

Call:

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

Omit name if it is not being changed. Omit fields if no custom fields are changing. Only include the specific keys within fields that are being updated.

Step 4 — Report result

On success, respond with a summary of what changed:

"Investor {name} updated (ID: {id}). Changed: [list of changed fields]"

On error, show the error message and suggest:

  • Verify the investor ID is correct — run /search-investors to find it
  • Check that custom field IDs are valid

Updating multiple investors

If the user wants to apply the same change to multiple investors, repeat Steps 1 and 3–4 for each. Summarize at the end:

"Updated N investors: [list of names]"

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).
