Cartograph MCP Server
Cartograph is task-shaped repo context for coding agents. It ships a CLI, an MCP server, user-scope install adapters for Claude Code and OpenClaw, and packaged agent assets for documentation-heavy workflows. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Cartograph
Claude Code
claude mcp add anthony-maio-cartograph -- npx -y @anthony-maio/cartograph Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"anthony-maio-cartograph": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@anthony-maio/cartograph"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key
