Install the Cartographer plugin to work on your story maps in ChatGPT. It connects to the MCP server with your Cartographer account and adds:
- Bundled skills for mapping journeys, slicing MVPs, splitting stories, turning interviews and feedback into maps, and reviewing a board.
- Native apps in ChatGPT that show your board inline, so you can see the map change as you talk.
- Every Cartographer tool for projects, cards, milestones, personas, customers and comments.
You can also connect ChatGPT through Developer Mode, or add Cartographer to the Codex CLI.
ChatGPT plugin
The quickest way to use Cartographer in ChatGPT. The plugin bundles the story mapping skills, so ChatGPT already knows how to map journeys, slice releases and review a board. Your maps open as interactive apps right inside the chat.
Install ChatGPT PluginCodex
Add Cartographer as a remote MCP server so Codex can read the map and keep cards in sync with what you're building.
Run the CLI command
Add Cartographer as a remote MCP server:
codex mcp add cartographer --url https://cartographer.studio/mcpAuthorize
On first connection, Codex opens your browser for OAuth authorization. Once connected, you can ask Codex to reference your story map while coding.
Next steps
Once connected, ask ChatGPT or Codex to list your spaces and open a project. The Using AI guides show what a good first prompt looks like, and the MCP server page lists every tool they can call.
