Business intelligence queries over private data holdings
Overview
The Carbon Arc app connects ChatGPT to the company's business intelligence platform, where questions in ordinary language are resolved against private datasets and returned as structured tables.
Four functions are listed in the record: asking a data question and getting a table back, searching by company, location, or metric name to see what is covered, examining trends across time periods and geographies, and following relationships between entities in the data.
One example is a request for Walmart card spend during 2024, which indicates the sort of consumer transaction data available. Another asks the app to list its agent personas.

Answers arrive as structured tables rather than as narrative summaries.
Availability
Carbon Arc ships this on both marketplaces: Carbon Arc is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
Carbon Arc publishes 10 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 45% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one sits 2 tools below its bucket's median, 110th of 198.
It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory.
Carbon Arc publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
https://mcp.carbonarc.ai/ Carbon Arc is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
The Carbon Arc MCP Server is a data infrastructure layer that converts natural language questions into real-world signals for decision-making by providing access to proprietary data. Core Functions: 1. Ask questions like "Show me Walmart's 2025 credit card spend" and get structured data tables 2. Search for companies, locations, and metrics by name based on available data 3. Analyze trends across different time periods and geographic regions 4. Explore relationships between entities and available data

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Carbon Arc's public marketplace listings as they stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Carbon Arc, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
