Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Sandwich Public Care Directory in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.joinsandwich%2Fdirectory/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Sandwich

The platform for the sandwich generation — caring for aging parents while raising kids.

Sandwich helps families coordinate eldercare, organize what their parents need, and pay for it without burning out. We also expose our care directory and family workspace as agent-callable tools so AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT can answer real questions about Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and the cost of care in any U.S. state.

What is the sandwich generation?

Adults caring for an aging parent and raising children at the same time. Roughly 1 in 4 Americans aged 40–59 are in this position (Pew, 2024). Sandwich is built around the 40-70 rule: when you turn 40 or your parents turn 70, it's time to start the conversation about Medicare, power of attorney, advance directives, and long-term-care plans.

We cover:

  • Legal — power of attorney, advance directives, guardianship, estate planning
  • Financial — Medicare and Medicaid, long-term care insurance, the 5-year Medicaid look-back, IRMAA, RMDs
  • Healthcare — home care, adult day, assisted living, memory care, nursing home, hospice
  • Cost projections — state-by-state, 1–30 year horizons, custom inflation assumptions, sourced from the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey
  • Family logistics — shared calendars, medication tracking, caregiver coordination, secure messaging

For AI agents and developers

Sandwich exposes two MCP servers registered with the official Model Context Protocol Registry. Any MCP-capable agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, custom agents — can call them.
