get_channel
Return metadata and canonical links for one public Sandwich channel by slug.

Common questions

Is Sandwich Public Care Directory safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 4 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

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.

🌐 Marketing site: joinsandwich.com Family app: app.joinsandwich.com 🤖 Agent integration docs: app.joinsandwich.com/agents 📦 MCP Registry: com.joinsandwich/directory · com.joinsandwich/care-circle

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.

`com.joinsandwich/directory` — public, no auth

Read-only research tools for the 840+ vetted resources and the cost calculator. Use this when a user asks about Medicare, Medicaid, nursing-home costs, or any eldercare planning topic.

Endpoint: https://www.joinsandwich.com/api/mcp Auth: none

Add it to Cursor, Claude or any Streamable HTTP client:

{ "mcpServers": { "sandwich": { "url": "https://www.joinsandwich.com/api/mcp" } } }

Tool	What it returns
`search_care_resources`	Search 840+ channels, guides, reports, glossary terms.
`get_channel`	Fetch a specific resource collection by slug.
`calculate_long_term_care_cost`	Project total cost by U.S. state, care type, duration, inflation.

`com.joinsandwich/care-circle` — authenticated, per-user

Family workspace integration. Read CareEvents (appointments, meds, visits, notes), list loved ones, inspect tenant context. HIPAA in scope — Bearer API key required, per-key rate-limited, append-only audit log.

Endpoint: https://app.joinsandwich.com/api/mcp Auth: Bearer key from app.joinsandwich.com/settings/mcp-keys, or full OAuth 2.1 + PKCE at app.joinsandwich.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server.

Tool	What it returns
`ping`	Liveness + identity confirmation.
`get_user_profile`	Caller's uid, email, workspace.
`list_loved_ones`	Care recipients on the caller's workspace.
`list_care_events`	Recent care events from Sandwich Pipe.
