MCP and discovery

Agent Access and MCP for Sandwich

Connect agents to Sandwich's public care directory MCP and the authenticated Care Circle MCP for user-approved private care data.

Two agent surfaces

The public endpoint is for read-only discovery of Sandwich guides, channels, glossary terms, reports, and cost-of-care data. It does not require a key.

The private endpoint is for a signed-in family caregiver who wants Claude, Cursor, or another MCP-capable client to access their own Sandwich care-circle data. It requires a user-issued API key.

Public directory MCP

Endpoint: https://www.joinsandwich.com/api/mcp

  • search_care_resources searches public resources.
  • get_channel returns canonical channel metadata.
  • calculate_long_term_care_cost estimates care costs by state and care type.
