## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "sandwich-care-circle": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","sandwich-care-circle-2"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & 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](https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2024/09/29/the-sandwich-generation/)).
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](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io).
Any MCP-capable agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, custom
agents — can call them.

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

calculator. Use this when a user asks about Medicare, Medicaid,
