CheckedCare MCP

An official MCP server providing read-only access to verbatim state child care licensing and inspection records. It allows agents to search for facilities by name, city, or license number, and retrieve detailed facility records including license status, inspection history, and cited deficiencies directly from government sources.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Call find_facility first to identify the facility. When more than one result could be the facility the user means, ask the user which one before calling get_facility_record. When the user gives a license number, get_facility_record can be called with it directly. These tools cover licensed child care facilities in the states listed on checkedcare.com, not individual people.

Tools

find_facility — Find a child care facility
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Use this when the user names a child care center, preschool or family child care home (by name, license number, or name and city) in a covered US state and wants its official state licensing or inspection record. Returns up to 10 matching facilities with street, ZIP and license number so the right one can be confirmed, plus a record_key for get_facility_record. Do not use it for general child care advice, to rank or recommend facilities, or for information about individual people.

get_facility_record — Get a facility's official record
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Use this when one specific facility is identified (a record_key slug from find_facility, or a license number the user gave) and the user wants its license status, published inspection counts or the agency's inspection findings. Returns the record with verbatim findings, the status-as-of date, the agency's official record link and the CheckedCare page URL. Do not use it to grade, rank or compare facilities, or to look up staff, children or any other individual.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http checkedcare-mcp https://checkedcare.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add checkedcare-mcp --url https://checkedcare.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable checkedcare-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "checkedcare-mcp": {
      "url": "https://checkedcare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "checkedcare-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://checkedcare.com/mcp",

    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start checkedcare-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "checkedcare-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://checkedcare.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http checkedcare-mcp https://checkedcare.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
