Paste the prompt below. It adds the server, opens the sign-in, and checks the connection by asking what’s on today.

05 · SELF-HOST
Your server,
your address.
The MCP server ships with FamilyWell. Self-host it and the sign-in, tokens and permissions work exactly like on familywell.co.
# your address https://<your host>/mcp # or set it explicitly in .env MCP_SERVER_URL=https://home.example.com/mcpRead the self-hosting guide
Does my assistant see everything?
Only the family you pick and the modules you allow. Another member’s private list stays invisible, just like in the app.
We turned on Calendar later. Why can’t Claude see it?
Permissions are fixed when you allow a connection. Reconnect to include it. Settings → Connected apps marks it as Not included.
Can it file a receipt or a car document?
In ChatGPT, attach it in the chat: PDF, photo or HEIC up to 12 MB. Claude creates the record and links you to upload the file.
Which apps work?
Anything that speaks MCP with OAuth: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and more.
Does it cost extra?
No. It’s part of every plan, and free when you self-host.
Your family, one message away.
