MCP Raycast Server

The MCP Raycast Server bridges Raycast's extension platform with the Model Context Protocol. Depending on the implementation it either exposes installed Raycast commands as MCP tools, or lets a running MCP server appear inside Raycast's AI panel as native commands callable with a hotkey.

Frequently asked questions

Is this server official?

No — it is a community project. Raycast itself ships a built-in AI panel but not a formal MCP server; community implementations fill the gap.

Do I need Raycast Pro?

Some integrations rely on Raycast's AI features which require Pro. The command listing and snippet APIs generally work on the free tier.

Can I use this on Windows?

No — Raycast is macOS-only. There is no equivalent MCP bridge for PowerToys or similar launchers.
