MCP Support for Raycast

I would love to see MCP support for Raycast ( Raycast Store: Model Context Protocol Registry ) so that I can utilize different AI models to quickly interact with my database.

MCP support is planned for future releases but Raycast is just one of the apps that could use this. In the meantime AppleScript-based Raycast commands might be an alternative in many cases and are faster & more reliable.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I’m not a developer and have no idea how to create AppleScript-based commands :frowning:

Did you manually edit the config file to accomplish this?

No, all I’ve done is shown in the screenshot. Just add mcp sever, everything is OK.

I am super pleased to have DEVONthink accessible via Raycast in a more extensible way than before. Thanks for showing how to set it up @ulmulm. I decided to create a quick start guide for the fun of it.

Configuring Your DEVONthink MCP Server with Raycast

Assuming you have installed DEVONthink’s MCP server (using DEVONthink’s documentation, perhaps), and you have the server actively running:

  1. Navigate to Raycast Settings > MCP > MCP Servers > 'Install Server'. Or, simply use command 'Install MCP Server'.

  1. Fill in the required fields as below, and then ‘Install MCP Server’. You can use any name.

That’s it! Now just use your command. Mine is called ‘Ask DEVONthink MCP’.

Optional steps:

  • Pin the command as a favourite
  • Enable the command as a fallback for your searches
  • Give the command an alias and/or keyboard shortcut

How does this work if configured for “Dynamic OAuth”? DT4 MCP does not suppot OAuth (yet).

And why are you using http instead of stdio ?

In any case, I haven’t had any issues using the Dynamic OAuth Type config. I avoided the static option assuming it would require credentials. :sweat_smile:

HTTP was the most intuitive to set-up.

Is it ignoring security entirely in that case? There is no DT4 callback URL for an Oauth page
