# Connect Pomeroy to Raycast

> Pomeroy copies the three values Raycast asks for. Paste them into Raycast's Install MCP Server form. Then Raycast can reach Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Contacts, Messages, Maps, Weather and Shortcuts on your Mac, each app behind its own switch.

**Raycast** is the launcher with AI built in, and it works with Pomeroy. Pomeroy
writes the configuration and you paste it in. Raycast can then read the apps you
switched on, and no others.

<Info>
  **What Set up does.** Raycast has no configuration file Pomeroy can write and
  no install link Raycast documents, so Pomeroy puts the three values on your
  clipboard and tells you where they go.

## Set up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Pomeroy and switch on your apps">
    [Download Pomeroy](https://pomeroy.app/download), drag it into Applications
    and open it. Switch on the apps you want Raycast to reach. Everything starts
    off, and macOS asks you to approve each app as you switch it on. [The full
    walkthrough](/docs/getting-started/installation).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install Raycast, if you have not">
    Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install
    [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) first if it is not there. Returning to
    Pomeroy's window re-checks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Press Set up">
    In Pomeroy's **Assistants** pane, find Raycast and press **Set up**. It is
    safe to press any number of times. It writes the same thing every time, and
    it never disturbs another server already there.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick it up">
    **No restart needed.** Raycast picks the server up on its own.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask something">
    In Raycast, ask what is on your calendar today. The answer comes from your
    Mac.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The configuration

**Set up** puts this on your clipboard. It is here so you can see what Pomeroy
adds, check it by hand, or set up a second Mac without opening the panel.

Goes in **Raycast › Install MCP Server**:

```text theme={null}
Name: Pomeroy
Transport: Standard Input/Output
Command: /Applications/Pomeroy.app/Contents/MacOS/pomeroy-mcp
```

The command is a single absolute path with no arguments, and it lives inside
Pomeroy's app bundle, so an update never changes it. [What the pipe
is](/docs/configuration/stdio).

## Over the local endpoint

Raycast can also reach Pomeroy over the [HTTP
endpoint](/docs/configuration/http-endpoint) instead of the pipe. Use it only for a
copy running somewhere that cannot start a program on this Mac, such as a
container or a remote workspace. Switch the local address on in Pomeroy's
**Connections** pane first.

Goes in **Raycast › Install MCP Server**:

```text theme={null}
Name: Pomeroy
Transport: HTTP
URL: http://127.0.0.1:13579/mcp
HTTP Headers — key: Authorization
HTTP Headers — value: Bearer <the key Pomeroy generates>
```

Pomeroy writes the real token in place of the placeholder when it can reach this
assistant's settings. Otherwise you can read the token under **Connections**.

## How to check it worked

In Raycast, open **Install MCP Server**, fill in Name, Transport and Command
with the copied values, and save. The server then shows in Raycast's MCP server
list, and Raycast AI can use its tools.

If the tools are missing, the cause is almost always that the assistant has not
re-read its server list.
[Troubleshooting](/docs/getting-started/troubleshooting#an-assistant-cannot-see-the-tools).

## What it can reach

Only the apps you switched on, and only through the tools Pomeroy publishes.
Raycast cannot send mail, send a message, delete anything or edit a contact,
because no tool does those things.
