Prerequisites

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Get your relay URL and download bridge.js

    Open the studio → SettingsMCP Relay Bridge → copy URL → click Connect. Then:

    curl -O https://agentmcp.studio/bridge.js && npm install ws
  2. Open Raycast Settings → Extensions → AI → MCP

    In Raycast: ⌘,ExtensionsAI → scroll to Model Context Protocol → click Add MCP Server.

  3. Add the server configuration

    {
      "agent-mcp-studio": {
        "command": "node",
        "args": [
          "/Users/you/mcp/bridge.js",
          "wss://agentmcp.studio/api/relay/YOUR-UUID"
        ]
      }
    }

    Save. Raycast will launch bridge.js when the MCP extension is used.

  4. Invoke tools from Raycast AI

    Open Raycast (⌥Space), type AI, and start a conversation. Ask Raycast to use one of your tools: "Use my fetch_webpage tool to check the status of example.com." Raycast AI will call bridge.js and relay the tool call to your browser.

macOS-only
