TableStudio for Raycast

Search your TableStudio connections, tables and views from Raycast and open any of them straight in the app — and start or stop your local database servers without leaving Raycast.

Requires TableStudio for Mac.

Setup

1. In TableStudio: Settings → Search & Launchers.
2. Turn on Find your databases from outside the app.
3. Turn on Raycast.
4. Click Connect Raycast. That's it — the button opens the Search Databases command with everything filled in, and you land on your results.

Prefer to set it up by hand? TableStudio's settings has a Set it up by hand instead section with the token and port; paste them into this extension's preferences.

Commands

• Search Databases — your connections, tables and views in one list. Tables are searchable by their column names too, so stripe_id finds the table that has that column. What you open most often rises to the top of its section (Reset Ranking in the action panel puts an item back).
  • ↵ opens the item in TableStudio; ⌘⇧C copies its tablestudio:// deep link.
  • On a connection, ↵ drills into just that connection's tables and ⌘↵ opens it in TableStudio.
  • The dropdown on the right of the search bar narrows the list to one kind. Your choice is remembered.
• Manage Local Databases — the servers TableStudio runs on this Mac, with their live status. ↵ starts a stopped one or stops a running one. Only shows servers if you've turned on Local databases under What to include in TableStudio's settings.

The dropdown lists only the kinds TableStudio is publishing, which follows the What to include toggles in its settings.

Privacy

TableStudio serves your list from http://127.0.0.1:<port>/launcher-catalog, protected by a token. Nothing leaves your Mac, and TableStudio writes nothing to disk for it.

The token is kept in the extension's local storage, which lives in Raycast's encrypted store.

Offline access

The list is only available while TableStudio is running. The Offline Access preference (on by default) keeps the last copy inside Raycast so search still works when the app is closed — those results are marked offline copy, and opening one launches TableStudio and takes you there. Turn it off to keep nothing at rest; the stored copy is deleted the moment you do.

Also: MCP

Separately from this extension, TableStudio ships a local MCP server that Raycast AI can call directly (list_tables, execute_query, …). Set it up from Settings → MCP Server, pick the Raycast preset, and use the URL and header it shows in Raycast's Manage MCP Servers → Install New Server.
