Use the language and embedding models running in LM Studio directly from Raycast. Chat, transform selected text, manage models, search your own notes, and let Raycast AI delegate a request to a private local model.

http://localhost:1234, or enter your server address in the extension preferences.Create and resume locally saved conversations. The transcript-first chat keeps message content prominent and moves model/performance metadata into Message Details. It supports streamed answers, separate reasoning, screenshots and images for vision-capable models, per-conversation generation settings, LM Studio MCP plugins, branching, regeneration, exports, and generation statistics.
Send a one-off request using typed text, selected text, clipboard content, screenshots, or images. Structured mode accepts a JSON Schema and validates the model's completed response. Assign this command a hotkey in Raycast Settings → Extensions → LM Studio for instant access from any app.
For image questions, use a vision-capable model and choose Send Screenshot or Image… in Chat, or add the file in Ask LM Studio. JPEG, PNG, and WebP files are supported, up to four files and 10 MB each.
Rewrite, summarize, correct grammar, explain code, translate, or apply a saved custom prompt. Results can be copied or pasted back into the previously focused application.
Inspect downloaded models and loaded instances, load or unload a model, and start a download using an LM Studio catalog identifier or exact Hugging Face URL. Use Set as Default Chat Model on a language model to make it the default for new chats, one-shot questions, text transformations, and the Raycast AI ask tool; existing conversations keep their own model setting.
Explicitly select local folders containing Markdown or plain-text notes, choose an embedding model, and build a local semantic index. The extension does not monitor folders in the background.

Raycast may ask permission before invoking an extension tool. Raycast AI also requires a signed-in Raycast account, even though the model request itself goes to your configured LM Studio server. The local LM Studio server must be running when the tool executes.
LM Studio MCP plugins are disabled by default. They must be enabled for an individual conversation with both a plugin ID and an explicit tool allowlist. LM Studio executes allowed tools on the server before Raycast receives their results, so only enable plugins and tools you trust.
With the default localhost server, prompts are sent directly from Raycast to LM Studio on the same computer. A custom remote server address sends prompts, attachments, and enabled MCP configuration to that server instead.
Conversation transcripts, copied chat attachments, prompt presets, and note embeddings are stored in Raycast's extension support directory. Indexed source documents remain in their original folders. Use the erase actions in Chat and Search Notes to remove extension-managed data.
No external analytics are collected.
Confirm that LM Studio 0.4.0 or newer is open and that its local server is running. Verify the server URL and token in Raycast's extension preferences.
Download a language model in LM Studio, then use Refresh Models. Embedding-only models intentionally do not appear in chat selectors.
Increase the maximum output-token setting or select Off when the model reports that reasoning can be disabled.
Download or load an embedding model, select it in Search Notes, add a folder, and build the index.
Enable MCP plugins in LM Studio's server settings, verify the configured plugin ID, and confirm every requested tool is in the conversation's allowlist.
