How to connect raycast to apple mail

Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install Raycast first if it is not there yet.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy and switch on Apple Mail.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. macOS asks whether Pomeroy may control Mail, which is how one Mac app reads another's mail. The prompt names Pomeroy, and nothing is requested until you flip the toggle.

  2. 2

    Press Set up beside Raycast.

    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.

  3. 3

    Paste it into Raycast.

    Paste the configuration into Raycast › Install MCP Server. 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.

  4. 4

    Ask Raycast something.

    Try “Find the flight confirmation from March and tell me the times.” and a real answer comes back.

The configuration, in full

Set up writes it for you. The documentation has the exact text, where it goes, and how to check it worked.

Can Raycast read my Apple Mail?

Yes. Once you switch Mail on in Pomeroy, Raycast can list your mailboxes, read messages, and search your mail. Searches cover subjects and senders, and message bodies through an index built and kept on your Mac.

Can Raycast send email for me?

No. Pomeroy has no way to send, reply, or forward, so Raycast cannot be talked into it. If you want a reply written, Raycast can draft the words and you send them yourself.

Is it safe to connect Raycast to Apple Mail?

Pomeroy reads your mail on your Mac and sends nothing to a Pomeroy server. What Raycast reads becomes part of your conversation, the same as text you paste in. Mail starts switched off, and you can switch it off again at any time. Pomeroy is an independent app, not made by Anthropic.

Raycast does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Then check that the app you asked about is switched on in Pomeroy: an app that is off serves no tools. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether Raycast is connected right now.
