Connect AWS Knowledge to Raycast
Give Raycast governed access to AWS Knowledge’s 5 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add AWS Knowledge to Raycast in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Raycast then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Add AWS Knowledge to Runlayer
AWS Knowledge isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.
Adding a connector manually - 2
Connect Raycast to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Raycast by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Raycast reaches AWS Knowledge’s 5 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Sign in to AWS Knowledge
Sign in the way AWS Knowledge requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Raycast
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Raycast exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every AWS Knowledge call from Raycast passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Raycast as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Raycast yet, so control happens at the gateway.
