Connect MongoDB to Raycast
Give Raycast governed access to MongoDB through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add MongoDB to Raycast in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Raycast then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve MongoDB in Runlayer
Add MongoDB from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect Raycast to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Raycast by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Raycast reaches MongoDB’s tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Sign in to MongoDB
An admin adds MongoDB credentials to Runlayer once. They never sit in the client’s configuration.
- 4
Use MongoDB from Raycast
MongoDB’s approved tools appear in Raycast. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
MongoDB tools in Raycast
MongoDB reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.
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 MongoDB 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.
