Raycast + QuestDB

One chat. Your QuestDB, live inside Raycast.

Real prompts, answered with live data. This is the kind of conversation you will have in Raycast once the server is in.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

These prompts ship with the QuestDB Connector. Once yours is connected, they work in your sessions.

The full capability set, the prompts and the observed latency live on the QuestDB Connector page.

Mission Control

See everything your Raycast agents do in QuestDB.

When Raycast runs a tool in QuestDB, it happens on Raycast's side: you see the result, but not the request itself, what data it carried, or whether a rule was broken.

Now every move lands on your screen.

Every execution is recorded, enforced, and shown to you: what ran, what it returned, what was blocked, and why.

Request Volume & Latency

requests latency

Every request your Raycast agents make through QuestDB is logged, enforced and auditable. See how AI Governance turns agent activity into accountability, and what it means for your QuestDB workflows.

What sets us apart

It's not just the Connector that stays safe. Everything your agents do through it is.

Connecting QuestDB to your AI is step one. But an open line between your agents and QuestDB is only half the story: without protection, every action they take runs unguarded.

That's why protection doesn't stop at the door.

Every action your agents take through the Connector runs inside our infrastructure: signed activity logs, automatic key rotation, spending limits that pause instead of surprise, and a sandbox that isolates every execution.

01

Tamper Proof Activity Log

Every request your agents make in QuestDB is recorded and signed, so any change to the history becomes detectable.

02

Automatic Key Rotation

We rotate security keys every 24 hours. Your QuestDB connection stays protected without any manual work.

03

Spending Protection

We enforce the spending limit you choose and pause actions that exceed it until approval is received. Your QuestDB actions never surprise you.

04

Isolated Sandbox

Every execution through QuestDB runs isolated, with 34+ security rules covering memory, CPU, network access, file handling and execution.

05

Security Event Streaming

Security events flow to Splunk, Datadog or your own webhook, so QuestDB activity lands in the tools you already rely on.

06

Instant Resume

Idle connections resume in 3 to 5 ms while preserving their state, keeping your Raycast sessions responsive.

07

Malicious File Protection

We detect compressed files designed to exhaust system resources and block them before they ever reach QuestDB.

08

Credential Validation

We test your QuestDB credentials before saving them. Invalid credentials are rejected instead of being stored.

09

Separate Usage Limits

Usage stays isolated per account, so activity in one connection never consumes another account's allowance.

One Connector, one link, and the whole operation is protected. Not just the connection: everything your agents do through it.

These guarantees are not add-ons: they are the infrastructure every QuestDB connection runs on. Read how our infrastructure protects everything your Raycast agents do, end to end.

FAQ

Raycast access questions.

  • 01

    Do I need Raycast Pro?

    Yes. Custom MCP servers are a Pro-exclusive feature of Raycast, and the same server works on your Mac and on iOS (which is HTTP-only).

  • 02

    If I connect QuestDB to Gemini, can I use the same connection in Claude or ChatGPT later?

    Yes, and that's the point: the connection is yours, not Gemini's. You paste the same link in any AI you use, and there's nothing new to set up or pay again. Connect a new AI and QuestDB is already there.

  • 03

    What does Raycast need to connect to QuestDB?

    Just the link, with HTTP as the transport. OAuth is supported if you prefer it, but the hosted Connector handles access on our side, so No auth works too.

  • 04

    What can I actually ask Gemini to do with QuestDB?

    Whatever the Connector covers: check data, run actions and bring answers back. The Connector page lists every capability your AI gains, with real examples you can copy.

  • 05

    Gemini doesn't show the Connector. What do I check?

    Open Manage MCP Servers and check the status shows Running, confirm the URL was pasted exactly as copied, and confirm the Connector is active in your Vinkius account. A deactivated Connector stops responding.

  • 06

    Can I remove the access later?

    Open Manage MCP Servers and choose Uninstall in the Action Panel. Your Vinkius account keeps the connection and its history either way, ready for the next AI.

About the Connector

What QuestDB adds to your AI.

Once you connect it, your AI gains 4 capabilities: the exact actions it can take in QuestDB when you ask. The Connector page lists every one of them in detail, alongside the latency we measure in production and prompts worth trying first.
