Raycast ⇄ SwiftyClip

Raycast doesn't speak MCP, but it has a native Shortcuts bridge. Wrap SwiftyClip's App Intents in named Shortcuts and trigger them from the Raycast bar with a hotkey or alias.

Minimal setup

Install SwiftyClip from /download.
Open Shortcuts.app. Create a new shortcut, add one of the SwiftyClip actions (Ingest / Score / Render Latest). Give it a name like SwiftyClip Render.
Open Raycast Preferences → Extensions → Shortcuts. The new shortcut will appear in the list.
Assign a hotkey (e.g. ⌥ ⌘ R) or a Raycast alias (type scr).

Suggested hotkeys

⌥ ⌘ I — Ingest Video (pairs with a Files prompt)
⌥ ⌘ S — Score Latest Clip
⌥ ⌘ R — Render Latest Clip

Pick hotkeys that don't conflict with your muscle memory. Raycast surfaces conflicts automatically.

Why no native Raycast extension?

We considered shipping a Raycast extension but the App Intents + Shortcuts bridge already covers 95% of the use case with zero maintenance. A native extension makes sense if we add features that don't map to Intents cleanly (e.g. live project browsers). On the roadmap, not urgent.
