Query and manage OpenSearch clusters — API explorer, command presets, and search, keyboard-first.
Overview

OpenSearch DevTools

Query and manage your OpenSearch clusters from Raycast — keyboard-first.

Features

  • Console — paste OpenSearch Dashboards Dev Tools syntax (GET posts/_search + a JSON body) and run it directly.
  • API Explorer — send any request (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) with a JSON body and inspect the response.
  • Command Palette — one-keystroke access to common commands (Cluster Health, Cat Indices, Nodes, Aliases, Templates, Tasks…).
  • Search — pick an index and run a search query.
  • Query History — re-run recent queries and keep favorites (last 100).
  • Manage Connections — save multiple clusters (Dev / Stage / Production) and pick a default.

Setup

Open Manage Connections and add a cluster. Two authentication modes are supported:

  • Basic Auth — username / password (self-hosted clusters, OpenSearch Security plugin).
  • AWS SigV4 — access key / secret (+ optional session token), region, and service (es for managed OpenSearch, aoss for Serverless).

Enable Ignore Certificate Errors for clusters using self-signed certificates.

If you only use a single cluster, you can instead fill in the extension preferences (URL / username / password) as a fallback.

Security

Connection details — including passwords and AWS secrets — are stored in Raycast's local encrypted database (LocalStorage). They never leave your machine except to talk to the clusters you configure.

Copy formats

Every response can be copied as raw JSON, pretty JSON, a runnable curl command, or in OpenSearch Dashboards Dev Tools console format.
