Here's everything you need to get started and a summary of all available skills.
export PINECONE_API_KEY="your-key"
Note: Claude Code inherits your shell environment, so the export above is sufficient.| Tool | What it enables | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Pinecone MCP server | Use Pinecone directly inside your AI agent/IDE without writing code | Setup guide |
Pinecone CLI (pc) | Manage all index types from the terminal, batch operations, backups, CI/CD | brew tap pinecone-io/tap && brew install pinecone-io/tap/pinecone |
| uv | Run the packaged Python scripts included in these skills | Install uv |
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
pinecone:quickstart | Step-by-step onboarding — create an index, upload data, and run your first search |
pinecone:query | Search integrated indexes using natural language text via the Pinecone MCP |
pinecone:cli | Use the Pinecone CLI (pc) for terminal-based index and vector management |
pinecone:assistant | Create, manage, and chat with Pinecone Assistants for document Q&A with citations |
pinecone:mcp | Reference for all Pinecone MCP server tools and their parameters |
pinecone:full-text-search | Build a full-text-search index — schema design, safe bulk ingestion, and query construction (text / query_string / dense / sparse scoring with text-match and metadata filters). Preview API (2026-01.alpha); requires pinecone Python SDK ≥ 9.0. |
pinecone:docs | Curated links to official Pinecone documentation, organized by topic |
pinecone:n8n | Build n8n workflows with the Pinecone Assistant node or Pinecone Vector Store node, including best practices and full workflow JSON generation |
