Provides overview of all Pinecone skills, required setup (account, API key), optional tools (CLI, MCP server, uv), and recommendations for which skill to use.
npx claudepluginhub pinecone-io/pinecone-claude-code-plugin --plugin pineconeThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
Pinecone is the leading vector database for building accurate and performant AI applications at scale in production. It's useful for building semantic search, retrieval augmented generation, recommendation systems, and agentic applications.
Guides new Pinecone developers through interactive quickstart: Database path creates index, upserts data, queries via MCP/Python; Assistant path builds document Q&A tool. For first-time setup.
Implements vector databases with Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Milvus, pgvector for semantic search, RAG, recommendations, and similarity systems. Optimizes embeddings, indexing, and hybrid search.

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 |
