Overview of all available Pinecone skills and what a user needs to get started. Invoke when a user asks what skills are available, how to get started with Pinecone, or what they need to set up before using any Pinecone skill.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Pinecone Skills — Help & Overview

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.

Here's everything you need to get started and a summary of all available skills.

Invoke any skill from chat with `/pinecone:<skill-name>` — for example `/pinecone:quickstart` or `/pinecone:n8n`.

## What You Need

### Required
- **Pinecone account** — free to create at https://app.pinecone.io/?sessionType=signup
- **API key** — create one in the Pinecone console after signing up, then make it
  available to this environment:
  - Run `export PINECONE_API_KEY="your-key"` in your terminal. Claude Code reads
  your shell environment, so this is enough.
- To use a `.env` file instead, run scripts with `uv run --env-file .env scripts/...`.

### Optional (unlock more capabilities)

| Tool | What it enables | Install |
|---|---|---|
| **Pinecone MCP server** | Use Pinecone directly inside your AI agent/IDE without writing code | [Setup guide](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/operations/mcp-server#tools) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pinecone-io/pinecone-claude-code-plugin/pinecone:help@sha256:053ca3b59fd4a460

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.36c28af, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
