Interactive Pinecone quickstart for new developers. Choose between two paths - Database (create an integrated index, upsert data, and query using Pinecone MCP + Python) or Assistant (create a Pinecone Assistant for document Q&A). Use when a user wants to get started with Pinecone for the first time or wants a guided tour of Pinecone's tools.
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 Quickstart Welcome! This skill walks you through your first Pinecone experience using the tools available to you. In this quickstart, you will learn how to do a simple form of semantic search over some example data. Whenever this skill asks the user to choose between options, confirm a destructive step, or pick from a list, use the AskUserQuestion tool rather than plain prose. Fall back to prose only if the tool is unavailable. ## Prerequisites Before starting either path, verify the API key works by calling `list-indexes` via the Pinecone MCP. If it succeeds, proceed. If it fails, ask the user to set their key: - 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/...`. Then retry `list-indexes` to confirm. ## Step 0: Choose Your Path Ask the user which path they want: - **Database** – Build a vector search index. Best for developers who want to store and search embeddings. Uses the Pinecone MCP + a Python upsert script. …

How to install
mdr add pinecone-io/pinecone-claude-code-plugin/pinecone:quickstart@sha256:e2335071734dd753The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.948d74b, 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.
