pinecone-mcp skillA

pinecone-mcp is agent-read markdown (skill) from pinecone-io/pinecone-cursor-plugin: Reference for the Pinecone MCP server tools. Documents all available tools - list-indexes, describe-index, describe-index-stats, create-index-for-model, upsert-records, search-records, cascading-search, and rerank-documents. Use when an agent needs to understand what Pinecone MCP tools are available, how to use them, or what parameters they accept..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Pinecone MCP Tools Reference

The Pinecone MCP server exposes the following tools to AI agents and IDEs. For setup and installation instructions, see the [MCP server guide](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/operations/mcp-server#tools).

> **Key Limitation:** The Pinecone MCP only supports **integrated indexes** — indexes created with a built-in Pinecone embedding model. It does not work with standard indexes using external embedding models. For those, use the Pinecone CLI.

---

## `list-indexes`

List all indexes in the current Pinecone project.

---

## `describe-index`

Get configuration details for a specific index — cloud, region, dimension, metric, embedding model, field map, and status.

**Parameters:**
- `name` (required) — Index name

---

## `describe-index-stats`

Get statistics for an index including total record count and per-namespace breakdown.

**Parameters:**
- `name` (required) — Index name

---

## `create-index-for-model`

Create a new serverless index with an integrated embedding model. Pinecone handles embedding automatically — no external model needed.

**Parameters:**
- `name` (required) — Index name
- `cloud` (required) — `aws`, `gcp`, or `azure`
