Guide for using the Pinecone CLI (pc) to manage Pinecone resources from the terminal. The CLI supports ALL index types (standard, integrated, sparse) and all vector operations — unlike the MCP which only supports integrated indexes. Use for batch operations, vector management, backups, namespaces, CI/CD automation, and full control over Pinecone resources.
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 CLI (`pc`) Manage Pinecone from the terminal. The CLI is especially valuable for vector operations across **all index types** — something the MCP currently can't do. ## CLI vs MCP | | CLI | MCP | |---|---|---| | Index types | All (standard, integrated, sparse) | Integrated only | | Vector ops (upsert, query, fetch, update, delete) | ✅ | ❌ | | Text search on integrated indexes | ✅ | ✅ | | Backups, namespaces, org/project mgmt | ✅ | ❌ | | CI/CD / scripting | ✅ | ❌ | --- ## Setup ### Install (macOS) ```bash brew tap pinecone-io/tap brew install pinecone-io/tap/pinecone ``` Other platforms (Linux, Windows) — download from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/pinecone-io/cli/releases). ### Authenticate ```bash # Interactive (recommended for local dev) pc login pc target -o "my-org" -p "my-project" # Service account (recommended for CI/CD) pc auth configure --client-id "$PINECONE_CLIENT_ID" --client-secret "$PINECONE_CLIENT_SECRET" # API key (quick testing) pc config set-api-key $PINECONE_API_KEY ``` Check status: `pc auth status` · `pc target --show` …

How to install
mdr add pinecone-io/pinecone-claude-code-plugin/pinecone:cli@sha256:f8e9572bec9463aaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260304.851af7c, 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.
