pinecone-quickstart skillA

pinecone-quickstart is agent-read markdown (skill) from pinecone-io/pinecone-cursor-plugin: 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..

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 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, ask in plain prose, list the options, and wait for their answer before continuing.

## 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:

- Add `PINECONE_API_KEY=your-key` to a `.env` file at your workspace root. The
  bundled MCP config reads it through Cursor's `envFile` field.
- For scripts, either `export PINECONE_API_KEY="your-key"` in your terminal or
  run them 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.
