Pinecone Developer MCP Server
Pinecone's own MCP server for developers using Pinecone from a coding assistant.
What it does
Pinecone's own MCP server for developers using Pinecone from a coding assistant. It runs locally through npx (Node.js 22 or later) and reads a Pinecone API key from the environment; without a key it can still search the Pinecone documentation. With a key, the agent can list and describe indexes and their statistics, create document indexes and indexes with hosted embedding models, upsert documents and records, run semantic and keyword searches with filters, search across several indexes at once and rerank results. It does not handle Pinecone Assistants, standalone embeddings or queries with your own vectors.
