This is the official Pinecone plugin for Claude Code, which integrates Pinecone vector database capabilities directly into Claude Code for semantic search, index management, and RAG workflows. It provides slash-command skills such as /pinecone:quickstart, /pinecone:query, /pinecone:full-text-search, and /pinecone:assistant, plus access to the full Pinecone MCP Server for creating, listing, searching, and upserting indexes. Installation is done via the Claude Code Plugins Directory or the Pinecone marketplace, and requires a PINECONE_API_KEY; assistant-related commands additionally require the uv Python package manager, and the CLI installation is optional. According to the README, the /pinecone:query command only works with integrated indexes that use Pinecone's hosted embedding models. The project is MIT licensed and maintained by pinecone-io on GitHub.
Overview
Pinecone is a vector database used for semantic search, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), and related vector-based applications; this plugin connects Claude Code to Pinecone's MCP server and Assistant service, per the README.
What you can do with pinecone
- Run /pinecone:quickstart to create an integrated index, upsert data, and query it using Pinecone MCP + Python, or to set up a Pinecone Assistant
- Use /pinecone:query to search integrated indexes with natural language (works only with Pinecone's hosted embedding models)
- Use /pinecone:full-text-search for the FTS preview API (2026-01.alpha), covering BM25, dense/sparse vector scoring, and text-match filters, including a scripts/ingest.py helper for bulk upsert with error inspection
- Use /pinecone:assistant to create, upload to, sync, chat with, and retrieve context from a Pinecone Assistant, via slash commands or natural language
- Use /pinecone:cli and /pinecone:mcp for guidance on the Pinecone CLI (pc) and the full list of MCP server tools (list-indexes, describe-index, describe-index-stats, search-records, create-index-for-model, upsert-records, rerank-documents)
- Use /pinecone:docs and /pinecone:help for curated documentation links and a skills overview
