Pinecone Developer MCP Server

What it does

Pinecone’s developer MCP server searches documentation and manages and queries indexes with integrated inference. Indexes without integrated inference are not supported.

Get started

Follow the server README for its supported transport, installation, credentials and client configuration. Compatibility depends on the client and server transport; no individual client has been runtime-tested by this directory.

Open setup guide

Setup takes place on the publisher’s site. Some tools require accounts, API keys, a compatible host or paid services. Review permissions before connecting.

Connect with Cursor

Requirements

Cursor and Node.js 20 or later with node and npx on PATH. A Pinecone API key is required to manage or query indexes; documentation search works without a key. Only indexes with integrated inference are supported. Service costs and quotas are not verified by this directory.

Follow Configure Cursor in the publisher README. Add the documented @pinecone-database/mcp command to the project’s .cursor/mcp.json, supply your Pinecone API key privately when accessing indexes, and check its status in Cursor Settings. The README also describes global configuration.

Publisher-documented Cursor local command integration for Pinecone development. Indexes without integrated inference, Assistants, standalone embeddings and vector search are outside this server’s stated support.
