pinecone:cli
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.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "pinecone-io/pinecone-claude-code-plugin:skills/cli" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/pinecone-io/pinecone-claude-code-plugin /tmp/pinecone-claude-code-plugin && ln -s /tmp/pinecone-claude-code-plugin/skills/cli ~/.claude/skills/pinecone:cliFrom README
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 | ✅ | ❌ | --- (macOS) Other platforms (Linux, Windows) — download from GitHub Releases. Authenticate Check status: pc auth status · pc target --show Note for agent sessions: If you need to run pc login inside an agent loop, the browser auth link may not surface correctly. It's best to authenticate before starting an agent session. Run pc login in your terminal directly, then invoke the agent once you're authenticated.
