Pinecone MCP Tools Reference

The Pinecone MCP server exposes the following tools to AI agents and IDEs. For setup and installation instructions, see the MCP server guide.

Key Limitation: The Pinecone MCP only supports integrated indexes — indexes created with a built-in Pinecone embedding model. It does not work with standard indexes using external embedding models. For those, use the Pinecone CLI.

list-indexes

List all indexes in the current Pinecone project.

describe-index

Get configuration details for a specific index — cloud, region, dimension, metric, embedding model, field map, and status.
