SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of connecting Pinecone to a self-hosted Hermes agent, so you can add vector search and RAG capabilities without hand-building the integration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two Connection Paths: Supports the Pinecone developer MCP for full index CRUD and the hosted Assistant MCP for RAG over an existing assistant.
  • SSH-First, Idempotent Setup: Stores credentials safely, verifies live API access, registers the MCP, reloads the gateway, and rolls back on failure.
  • Use Case: Use it when you want an AI coding agent to query vectors, upsert embeddings, manage indexes, or connect Pinecone to a remote Hermes deployment with strong safety checks.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to connect Pinecone to your Hermes server over SSH and complete the full validation, registration, and smoke-test workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect a Pinecone vector database to a self-hosted Hermes agent?

Connecting Pinecone to a self-hosted Hermes agent requires an SSH-based deployment workflow that validates your pcsk_ API key, registers the MCP, reloads the gateway, and runs rollback-safe verification.

What is the difference between the Pinecone developer MCP and the hosted Assistant MCP for RAG?

The developer MCP enables full index CRUD operations, whereas the hosted Assistant MCP provides RAG capabilities over an existing assistant. Both integrate directly into a Hermes agent configuration.

Can I use semantic search and vector upserts with a remote Hermes deployment?

Yes, you can execute semantic search, vector upserts, and hybrid search on a remote Hermes deployment by completing the MCP registration and gateway reload steps over SSH.

Do I need a specific API key to wire Pinecone into Hermes?

Yes, wiring Pinecone into Hermes requires a pcsk_ API key. The setup process validates this key against the control-plane or Assistant endpoint before completing the hermes config registration.

What happens if the Pinecone MCP registration fails on my Hermes server?

If the Pinecone MCP registration fails, the SSH-first setup process includes rollback-safe verification that automatically reverts the gateway configuration to maintain your previous working state.
