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.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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.
