About MCP Pinecone Vector Database Server
An MCP server for reading and writing vectorized information in Pinecone, aimed at workflows using RAG-processed PDFs or Confluence data. It supports document search, vector updates, and batch processing of Confluence exports.
Key features
- 01Search similar documents by text
- 02Add vectors with custom metadata
- 03Batch-process Confluence exports
- 04Delete vectors by ID
- 05Database statistics tool currently disabled
Use cases
- 01Search documents derived from RAG-processed PDFs
- 02Upload Confluence exports as vectors
- 03Remove selected vectors from a namespace
MCP support
The server exposes tools for searching, adding, deleting, and processing vectors in Pinecone to MCP clients. Its database statistics tool is temporarily disabled.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEMCP Pinecone Vector Database Server
This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows reading and writing vectorized information to a Pinecone vector database. It's designed to work with both RAG-processed PDF data and Confluence data.
Features
- Search for similar documents using text queries
- Add new vectors to the database with custom metadata
- Process and upload Confluence data in batch
- Delete vectors by ID
- Basic database statistics (temporarily disabled)
Prerequisites
- Bun runtime
- Pinecone API key
- OpenAI API key (for generating embeddings)
Installation
-
Clone this repository
-
Install dependencies:
bun install -
Create a
.envfile with the following content:PINECONE_API_KEY=your-pinecone-api-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key PINECONE_HOST=your-pinecone-host PINECONE_INDEX_NAME=your-index-name DEFAULT_NAMESPACE=your-namespace
Usage
Running the MCP Server
Start the server:
bun src/index.ts
The server will start and listen for MCP commands via stdio.
Running the Example Client
Test the server with the example client:
bun examples/client.ts
Processing Confluence Data
The Confluence processing script provides detailed logging and verification:
bun src/scripts/process-confluence.ts <file-path> [collection] [scope]
Parameters:
file-path: Path to your Confluence JSON file (required)collection: Document collection name (defaults to "documentation")scope: Document scope (defaults to "documentation")
Example:
bun src/scripts/process-confluence.ts ./data/confluence-export.json "tech-docs" "engineering"
The script will:
- Validate input parameters
- Process and vectorize the content
- Upload vectors in batches
- Verify successful upload
- Provide detailed logs of the process
Available Tools
The server provides the following tools:
-
search-vectors- Search for similar documents with parameters:- query: string (search query text)
- topK: number (1-100, default: 5)
- filter: object (optional filter criteria)
-
add-vector- Add a single document with parameters:- text: string (content to vectorize)
- metadata: object (vector metadata)
- id: string (optional custom ID)
-
process-confluence- Process Confluence JSON data with parameters:- filePath: string (path to JSON file)
- namespace: string (optional, defaults to "capella-document-search")
-
delete-vectors- Delete vectors with parameters:- ids: string[] (list of vector IDs)
- namespace: string (optional, defaults to "capella-document-search")
-
get-stats- Get database statistics (temporarily disabled)
Database Configuration
The server requires a Pinecone vector database. Configure the connection details in your .env file:
PINECONE_API_KEY=your-api-key
PINECONE_HOST=your-host
PINECONE_INDEX_NAME=your-index
DEFAULT_NAMESPACE=your-namespace

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
