# AI agent access to Pinecone: manage indexes, collections, and vectors via MCP
This automation template enables an AI agent to manage the Pinecone vector database via a unified MCP server built in n8n. The workflow acts as secure middleware between the agent and Pinecone API, allowing structured, safe access to core database operations.
## Who it´s for
- Developers building AI agents with Pinecone integration
- Machine learning engineers automating vector database workflows
- Tech leads deploying MCP servers for AI-to-API connectivity
## What the automation does
- Listens for AI tool calls via MCP Server trigger
- Executes index operations: create, delete, describe
- Manages vectors: upsert, update, delete, query
- Translates agent requests into Pinecone API HTTP calls
- Returns structured responses back to the agent
- Supports dynamic data management initiated by the agent
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow
- Trigger and handler logic for AI tool calls via MCP
- Integrations with Pinecone and AI Agent (HTTP-based)
- Basic text guide for setup and adaptation
## Requirements for setup
- n8n account (cloud or self-hosted)
- Pinecone account with API key
- AI agent configured to make MCP-style tool calls
- Familiarity with HTTP nodes and environment variables
## Benefits and outcomes
- Accelerates AI agent integration with vector databases
- Centralizes Pinecone access through a single controlled interface
- Reduces risks of direct API exposure
- Enables scalable, maintainable request handling logic
- Supports real-time vector data control via agent commands
