pinecone:n8n

pinecone:n8n is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pinecone-io/pinecone-claude-code-plugin. It costs 67 tokens per session (7,968 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building n8n workflows with Pinecone nodes. n8n is a tool for connecting apps and automating multi-step tasks, while Pinecone provides searchable storage for information and documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build retrieval-augmented generation workflows, chat-with-documents flows, and workflows that store or search information in Pinecone.
Why use it?
It helps choose and configure the correct Pinecone node without manually calling Pinecone's REST API. It also provides a path for building, troubleshooting, or reviewing workflows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pinecone:n8n scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Pinecone n8n Workflow Skill

Invoke this skill from chat with /pinecone:n8n.

This skill helps you build n8n workflows with Pinecone nodes following best practices. It covers two Pinecone nodes:

  • Pinecone Assistant (@pinecone-database/n8n-nodes-pinecone-assistant) — recommended for most use cases
  • Pinecone Vector Store (@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.vectorStorePinecone) — for advanced control

Core rule: Always use the node's built-in resources and operations. Never suggest using the HTTP node to call the Pinecone REST API directly.


Step 1: Understand the user's scenario

Ask the user what they're trying to do:

  • Build a new workflow from scratch
  • Configure or understand a specific Pinecone node
  • Debug a workflow that isn't working
  • Review an existing workflow for best practices

Step 2: Node selection (for new workflows and configuration questions)

Always present the Pinecone Assistant node as the recommended choice first. Do NOT skip this step based on your own inference about which node fits better — even if the use case mentions specific triggers (Google Drive, webhooks, etc.) or file types (text, markdown, PDF), those details do not determine which node to use.

Only skip this step if:

  • The user explicitly names a specific node (e.g. "I want to use the Vector Store node", "help me set up pineconeAssistant")
  • The user is debugging or configuring an existing workflow that already has a specific Pinecone node in it

If the user has not named a node, always ask or recommend the Assistant node first. If the user said "use defaults" or you cannot ask, default to the Pinecone Assistant node and proceed with the Assistant path.

Ask the user which node they want to use, presenting these two options:

Pinecone Assistant (Recommended)

  • Fully managed RAG — Pinecone handles chunking, embedding, and indexing automatically
  • Built-in citations with file names and URLs
  • Simpler setup: no embedding model or text splitter needed in n8n
  • Great for: document Q&A, chat with files, knowledge base search
