Pincone speaks MCP — the open standard that lets AI assistants plug into the apps you use. Connect your assistant, and it can save links, organize folders, and search everything you've ever collected, right from the conversation you're already having.
What's an MCP?
Think of it as a USB cable for your assistant: one connector, and Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or any MCP-compatible assistant can browse and act on your Pincone. No plugins to build, nothing to install.
Setting it up
- Go to Account → Integrations in Pincone.
- Copy your connector URL.
- Paste it wherever your assistant asks for a connector or integration (in Claude, that's under connectors; in ChatGPT, under connected apps).
That's genuinely the whole setup. If you can copy and paste, you're qualified.
What can your assistant actually do?
Everything you'd do yourself: save a link (it fetches the title and image for you), file things into folders — creating them on the fly if needed — add labels, search your whole library, and check what's new in your feeds and inboxes. Some favorite asks:
- "Save this article to my Reading List with the labels ai and design."
- "What did I save about typography last month?"
- "Anything new in my newsletters today? Summarize the highlights."
Your assistant sees exactly what you see and no more — its access is scoped to your account and its teams, with the same permissions you have.
Is it safe? How do I revoke access?
The connector URL contains a personal token — treat it like a password. If it leaks, or an assistant experiment goes weird, hit Regenerate Token on the Integrations page: the old URL dies instantly, everywhere it was pasted, and you get a fresh one.
Connecting your assistant is also one of the steps on the getting-started checklist that greets new accounts — this is that step's long version. New to Pincone generally? Start with Getting Started with Pincone.
