Vector indexes and queries. A store an agent can search — BoostGPT already has its own.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find Pinecone and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against Pinecone before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

### What you will need

| Index Host | The host for your index, as returned by describe\_index — e.g. my-index-abc123.svc.us-east-1-aws.pinecone.io |
