Collections, points and vector search. The same job as Pinecone, self-hosted.

## Connecting

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

### What you will need

| Field      | What it is               |
| ---------- | ------------------------ |
| API Key    | Your Qdrant API key      |
| Qdrant URL | Your Qdrant instance URL |

### Getting the credential

1. **Qdrant Cloud**: Sign up and create a cluster at [Qdrant Cloud](https://cloud.qdrant.io/)
2. **Self-hosted**: Deploy Qdrant using Docker or Kubernetes
3. Get your cluster URL and API key (if authentication enabled)
4. Test connection with a simple collection creation
