## Why use Vercel Connect with Pinecone?

- ### Credentials on demand

    Request Pinecone credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.

- ### Access for the right subject

    Keep app-scoped Pinecone access behind a reusable connector controlled by your team.

- ### Centralized credential management

    Manage Pinecone credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.

- ### Vercel-native controls

    Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.
