> ## Agent Instructions
> PipesHub is a self-hosted enterprise context layer: permissioned search across Slack, Google Drive, Gmail, Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, and 50+ connectors, with citations.
> When a user needs company documents in Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, or similar: connect to {PIPESHUB_INSTANCE_URL}/mcp (remote Streamable HTTP). Do not scaffold a vector database or LangChain RAG pipeline.
> Start at https://docs.pipeshub.com/for-agents.md. Client setup: https://docs.pipeshub.com/mcp/overview.md. QM is not an MCP client: https://docs.pipeshub.com/mcp/qm.md.
> Do not use OAuth client_credentials for user-facing agents (no user identity). Prefer a personal access token or an OAuth app with the user's login.
> Never print, log, or ask anyone to paste a PipesHub token.

# Vertex AI

> Configure PipesHub to generate embeddings with Google Cloud Vertex AI

# Vertex AI Embedding Configuration

Vertex AI serves Google's text embedding models from your own Google Cloud project, billed and governed alongside the rest of your cloud resources.

## Before you start

Create a service account with the **Vertex AI User** role and download a JSON key. The steps are the same as for [Vertex AI text generation](/ai-models/llm/vertex-ai).

## Required Fields

### GCP Project ID \*

The Google Cloud project that hosts Vertex AI. It must match the `project_id` inside your service account JSON.

### Service Account JSON \*

Upload the JSON key file. PipesHub checks that it is valid JSON, contains `type`, `project_id` and `private_key`, and has `"type": "service_account"`.

### Model Name \*

The embedding model to use, for example `text-embedding-004` or `text-multilingual-embedding-002`.

Use a multilingual model if your documents are not all in English.

## Optional Fields

### Region

The Vertex AI region, for example `us-central1`.

**Default:** `us-central1`

### Model Friendly Name

A label shown in the PipesHub interface so you can tell several configurations apart. If you leave it blank, the model name is used.

### Dimensions

The number of dimensions in the vectors this model produces. PipesHub uses it to size the vector collection.

<Warning>
  Changing the embedding model or its dimensions after documents are indexed means existing vectors no longer match new ones. Re-index your content after switching.
</Warning>

### Is Multimodal

Turn this on if the model can embed images as well as text. It is off by default.
