Mintplex-Labs/vector-admin
The universal tool suite for vector database management. Manage Pinecone, Chroma, Qdrant, Weaviate and more vector databases with ease.
VectorAdmin is a self-hostable GUI for managing vector databases — browse, edit, delete, and search individual embedding chunks across Pinecone, Chroma, Qdrant, and Weaviate. It fills a real gap: most vector DB tooling is API-only, and seeing what's actually in your database is surprisingly painful without something like this. The maintainers have since moved on to AnythingLLM and explicitly state this is no longer actively maintained.
The chunk-level editing UI is the main draw — being able to view, update, or delete individual embedding fragments without writing API calls is genuinely useful for debugging RAG pipelines. The copy-without-re-embedding feature is smart cost management: cloning documents or namespaces between databases without paying OpenAI again. Multi-user org model with role-based access is more than you'd expect from a side project. Docker single-command setup actually works and the architecture (Node backend, Flask document processor, Inngest workers) is sensible.
Abandoned — the README leads with a deprecation notice, last meaningful activity was 2023-2024, and any breaking API changes from Pinecone, Weaviate, or Chroma since then are unpatched. Only OpenAI is supported for embeddings; if you're using Cohere, Voyage, or local models, you're rewriting the embedding layer yourself. The RAG regression testing feature is marked 'still in progress' and so is cross-provider database migration — the two most interesting tool features ship as stubs. Development explicitly does not work on Windows, which narrows who can contribute.
