# Weaviate Vector Store

### **Connecting Weaviate Vector Store**

Lyzr integrates with Weaviate, an open-source vector database, to enable lightning-fast similarity search and scalable data retrieval for your AI agents. By linking your Weaviate cluster, you provide your agents with a high-performance memory layer.

***

### **Configuration & Connection**

To connect Lyzr to your Weaviate instance, you must input the following credentials in the connection modal:

* **Unique Name:** A custom identifier for this data store (e.g., "Weaviate\_Main\_DB").
* **Vector Store API Key:** The authentication token generated within your Weaviate Cloud console.
* **Vector Store URL:** The REST endpoint address of your specific cluster.

***

### **Retrieving Your Credentials**

Follow these steps within the **Weaviate Cloud (WCD)** console to locate your connection details:

#### **1. Accessing the Dashboard**

Log in to your Weaviate Cloud account. If you do not have an active cluster, you will see the option to create one from your dashboard.
