How to Add an Item to a Vector Store Collection

1 min readUpdated 4 November 2026

Store a data point with its ID, metadata, and embedding in a Vultr Serverless Inference vector store via the Vultr API.

A collection item is a data point within a vector store collection, containing a unique identifier, associated metadata, and a vector representation (embedding) of the content. These embeddings capture the semantic meaning of the data, enabling fast and relevant retrieval that enhances tasks such as information generation and decision-making.

Follow this guide to add an item to a vector store collection on Vultr Serverless Inference using the Vultr Console or the Vultr API.

Navigate to Compute and click Serverless Inference.
Click the target subscription to open its Manage Serverless Inference page.
Click the Vector Store tab.
Click Add Item next to the target collection.
Enter a Description for the item.
Enter the text to embed in the Content field.
Click the Auto Chunk drop-down and select Yes or No. When set to Yes, the Console splits content that exceeds the embedding model's maximum sequence length into 300-token chunks with 20 tokens of overlap before and after each piece.
Click Add Collection Item.
