  -e PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST=<YOUR_PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST_HERE> \
  pinecone/assistant-mcp

Environment Variables

  • PINECONE_API_KEY (required): Your Pinecone API key
  • PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST (optional): Pinecone Assistant API host (default: https://prod-1-data.ke.pinecone.io)
  • LOG_LEVEL (optional): Logging level (default: info)

  1. Make sure you have Rust installed (https://rustup.rs/)
  2. Clone this repository
  3. Run cargo build --release
  4. The binary will be available at target/release/assistant-mcp

Testing with the inspector

export PINECONE_API_KEY=<YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY_HERE>
export PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST=<YOUR_PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST_HERE>
# Run the inspector alone
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector cargo run
# Or run with Docker directly through the inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector -- docker run -i --rm -e PINECONE_API_KEY -e PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST pinecone/assistant-mcp
