        "run", 
        "-i", 
        "--rm", 
        "-e", 
        "PINECONE_API_KEY", 
        "-e", 
        "PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST", 
        "pinecone/assistant-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PINECONE_API_KEY": "<YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY_HERE>",
        "PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST": "<YOUR_PINECONE_ASSISTANT_HOST_HERE>"
      }
    }
  }

## Building from Source

If you prefer to build from source without Docker:

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
```sh
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
```
