      "id": "cad-compare-license",
      "description": "CAD_COMPARE_LICENSE",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "cad-compare": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

VS Code prompts for each input the first time the server starts, so no secret is written to the file. VS Code docs
