Install mcp quickstart in VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "secret",
      "description": "SECRET",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "mcp-quickstart": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@achsaf/quickstart-test"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SECRET": "${input:secret}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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