      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@paneui/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PANE_API_KEY": "${input:pane-api-key}",
        "PANE_URL": "${input:pane-url}",
        "PANE_AGENT_NAME": "${input:pane-agent-name}",
        "PANE_REGISTER_SECRET": "${input:pane-register-secret}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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