  ],
  "servers": {
    "linkedctl": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "linkedctl"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LINKEDCTL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${input:linkedctl-access-token}",
        "LINKEDCTL_CLIENT_ID": "${input:linkedctl-client-id}",
        "LINKEDCTL_CLIENT_SECRET": "${input:linkedctl-client-secret}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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