{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "meddata-api-key",
      "description": "MEDDATA_API_KEY",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "meddata": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "meddata-mcp"

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