      "id": "mcp-log-level",
      "description": "MCP_LOG_LEVEL",
      "password": true

    "shift-mcp-server": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cyanheads/shift-mcp-server"

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