      "id": "openpaper-api-token",
      "description": "OPENPAPER_API_TOKEN",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "openpaper-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "openpaper-mcp"

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