      "args": [
        "mqtt5-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MQTT_HOST": "${input:mqtt-host}",
        "MQTT_PORT": "${input:mqtt-port}",
        "MQTT_USERNAME": "${input:mqtt-username}",

        "MQTT_USE_TLS": "${input:mqtt-use-tls}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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