{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "downtrace-url",
      "description": "DOWNTRACE_URL",
      "password": true
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "downtrace-token",
      "description": "DOWNTRACE_TOKEN",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "downtrace": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@downtrace/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DOWNTRACE_URL": "${input:downtrace-url}",
        "DOWNTRACE_TOKEN": "${input:downtrace-token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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