  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "lightspeed-client-id",
      "description": "LIGHTSPEED_CLIENT_ID",
      "password": true
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",

      "description": "LIGHTSPEED_CLIENT_SECRET",
      "password": true

  "servers": {
    "insights-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/redhatinsights/red-hat-lightspeed-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LIGHTSPEED_CLIENT_ID": "${input:lightspeed-client-id}",
        "LIGHTSPEED_CLIENT_SECRET": "${input:lightspeed-client-secret}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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