.vscode/mcp.json 

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "orcid-client-id",
      "description": "ORCID_CLIENT_ID",
      "password": true
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "orcid-client-secret",
      "description": "ORCID_CLIENT_SECRET",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "orcid": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "orcid-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ORCID_CLIENT_ID": "${input:orcid-client-id}",
        "ORCID_CLIENT_SECRET": "${input:orcid-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
