  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "helmdeck-url",
      "description": "HELMDECK_URL",
      "password": true
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",

      "description": "HELMDECK_TOKEN",

  "servers": {
    "helmdeck": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@helmdeck/mcp-bridge"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HELMDECK_URL": "${input:helmdeck-url}",
        "HELMDECK_TOKEN": "${input:helmdeck-token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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