{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "datacron-vault-root",
      "description": "DATACRON_VAULT_ROOT",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "datacron": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "datacron"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATACRON_VAULT_ROOT": "${input:datacron-vault-root}"

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