      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "chatcrystal"
      ],
      "env": {

        "CHATCRYSTAL_API_TOKEN": "${input:chatcrystal-api-token}"
      }
    }
  }

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