      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "money-manager-mcp@latest",
        "--baseUrl",
        "${input:moneyManager.baseUrl}"
      ]
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "id": "moneyManager.baseUrl",
      "description": "Enter the base URL for the Money Manager API",
      "type": "promptString",
