A vrt file look like that:

<GDAL_WMS>
    <Service name="TMS">
        <ServerUrl>%url%</ServerUrl>
    </Service>
    <Referer>%referer%</Referer>
    <DataWindow>
        <UpperLeftX>-20037508.34</UpperLeftX>
        <UpperLeftY>20037508.34</UpperLeftY>
        <LowerRightX>20037508.34</LowerRightX>
        <LowerRightY>-20037508.34</LowerRightY>
        <TileLevel>19</TileLevel>
        <TileCountX>1</TileCountX>
        <TileCountY>1</TileCountY>
        <YOrigin>top</YOrigin>
    </DataWindow>
    <Projection>EPSG:3857</Projection>
    <BlockSizeX>256</BlockSizeX>
    <BlockSizeY>256</BlockSizeY>
    <BandsCount>3</BandsCount>
    <Cache>
        <Path>%cache_dir%</Path>
        <Depth>2</Depth>
        <Extension>.png</Extension>
    </Cache>
</GDAL_WMS>

and you would replace %url% by something like http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/openstreetmap.map-inh7ifmo/${z}/${x}/${y}.png?access_token=***or http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/openstreetmap.map-inh7ifmo/${z}/${x}/${y}.png?access_token=***.

Parameters Referer, UserAgent may be required by your WMS provider.

You can find more about vrt files in the git history of this repo. I eventually decided that this is too much dependant on the WMS server used so that it is the responsibility of the reuser of this repo to configure it to work properly. So I removed the template from the versioned code. However I agree this can be painful to write from scratch.
