The MCP server fails to start#

If the MCP server fails to start, check its output by opening View › Command Palette… › MCP: List Servers › Web Scraping Copilot › Show Output.

If you see realpath: command not found in the output, chances are you are running macOS 12 (Monterey). macOS 12 is end-of-life, consider upgrading to a newer macOS version. If you cannot upgrade, install realpath.
