## Troubleshooting

### 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](https://ports.macports.org/port/realpath/).
