## Node.js Installation and PATH Issues (3/6/2025, 11:13:10 AM)

<think>The error message is pretty clear: `Failed to start MCP server process: env: node: No such file or directory`. This indicates that the system is trying to run a Node.js application but it can't find the `node` executable in the environment.
Key error: `env: node: No such file or directory`
This suggests that:
1. Node.js is not installed on the system, or
2. Node.js is installed but not properly added to the system PATH.
The Scrapezy MCP server appears to be a Node.js application, and when the system tries to start it, it can't find the `node` command to execute it.
Possible solutions:
1. Install Node.js if it's not installed
2. Ensure Node.js is properly added to the PATH environment variable
3. Check if the MCP server configuration is using the correct path to Node.js
Let me check if there's a way to determine the current Node.js installation status on the system.</think># Node.js Not Found Error
The error message indicates that your system cannot find the `node` executable when trying to start the Scrapezy MCP server. This happens because:
```
Failed to start MCP server process: env: node: No such file or directory
```
## Diagnosis
This error occurs for one of these reasons:
1. Node.js is not installed on your system
2. Node.js is installed but not properly added to your PATH
3. You may be using a Node version manager (like nvm) that isn't properly configured in your shell environment
## Solution
Let's first check if Node.js is installed and accessible:
---
_****_
```bash
which node || echo "Node not found"
```
```
which node || echo "Node not found"
?➜ mcp which node || echo "Node not found"
/Users/obaidahmed/.nvm/versions/node/v21.7.3/bin/node
➜ mcp
```
---
_****_
I can see that Node.js is installed on your system via nvm (Node Version Manager) at `/Users/obaidahmed/.nvm/versions/node/v21.7.3/bin/node`.
The issue is that the MCP server process isn't finding this Node.js installation. This is likely because nvm sets up Node.js in your interactive shell environment, but not in the non-interactive environment that the system uses to launch processes.
Let's examine your MCP server configuration:
