This PR adds a new Troubleshooting section to the MCP server README, specifically addressing issues when running the server in Claude Desktop due to incorrect or conflicting Node.js versions.
Changes include:
• Step-by-step guide to verify Node.js 18+ installation
• Instructions for checking multiple Node installations (Homebrew, nvm, system-wide)
• Recommended installation methods using Node.js 20 (LTS)
• Clarified npx execution behavior in different PATH setups
• Final step to restart Claude Desktop after environment changes
This update aims to help non-developer users resolve common startup issues more easily, especially when using MCP through LLM tools like Claude Desktop.
