Troubleshooting
"command not found" — Install Node.js 18+: nodejs.org
"Failed to connect" — Try running the server manually to see error output:
SHIPSAVING_APP_KEY=sk_your_app_key npx -y shipsaving-mcp
If it hangs (waiting for input), the server started successfully. If it errors immediately, you'll see the issue.
To clear the npx cache:
