Failing to start mcp-shrimp-task-manager

[chsanch]

Checks

• I have searched github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
• I have run q doctor in the affected terminal session
• I have run q restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

macOS 15.5.0 (24F74)

Expected behaviour

I want to configure https://github.com/cjo4m06/mcp-shrimp-task-manager, but is not working, this is the config I'm using, inside the MCP servers section I have added this:

"shrimp-task-manager": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-shrimp-task-manager"
      ],
      "timeout": 12000,
      "disabled": false,
      "env": {
        "DATA_DIR": "/tmp/shrimp-data",
        "TEMPLATES_USE": "en",
        "ENABLE_GUI": "false",
        "WEB_PORT": "3388"
      }
    }

I have other mcp servers that work properly, this is the same config I use in other agents

Actual behaviour

When I start a q chat session, I got this message:

> /mcp

shrimp_task_manager
