Unable to use Qdrant MCP server on claude desktop on Macbook m3 pro.

[aramdov]

I am on Macbook M3 Pro. Can't run it by adding it to my config.

Context:
I have python 3.11.11 and 3.9 installed on my system.

uv-tool-uvx 0.5.9 (0652800cb 2024-12-13)

mcp-server-qdrant.log

@aramdov I'm trying to reproduce it, however I would need to know more about the way you launched it. Could you please share some details on how you run the mcp-server-qdrant?

[pavanjava]

@aramdov : can you please, post the log

[KamilSlaweta]

@pavanjava I have the same problem. Log are here mcp-server-qdrant.log

@KamilSlaweta, You posted the logs from @aramdov again. Could you please share how you run the MCP server? There are different ways, and I need that information to reproduce the issue. ENOENT means "Error NO ENTity", so something is clearly missing.

@kacperlukawski 🤦 sorry... I was playing locally with some options and did a wrong copy/paste. Here are the logs:

If you are developing this MCP server you can add output to stderr (i.e. `console.error('...')` in JavaScript, `print('...', file=sys.stderr)` in python) and it will appear in this log.

@KamilSlaweta Are you sure you have uvx installed on your machine? Could you please confirm that? Here is an installation instruction: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/

I run the MCP server by editing the config in .../claude/claude_desktop_config.json. I see there is a docker container for this running on my system.
I even tried manually turning on the container and restarting claude desktop and it still did not work.

    "qdrant": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-qdrant"],
      "env": {
        "QDRANT_URL": "https://8156d83d-8314-4b84-9c24-c92f9f43678e.europe-west3-0.gcp.cloud.qdrant.io",
        "QDRANT_API_KEY": "< I am removing this part>",
        "COLLECTION_NAME": "aram-personal",
        "EMBEDDING_MODEL": "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
      }
    }

Mac OS version is 15.3.2 (24D81).

Container ID is sha256:2518e8ab72cb78ddc6b1b1bfab671acffcb574fc51f999dfa80fd354499a06e3.
Image is mcp-server-qdrant:latest.

instead of uvx, can we use docker or upx?

My current uvx version is uv-tool-uvx 0.5.9 (0652800cb 2024-12-13).
I also tried replacing uvx with docker and it did not work.

Thank you, @aramdov. That makes things clear! I think we need to improve our documentation on how to configure different clients when the Docker container is used, as the configuration you shared actually tries to run the server locally with uvx. Let me see how we can improve it.
