what is the working directory and path?

Hi

What needs to be input as working directory and path for MCP?

I get the below error:
Arbigent: I: Connecting to MCP server...
Arbigent: I: Connecting to server: android
Arbigent: I: Starting MCP server: android with command: C:/Users/SVC_TESTPRAC/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/Scripts/uv.exe --directory C:/Users/SVC_TESTPRAC/Desktop/PROEJCT-ARBIGENT/android-mcp-server run server.py
Arbigent: I: Setting PATH: C:/Users/SVC_TESTPRAC/Desktop/PROEJCT-ARBIGENT
Arbigent: I: Setting working directory: C:/Users/SVC_TESTPRAC/Desktop/PROEJCT-ARBIGENT/androidmcp
Arbigent: I: Server process started (PID: 12104)
Arbigent: W: MCP server error output: error: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)
Arbigent: I: MCP server process exited with code: 2

Working directory and path I have given is:
C:\Users\SVC_TESTPRAC\Desktop\PROEJCT-ARBIGENT\androidmcp

The MCP server that I am trying to use is:
https://github.com/minhalvp/android-mcp-server

The working directory is where you execute commands.
So, if the command is ls, you can see the files in that directory.
The "PATH" (environment variable) is a list of directories where the system looks for executable commands.
So, if you have a command like jq located in /users/xxx/xxx/jq, and you want to use jq without typing the full path, you need to add /users/xxx/xxx to your PATH.

Thanks a lot. This holds good for a single MCP server. But what about multiple MCP servers. I might require multiple MCP server as part or my project.

Thanks. However, I think most MCP clients don't even have PATH and working directory options. As for the PATH, while it can differ between operating systems, I believe you can use the colon (:) as a delimiter for multiple paths, such as /xxxx:/yyy/zzz.
