Troubleshooting MCP Server Launch Failures on M1 Mac (Claude Desktop Integration)

Context and Symptoms

When attempting to integrate a local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with Anthropic’s Claude Desktop app on an M1 MacBook, users have encountered launch failures. In this scenario, the MCP server (written in Python 3.10–3.13 and run in a virtual environment) fails to start when Claude Desktop tries to connect to it. The Claude app’s logs repeatedly show an error message like:

Error: spawn uv ENOENT

A small tutorial for how to set up Git Server on Mac OS X. The main dificulty was to create a "system" user (aka "daemon", uid<=500) and allow ssh login for it.

1. I need 'git'-user to be system - not visible in standart users list.
2. I need to allow ssh access only for some users/groups.

The tutorial for Git server setting up - http://git-scm.com/book/ca/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server

So I need to create system user 'git' with homefolder.

System user creation script - http://serverfault.com/a/532860. I've modified it a little and uploaded here https://gist.github.com/mwf/20cbb260ad2490d7faaa#file-create_sys_user-sh.
