 ### MCP tools missing
 Validate `~/.deepseek/mcp.json` (or `DEEPSEEK_MCP_CONFIG`) and restart.
 
-### Command not found (npm install)
-Ensure `npm` is installed and the global bin directory is in your `PATH`.

 ### Sandbox errors (macOS)
 Ensure `/usr/bin/sandbox-exec` exists (comes with macOS). For other platforms, sandboxing is limited.
